teajunky··on The Barbican
This week the Software Development and Design conference takes place at the Barbican Center: https://sddconf.com/
teajunky··on The German problem? It's an analogue country in a digital world
I take a very positive view of the fact that German society is not yet fully digitalized and that some developments are viewed rather critically and are only adopted in part. Ultimately, I see adaptability as a particular strength of Germany. There is always a willingness to learn from mistakes and improve. In a pluralistic society, this sometimes takes time, but I am sure that Germany is still on the right track. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Germany was often referred to as “the sick man of Europe”. That may now be the case again in the eyes of some people, but this will only be a transitional phase.
teajunky··on ICQ will stop working from June 26
Thanks for licq. This was my favourite client.
teajunky··on Full ignition for ESA’s reusable rocket engine
You watch this video about the excitement level of NASA vs ESA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtOGcgWozd4
teajunky··on There's something off about LED bulbs
Anyone watching Star Trek Picard knows that we all will sit in the dark in the future.
teajunky··on Valve Employee Handbook (2012) [pdf]
I would like to see handbooks of other companies. Does anyone know of any other handbooks?

teajunky··on The Prince symbol has been salvaged from a 1993 floppy disk
The name doesn't matter to me. I would like to hear these five hundred songs
teajunky··on I use Attrs instead of Pydantic
The author of the article is very biased because he is also the (co-)author of these libraries.

Personally I think that is not the fine way to bash other projects in the open source community. Clearly, attrs+cattrs and pydantic focus on different things. Let us all live together peacefully :)

teajunky··on Reloadr – Hot code reloading tool for Python
I am developing my own reloader in spirit of jrebel and how hotswapping works in javascript bundlers.

While investigating the topic I found a lot of projects: - https://github.com/yiblet/inquest - https://github.com/mpolney/hotpatch - https://pypi.org/project/patchy/ - https://pypi.org/project/plone.reload/ - http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/xreload/ - https://pypi.org/project/hot_reload/ - https://pypi.org/project/Reloadr/ - https://pypi.org/project/hotswap/ - https://pypi.org/project/reloading/ - https://pypi.org/project/hotreload/ - https://pypi.org/project/livereload/ - https://pypi.org/project/reimport/ - https://pypi.org/project/livecoding/ - https://pypi.org/project/pylivecoding/ - https://pypi.org/project/nameko-hot-reload/ - https://github.com/albertz/PythonHotswap - https://github.com/mikr/pyqtboiler/blob/master/baseapp/utils... - https://github.com/narfdotpl/hottie with decorator - https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/f8c9ea7db42d9830f163... - https://github.com/breuleux/jurigged

I thing that xreload from Guido and the code inside ipython both provide the best hot-patching. But both projects miss the feature to watch for changed files.

teajunky··on Kosher search engine powered by 4 car batteries on a passively cooled server
If there was a God, I don't think he likes being tricked.
teajunky··on JWT (JSON Web Token) debugger
Thanks. I once searched for it but only found some used libraries.
teajunky··on JWT (JSON Web Token) debugger
Looking into the page inspector shows 165 http requests on the start page. It includes ads, tracker and analystics from multiple sources (google, twitter, linkedin, facebook etc).

Can anyone sugguest an (offline?) alternative?

I used jwt.io a lot for debugging and it's great. Currently it is decoding the tokens on the client but I am not sure if I should continue using it.

A hacker could take over the site and capture thousands of access tokens and some are valid for multiple days.

Edit: Installing uBlock origin reduces the number of requests down to 67 but I still see the analytics stuff from google and twitter.

teajunky··on Héctor Garcia-Molina, 1953–2019
I still own a copy of "Database Systems: The Complete Book" (by Hector Garcia-Molina, Jeffrey D. Ullman and Jennifer Widom). I highly recommend it. Those books with such deep knowledge are very rare these days.
teajunky··on Type inference
Every article on Eli Bendersky's website is just great. If he ever writes a book I would immediately buy one.
teajunky··on Pybind11 — Seamless operability between C++11 and Python
Has anyone looked at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cppyy ? This seems to be even easier than pybind11
teajunky··on Speech-to-Text-WaveNet: End-to-end sentence level English speech recognition
Wow train.py contains only 83 lines of code (including a few empty lines and commets). And recognize.py is only litte bit longer with 108 lines. Very impressive.
teajunky··on Terraform 0.7 released
Do I need AWS to use this tool? The company I work for operates its own data center.
teajunky··on Torus: A distributed storage system by CoreOS
This reminds me of the SheepDog storage architecture (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/) SheepDog provides safe distributed block devices and uses corosync or Zookeeper instead of etcd.
