I’ve been trying to adapt my coding workflow to LLMs for a while.

First things first: Happy Canada Day, everyone!

Back in January I posted about how I view LLMs, which included my workflow of doing LLM-assisted coding.

I pay for a lot of small apps.

A couple of days ago I posted about my workflow and I made light fun of something I do: I also give it context to save time.

I’m agent-agnostic, in which I don’t use only one.

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a bit, but never found the right time.

A while ago I was a little skeptical of AI-assisted coding.

Years ago I posted about getting the c-cedilla (ç) working in Fedora when using the US International keyboard with deadkeys.

I’m going to leave this here in case someone out there is looking for the same thing, because this one was hard to figure out for me.

Since I was a kid, I’ve loved aviation.

I’ve had a soft spot for mechanical keyboards for a long time.

I just checked and it’s been exactly 1,594 days since I last posted on this blog.

I’ve finished the game last night.

The Go proposal committee has declined the try proposal.

It has been six days since the try proposal was posted and the issue already has hundreds of comments.

Yesterday Robert Griesemer posted a proposal for a new try built-in in Go.

I’m a big fan of the way Go does zero values, meaning it initializes every variable to a default value.

This post is also available in other languages: Russian: Введение в модули Go Uzbek: Go modullariga kirish The upcoming version 1.11 of the Go programming language will bring experimental support for modules, a new dependency management system for Go.

Update: the licence plate application has since been refused.

Update: much of this article has been rendered obsolete by changes made to Go modules since.

So we created a concurrency-safe LRU in the last post, but it was too slow when used concurrently because of all the locking.

In my job, I often catch myself having to implement a way to keep data in memory so I can use them at a later time.

I’ve just spent much more time than I ever wanted to get this right, so here’s how I did it for future reference.

China wants to be the first country to build a practical space-based solar power station.

Rodney Brooks writes about the 7 Deadly Sins of AI Predictions.

I haven’t commented on the recent brouhaha caused by Caddy‘s decision to offer commercial licences, so I’ll do it briefly here before moving to the important part.

Whenever someone posts anything related to the Go programming language on Hacker News, it never takes long before someone complains about error handling.

My adopted country is celebrating its 150th anniversary today.

The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis reports that India is cancelling plans for huge coal power stations because solar energy prices are lower, which, if true, represents a huge threshold for sustainable energy productions.

I’m back from a trip to a customer.

A few months back I decided to try and burst out of my bubble.

Quem utiliza teclado US Internacional para escrever no Linux já deve ter dado de cara com o fato de que na maioria das distribuições, a combinação ‘+c gera um “ć” em vez de um “ç”.

Must-read article on “human computer” Katherine Johnson.

Mads Torgersen wrote a blog post highlighting what’s new in C# 7.0: C# 7.0 adds a number of new features and brings a focus on data consumption, code simplification and performance.

I’ve been terribly busy with work lately and so I haven’t really had much time for my side projects.

So this is me today.

Conscient du fait que mon français n’est pas très bon (j’apprends), je pense cependant qu’il est important de l’écrire dans cette langue, car vous m’avez fait savoir que toute autre langue n’est pas acceptable.

It’s time for me to say goodbye.

Years ago, I was part of a project that went completely off the rails.

Hi, I have a question Do you ever not?

I’ve just installed Git on a Windows 10 box using apt-get.

There’s this project I’ve been working on in ReactJS and Chrome and I needed to use a <webview> component.

I wrote about how the Go and C# compilers implement interfaces and mentioned how C# deals with clashing method names but I didn’t talk about how Go does it, so here it is.

I make no secret of the fact that I love Go.

Github has published a Swift Style Guide: When you have to meet certain criteria to continue execution, try to exit early.

Spoilers abound.

Go is often described as a simple language.

I have a friend who is all into the whole evolutionary psychology fad.
