A collection of thoughts and experiments that at one point occupied my time,
some still do. These are the things happening in my idle cycles.
It wouldn't be right to pick on Firefox all the time, so here I
document bugginess within another program I have to use frequently,
Slack.
Noodling on a different software I've wanted to write at one point
or another I've been considering about how I'd design one specific
kind of application; the manual test case management system.
I got to reading about different methods of calculating Pi and
couldn't resist implementing at least one in J.
A bit disheartening but Mozilla has pushed out a new release for
Firefox on Android and I find myself once again befuddled by the
number of bugs.
A real world use case for an interesting Nginx configuration
presented itself recently. Some notes on proxying multiple non-HTTP
sites and servers on one machine.
A silly interview challenge posed to me recently — implement an
optimal hangman player. I thought it would be fun to try it out in
Emacs Lisp.
I've been testing out alternatives to some of the tools I use most
frequently and collecting my notes. Having finally taken a step back
I've been amazed at how much I've found myself tolerating and how
refreshing it is to use tools that aren't broken.
I only just
finished complaining about
the plotting facilities in J being under-documented and realized
how to accomplish what I was trying to do. Just a few notes so I
don't forget.
After reading julia as
a cli calculator I thought it might be interesting to do a
comparison with J.
Watching Jonathan Blow's
talk Preventing
the Collapse of Civilization today, it is bombastic but
entertaining. He suggests (at the 22:50 mark) documenting all of the
problems you run into using software and I thought that could be an
interesting exercise to try.
