PiCloud cloudpickle

Fri 10 January 2014

There are quite a few implementations for this problem, but none of them worked quite as well. picloud's cloudpickle is great!

The problem: You have a python function on one computer that you want to execute on the other. The naive way is rather simple, but you quickly run into …continue

Build Target Requirements

Thu 09 January 2014

While thinking about my previous post, hermetic build systems, I realized that while a file-generating rule can be the basis, the most important rules are the binary rules, so a 'genrule' must have the option to output binaries.

Also, the binary rules must have the ability to get all the …continue

Hermetic Build Systems

Tue 31 December 2013

Over time, I've come to really like and expect a good hermetic build system. It allows you to really be sure of what's going to happen when you run your binary on any supported system. This makes keeping development and production systems in line very easy, just have the same …continue

Another reminder about the debt ceiling

Tue 01 October 2013

The debt ceiling is  not the cause of the current government shutdown, nor will not increasing it benefit anyone. Instead, passing a proper budget would end the shutdown and could change the situation around the multi-trillion dollar debt.

Again, the debt ceiling is something the country will hit in a …continue

G13 Part 3

Thu 22 August 2013

After some time, I've come back to this and thought the next useful thing would be to add graphics to the LCD. While I've written low-level graphics before, it wasn't a pleasant experience so I went with a graphics library I've seen used before that had built-in support for fonts …continue

G13 Part 2

Sat 29 June 2013

I've updated the code on github to include the state machine and some plugins I promised in the last post. I wrote it back then but, once again, didn't have time to post about it until now. There is an example plugin that simply activates a new state after a …continue

G13

Sun 31 March 2013

I got a G13 recently, but not for the usual use-case. Instead of gaming, of which I do very little, I bought it for speeding up my own workflow both at home and at work. Since I'm not using it for the expected use-case by Logitech, their software obviously didn't …continue

Wikipedia "templates" Part 2

Fri 01 March 2013

I'll start this adventure off with the basics, what one would expect in a template language for an online encyclopedia. We'll be skipping all the text-formatting and layout markup since they're well-documented and very straight forward. You can find it on the Help:Wiki markup page, I'll be skipping the …continue

Wikipedia "templates" Part 1

Mon 25 February 2013

Wikipedia templates seem to have grown organically, and that's the nicest way to describe it. They look simple at first glance, just a bunch of squiggly brackets to denote everything, how bad can it be?

In this multi-part series, I'll be writing about the complicated bits of the wikipedia template …continue

Wikipedia "templates"

Sat 23 February 2013

I've been dealing with Wikipedia 'templates' recently, so I'll be exploring their syntax, parsing, and rendering in the next few posts. Here's a taste:
