Where are we going from here? Software engineering needs formal methods

from ntietz.com blog - technically a blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

3rd Jul 2021
The job of a software engineer is not to produce code, but to solve problems; we just happen to solve most of those problems by producing code. Ultimately, producing code is hard, and we need help. That's why GitHub's Copilot is exciting, but it's far from ideal, and it's the tip...

I had a few hours of “fun” figuring out why my RP2350 could use my ILI9341 display, but not the ST7796 one. To be more specific, displaying stuff with the first display worked flawlessly, while the ST7796 would display a single frame correctly, and then glitch. Depending on the...

Lexical differential highlighting instead of syntax highlighting

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
