Not sure how I didn't find this before, but https://github.com/zyedidia/generic looks like a decent library. Although there are some decent libraries out there for this kind of thing, my complaint mostly stems fro

I ended up doing more actual programming in two of my Computer Engineering classes than I did in most of my computer science classes. We actually learned about structuring programs and adding useful abstractions to our microcontroller code,

I like simple languages without bells and whistles but for me, Go has some flaws that I cannot look past. Specifically the map type. Unlike some Map implementations in Java, maps in Go are not ordered and there is no way to order them unles

Its generics aren't as advanced as Java's or any other language with generics for that matter. Plus most things are now only adding support for generics, so there's a fragmented ecosystem of code before and after generics wer

Let's assume that some malicious third party has control of the certificate that was created by this fishy CA. The main attack that they could carry out is a man in the middle (MitM) attack. This attack requires this malicious third pa

I have individually addressable LEDs, so I created a domain specific language (DSL) to control the LEDs, meaning controlling the pattern of the LEDs is best done by sending a message to it. Honestly the DSL really isn't that great. I&#

Meanwhile I cannot turn my living room LED lights on or off because I control them through discord. I guess that's what I get for relying on a messaging service to control my lights.

Additionally, there's no way to buy the Dolby Atmos mixes of most albums yet. Spatial sound mixes might actually have a chance at going mainstream, but you'll have to pay for these subscription services to access them.

I've been using Plexamp for the past 4 years, and its been great for music on my phone and computer. One thing it lacks is a good offline mode. Recently I started syncing my media to my laptop as a backup, and as a way to locally play

Shouldn't you at least put those environment variables in ~/.profile? You'd want to make sure applications like VS Code and whatnot pick up the configurations. ~/.zshrc would only be used for interactive zsh sessions, wh

People seem to be complaining about the server component of GraphQL being too hard to maintain, but I'm curious what language and tools they are using. I find that using a code first approach with a language such as Java can provide pr
