Ten command line tools for 2026

Arthur Turrell

Back in 2020, I wrote a post about ten lesser known Python packages. Coding and data science have changed a lot in those six years: large language models are the most obvious example! But there have been plenty of other developments too. So I wanted to run down ten command line tools that are...

Dynamic Social Media Images for Hugo

Adam Caudill

I’m a big fan of Hugo as a publishing platform, it’s the framework behind this site, and is incredibly flexible - if you are willing to invest the time and effort to make it truly yours. It’s fast, versatile, and has robust theming support. However, it’s also a static site generator, so doing...

A WordPress Book Club

jorbin

At a previous job, we had an engineering book club. Once a week we would meet and discuss a chapter of a book. It was a good opportunity to hear multiple perspectives on an author’s work, to see who agreed with the author and where people thought the author was off-base. I would like to bring...

Ultra-modern Python Cookiecutters

Arthur Turrell

In January 2020, Claudio Jolowicz published an extremely influential post on Hypermodern Python. It was extremely influential on me, anyway, because it introduced me to a number of tools that I now consider essential to creating solid, high-quality and low-maintenance Python packages. As part of...

VCD dumping in Chisel 6.5 / svsim

admin

Since Chisel 5, chiseltest (formerly known as chisel-testers2) is no longer supported and has been replaced with svsim in the default chisel-template. Unfortunately, the new system doesn’t provide an easy way to dump VCDs from tests. On vanilla Chisel 6.5 this ended up requiring two separate...

Do the easy things

“Nothing worth doing is easy” it’s been said. While there are many worthy things in life that are hard to accomplish, there is no shortage of worthy easy ones. We are often intimidated by tasks perceived as too big or hard. They tend to seem like too much for our limited skills, shaky motivation...

Pursuing the right tech stack for me

Meta: This post is journal entry-like. It's not well thought out, researched or refined. I'm a programmer and I like to work on my own projects. Sometimes for fun, sometimes for profit, sometimes for something in between. So then, I need a tech stack. Yes, the most appropriate tech stack will...

I just started a new job. Naturally, that means learning my way around a new codebase. Here is an analogy for how that feels. Imagine that you are a taxi driver in Chicago.

Don't Use Modular Arithmetic With Negative Numbers

Most programmers are familiar with the "modulus" operator, which is the percent symbol in the language C and many other programming languages that have followed.  Anyone who remembers learning division in elementary school will recall that when you divide a number, say 21 by a smaller number, say...

Classes often aren't the simplest tool for the job

Sometimes, the elegant implementation is just a function. Not a method. Not a class. Not a framework.

Code quality interviews

I've been through a lot of coding interviews in my life. I've had four jobs, and thus have been through the job search process four times.

A Subtle Difference between C and C++: String Literals

Preston Crow

For the most part, C++ is a superset of C.  You can write C code, rename the file with a .cpp extension, and the compiler will compile it in C++ mode, generating essentially the same code.  In fact, the very first C++ compilers were actually C compilers with extra pre-processing.  But there are...
