Building something that already exist (but worse) so I don't have to think about Leetcode: Bridge Four, a simple, functional, effectful, single-leader, multi worker, distributed compute system optimized for embarrassingly parallel workloads.
Going from a single, bare metal Debian server to two physical machines, 7 VMS, 5 zfs pools, and a whole bunch of data and networking: An experience. Also, stuff broke.
QGIS is incredible: You can build maps that make use of the absolute wealth of public data out there and put Google Maps to absolute shame. This article is doing just that.
Building custom Linux images, dealing with a 40 year old GPS standard, & trying to shoehorn functional programming into Python: Tracking vehicle location offline with a Raspberry Pi. (Part 1)
Types, type classes, implicits, tagless-final, effects, and other things: Not everything in the world of functional programming is bleak and overly academic. A view on FP & scala concepts someone who loves to complain actually likes.
Reviewing 'Essential Scala' and 'Functional Programming Simplified', while explaining why Spark has nothing to do with Scala, and asking why learning Functional Programming is such a pain. A (maybe) productive rant (or an opinionated essay).
How I build what is essentially a self-service Data Lake at home to narrow down the search area for a new house, instead of using Zillow like a normal person, using Spark, Iceberg, and Python.
A quick project to write a Telegram chat bot that can control a camera, connected to a Raspberry Pi, to take pictures of things; or: Why I refuse to trust IoT vendors and do everything myself
Part 2 of throwing Raspberry Pis at the pepper plants in my garden: On the topics of 3D printing, more bad solder jobs, I2C, SPI, Python, go, SQL, and failures in CAD.
