My career and a thought experiment

from On Test Automation [alt+shift+b] in programming

19th Jan 2025
As is the case every year, 2025 is starting off relatively slowly. There’s not a lot of training courses to run yet, and since a few of the projects I worked on wrapped up in December, I find myself with a little bit of extra time and headspace on my hands. I actually enjoy these...

[Renovated] Estimating floating point error the easy way

from Words and Buttons Online [alt+shift+b] in programming

11th May 2019
Unforeseen floating point error is the source of the most unpleasant bugs. The bugs that come and go unpredictably. The bugs that don't reproduce on unit-tests and lay low through the integration phase only to be seen by your most important customer.

Static typing isn’t free. Where do you think the C++ angry mob comes from?

from Words and Buttons Online [alt+shift+b] in programming

28th Jun 2023
Type inference works like logic deduction so any program in a statically typed language is two programs. The first one is the thing you sell, and the second – is a model that undergoes some sort of verification every time you run a compiler. This second program, although, often...

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!
