Hidden settings are for cowards

from Applied Cartography [alt+shift+b] in technology

6 months ago
At Stripe, we had two abstractions for branching logic in production: flags, which were meant to be explicitly temporal (temporarily split-testing traffic; rolling out a new feature or code path; exposing a specific path for a cohort of users during a closed beta) and gates,...

Let's build a VORON: Wrap-up

from Jonas Hietala [alt+shift+b] in technology

a year ago
It’s finally done™. I’ve built a VORON that prints reliably and I’ve modded it enough to be able to leave it alone for a while, so I think it’s time to wrap up this build series with a little retrospective. Building the printer was really fun and rewarding I’ve always seen...

Code Matters

It looks like the code that the newly announced Figma Sites is producing isn’t the best. There are some cool Figma-to-WordPress workflows; I hope Sites gets more people exploring those options.

Boom & Deepseek

What an exciting time to be alive. I was hipped to Deepseek by Andrej Kaparthy’s tweet the day after Christmas, it was clear then that something big had happened and that it was truly open source and open weights (not this fake Llama stuff). It’s been fun to see the rest of the...

Metaprogramming in Zig and parsing CSS

from Notes on software development [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I knew Zig supported some sort of reflection on types. But I had been confused about how to use it. What's the difference between @typeInfo and @TypeOf? I ignored this aspect of Zig until a problem came up at work where reflection made sense. The situation was parsing and storing...

Table of Contents Selector View

from Christian Selig [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I wrote a new little view for a future version of Apollo that makes some changes to the default iOS version (that seems to be a weird trend in my recent programming, despite me loving built-in components). Here’s some details about it! It’s also available as a library on GitHub...

Optimizing things: everything is a proxy for a proxy for a proxy

from Home on Erik Bernhardsson [alt+shift+b] in technology

Say you build a machine learning model, like a movie recommender system. You need to optimize for something. You have 1-5 stars as ratings so let's optimize for mean squared error. Great. Then let's say you build a new model.

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!
