I'm working on a function as a service platform that will eventually proxy to a cluster of worker machines. Currently, I'm not scaling in the most literal tech sense; it runs on a single server until I validate that people will ac

Sometimes smaller schools offer a better learning environment for CS. They have smaller class sizes, which means better relationships with professors. They sometimes will be more hands on and up to date, as they are not bogged down by profe

Yes, I'm using GNAT. Right now I'm working on a text based adventure game with procedural generated content. I was initially interested in the language because of how it allows for nested functions, so I bought a book and starte

I've been learning Ada as a hobby and I really like the language. Type system is powerful and flexible, compiler is really user friendly, OOP implementation is refreshingly DIY, support for concurrency via Tasks, C binding not too dif

In my experience the "deploy via SVN/Git" model is especially well suited to PHP.

I help mentor at my local Python meetup. It usually involves getting people set up, guiding them to resources, and helping with problems they find in their projects. I found my meetup on Meetup.com and just started regularly attending.

I seem to recall there was a way to play .swf files without a browser. It might be cool to see a standalone flash player, maybe a little like the Electron framework.

In my web development career (with python) it is usually only simple mixin-like inheritance, mostly because I can't stand code redundancy. In game development though, it is way easier to develop a full fledged class hierarchy. I think

I've been thinking about the same sorts of things for a little bit. Crazy thought: What about CGI? "It must be secure while supporting multitenancy" - wouldn't apache with suexec and *nix user permissions be enough? &qu

It took me a long time to realize that letting a hobby project last years is not a bad thing. I've even gone on spurts where I will put it down for several months and pick it back up later. Good code documentation and external docume

The way I've always approached this dilemma is to set up my testing framework and tooling so unit tests are possible, and then write them as I find bugs in early ad hoc testing. I know its very anti-TDD to write tests from a reactionar

I've had a Blackberry Classic for 2 years now, and I get a lot of flack from friends and family for it... The same people that have their OS lock up constantly, can't hold a charge for a whole day, and get a new phone every year

I have a friend that works there. He said everything he does runs in App Engine, and when they go for a feature update, they just push it off to one of several staging environments running App Engine, which is maintained by a team of devop

I'm from the region, and work remotely as a coder. Some of these really backwoods areas are very beautiful and tranquil, and when combined with the affordability, I think it is a great place to code. A lot of local politicians and ec

Thanks for this, I always have time articulating what I like about TCL.

by fuball63 10y ago
I have been really fascinated with TCL lately, and I've been working it into projects as a replacement for shell scripts for writing config files or automating server setup. I still feel like I should be using python though, and that I

I love the analogy to woodworking. When I am working on game dev, I prefer to use a old SDL based engine I developed in C++ instead of some of the new popular frameworks which are more productive and powerful. I just like tinkering and that

This is where the education part is also helpful. It's been so long since I made a primitive OS that I wouldn't even know where to improve. But even some of the concepts in TempleOS are fascinating.

by fuball63 10y ago
OS class was one of my favorites in college, and I was recently reading about the MikeOS project and it really inspired me to try and do it again.

Other than the educational value of doing so, what would be a reason to write a brand new operating system? Obviously there is a lot to learn about existing operating systems by coding you own, much in the way that writing a new languages
