The tradition of a "Hello, World" program goes back at least to 1978. But for modern coders, what's an appropriate "Hello, World"?

Manage your entire data labeling workflow with a single tool.

When polarizing topics are discussed in meetings, passions can run high and cloud our judgment. Learn how mental models can help you see clearly from this real-life scenario.

This is an easy to understand example based tutorial aimed at those who know nothing of awk.

Python codes implementing algorithms described in Bishop's book "Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning"

ffsend is a fully featured CLI client for Firefox Send. This article explains how to securely share files from commandline with ffsend on Linux.

Comparison among the number of command line options for various commands for v7 Unix (1979), slackware 3.1 (1996), ubuntu 12 (2015), and ubuntu 17 (2017).

The number of command line options has dramatically increased over time; they tend to have more options and there are no cases where programs have fewer options.

The C language is still prominent in the industrial embedded world, where “IoT” often refers to platforms much more limited than a Raspberry Pi. Often having to deal with such environments, we wrote the following informal explainer about C for internal company needs, and thought it could be of interest for more readers. This is basic material, mixing C and operating systems knowledge, aimed at readers with no or limited understanding of how you go from C source code to an executable. We could expand on many points, but for now we just share this meandering overview.

In order to increase fluency in a programming language, one has to read a lot of it. But how can you read a lot of it if you don't know what it means?
In this article, instead of focusing on one or two concepts, I'll try to go through as many Rust snippets as I can, and explain what the keywords and symbols they contain mean.

The C10k problem is still a puzzle for a programmer to find a way to solve it. Generally, developers deal with extensive I/O operations via thread, epoll, or kqueue to avoid their software waiting for an expensive task. However, developing a readable and bug-free concurrent code is challenging due to data sharing and job dependency. Even though some powerful tools, such as Valgrind, help developers to detect deadlock or other asynchronous issues, solving these problems may be time-consuming when the scale of software grows large. Therefore, many programming languages such as Python, Javascript, or C++ dedicated to developing better libraries, frameworks, or syntaxes to assist programmers in managing concurrent jobs properly. Instead of focusing on how to use modern parallel APIs, this article mainly concentrates on the design philosophy behind asynchronous programming patterns.

A customisable terminal status bar with universal shell/terminal compatibility. Currently works on Mac/Linux.

You're doing some work, and as part of that you need to run a command on the terminal that takes a little while to finish. You run the command, watch it for maybe a second and then switch to doing something else – checking email or something.

You get so deeply involved in your email that twenty minutes fly by. When you switch back to your terminal the command has finished, but you've got no idea whether it was nineteen seconds ago or nineteen minutes ago.

This happens to me a lot. I'm just not disciplined enough to sit and watch commands, and I'm not prescient enough to add something to each invocation to tell me. What I want is something that alerts me whenever long running commands finish.

This is it.

For the longest time, I believed that if smart people worked hard and grew up in a reasonably nurturing environment, success would come eventually.
I looked at other people and thought, “Wow, that person’s going to go on to do great things.”
But as I grew older, I realized that’s not necessarily the case. A few people I know who are intelligent and have a strong work ethic have gone on to do notable things, while many others are doing fine. Unfortunately, there are some that drift along, unsure about what to do.
I then realized that there are a lot of factors when it comes to success, whether it means having a fulfilling career, having great relationships, or staying healthy. Yes, smarts are part of it, and so is work ethic. But there’s more at play than just these two factors.

1. You don’t reach out to new people
2. You are averse to change
3. You’re not willing to take risks
4. You believe you deserve success based on credentials
5. You constantly go after whatever’s exciting at the moment
6. You can’t commit to a decision
7. You don’t believe in yourself
