Many of us create a few Git commits daily, either through GUI tools or the command line. It can be as simple as following these steps: # 1. Modify or create a file in your working directory. echo '# my change' > 'test.sh' #2. Add the modification to the staging area of git. git add test.sh # 3. Commit the staged cha...

In this particular future, we will all use handheld spreadsheets stored on microcassettes, talking to each other via speakerphone, and probably listening to Devo and New Order a lot. (Though that part isn't too different from my actual present.) It's been awhile since we've had an entry for reasons I'll talk about l...

July 17, 2023 at 7:00 am After we got the go-ahead to start developing PCAS (see an update on PCAS here), I had meetings with a wide range of liberal arts and sciences faculty. I’d ask faculty how they used computing in their work and what they wanted their students to know about computing. Some faculty had suggeste...

A large majority of computer systems have some state and are likely to depend on a storage system. My knowledge on databases accumulated over time, but along the way our design mistakes caused data loss and outages. In data-heavy systems, databases are at the core of system design goals and tradeoffs. Even though it...

RustConf 2024 is next week, so I thought I’d put up a written version of my RustConf 2023 talk about signals in time for that. I’ve tried to retain the feel of it being a talk, while editing it heavily to make it readable as a blog entry. Some links:Imagine you’re in the middle of a conversation, when suddenly, a ta...

Very broadly, there are two conflicting views of abstractions in computing. One camp says that abstractions simplify the underlying complexity but people still should know about what is behind the curtain, because all abstractions are leaky. The other camp says that abstractions should hide the underlying complexity...

For a few years now I have been working on the Haskell Language Server (HLS), and the lsp library for the LSP protocol and writing LSP servers. Unsurprisingly, I have developed some opinions about the design of the LSP! Recently I gave a talk about HLS and LSP at the Haskell Ecosystem Workshop at Zurihac 2024. One s...

Generally, chess puzzles will present you with a position and ask you to find the best move. There’s only one, and all other moves are losing. These are great, but I’ve been thinking of a different style of puzzle that I’d like to practice with. What I want is a chess position, then two moves presented as options; o...

cargo-semver-checks v0.35 can determine whether Rust traits are "sealed", allowing it to catch many tricky new instances of SemVer breakage. Why is accurate sealed trait detection so important, and why is implementing it correctly so hard? Say our library contains the following trait: pub trait Example: Super { fn f...
