Most of my day, I use TypeScript and JavaScript.

Up to recently, I was using an older style to invoke a synchronous function in Python that required using a worker pool.

I was writing code in Python that required a modulo.

My son received a Carrera race track for his birthday.

The library asyncio offers a queue.

Python offers various methods for handling code that executes in a non-sequential manner.

I own a Discord server where I have over 140 members.

The last time I had a search on my blog was when it was hosted using WordPress.

Last month, I started learning the programming language Go (golang).

I have developed in many ways throughout the years from a very strict object-oriented approach with Java and C# to a more functional approach using JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.

Stepping back from this single blog post, we can see a huge shift in programming languages.

I wrote about 200 automated (unit and integration) tests in the last few months in my , and I am delighted by the experience.

My first hand with Python was between 2018 and 2021 when I studied machine learning master's degree.

In this short essay, I'll explain why people who overload their time are not only inefficient but a detriment to a team.

In my career, I have noticed a few details that significantly increase the quality of a software product.

I have been coding a Discord bot for about 6 months now in Python (see this introduction ).

I landed a new job in November 2023 and I had two weeks before starting.

In 2023, I was in a period of interviews for a new job.

I have been playing video games sporadically for a few months and have a small group of people with whom I enjoy playing.

I recently worked on a Discord bot that allows the user of the guild (Discord server) to react to an emoji for a specific time of the day.

Depending on your situation, you may be limited in receiving notifications when it is time for you to review a pull request.

Every endpoint of an API service has different steps, such as receiving the request and sending a response.

The latest TypeScript version, 5.4, brings a new utility type.

Git Hooks are scripts that run automatically before or after a Git command.

Middleware has changed since NextJS 13.

I will show you how to add console and network logs in Playwright.

There are ways to redirect the outputs of a terminal's command if the output is not desirable.

Your code is working locally and then you push into your testing environment, or worse your production environment and it does not.

The use case is this one: you have a function that live directly into a TypeScript (.ts) file.

I recently posted that I migrated from Gatsby to NextJS.

In 2021, I migrated my WordPress Blog to Gatsby (see ).

The has a small OLED screen.

Keeping your branch up-to-date with the main branch or the feature branch is a necessity.

I have been using React with TypeScript for over seven years.

JavaScript is a language with several built-in functions.

Developing web applications and services requires opening ports on a machine.

Redpanda is a C++ implementation of Kafka that is very performance and easy to install because it does not require Java or Apache Zookeeper.

Once in a while, your work environment could be more optimal for what you try to achieve.

Transferring data using the HDMI cable and the capture card continues to demonstrate how easily corruption can cause the file to be unusable.

Last time, we determined that the original idea of relying on a insignificant character to fill the frame is not great.

This fifth article is about how to transfer a file using only video from one computer to another.

Reading the video without going by the video card and the HDMI cable was a success.

In this third part, we assume the Rust code has generated the video and the source computer, containing the file to transfer, is playing the video in loops into the HDMI display.

The second part of transferring a file via video using HDMI will focus on the file-to-video and video-to-file code portions.

In this series of blog posts, I will discuss transferring files using an HDMI port to a USB port of another computer.

You want to send an action from a list of specific possible actions.

We discussed about in a recent blog article.

TypeScript follows ECMAScript (JavaScript) specification, and the concept of iteration grew up in the language in the past few years.

My first reaction when satisfies operator launched with TypeScript 4.9 was that it was one more complex to understand in the language.
