Dawn of the Dev. The musings of Kat Crichton-Seager, artist / musician / coder. Friday, 19 October 2012. I’ve finally worked out why Thunderbird email has been almost unusable since upgrading my various Ubuntu machines to Precise Pangolin 12.04. The symptoms were very sluggish Thunderbird interface response, leading to a segmentation fault crash. The crashes only happened sometimes and didn’t seem to follow a pattern of time from start-up. Seems to have been responsible. EDS. Is the Evolution Data Server.

Dawn of the Dev: Learning Erlang Recursion
http://blog.crichton-seager.com/2014/05/learning-erlang-recursion.html
Dawn of the Dev. The musings of Kat Crichton-Seager, artist / musician / coder. Monday, 20 February 2012. I’m learning the Erlang Programming Language. And am currently working on the recursion exercise. In the erlang course. The min and max functions seemed pretty straightforward;. Min([X,Y]) when X Y - Y; min([X, ]) - X; min([H T]) - min(H,min(T) . max([X,Y]) when X Y - X; max([ ,Y]) - Y; max([H T]) - max(H,max(T) . min max(List) - {min(List),max(List)}. Can anyone improve on that?

Dawn of the Dev. The musings of Kat Crichton-Seager, artist / musician / coder. Monday, 20 July 2009. Speed Camera Law Change. Or prejudice the law enforcement agencies. Against anyone who expresses a point of view. The introduction of GATSO. Speed cameras seems to have been the thin edge of another wedge. Speed cameras were introduced “to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured in road collisions”. This sounds great, less people hurt or killed, who could complain? A crash in the process.

Dawn of the Dev. The musings of Kat Crichton-Seager, artist / musician / coder. Tuesday, 29 December 2009. Comments vs Readable Code. There is a widely. Mantra of Extreme Programming that says that comments are superfluous. Inaccurate and often out-of-date meta-information just makes your self-describing code and accompanying tests harder to read and understand. It is dogma that leads to this problem. It is important to remember that “no comments” is mantra. Okay, sometimes higher level architectural str...

Dawn of the Dev: April 2010

Dawn of the Dev. The musings of Kat Crichton-Seager, artist / musician / coder. Wednesday, 28 April 2010. I’ve been living and working in L’viv. A spectacular Medieval city near the west border of Ukraine. For a couple of weeks now. I’m trying to learn a bit of the language, but it’s fairly hard getting your message across. Very few people who went to school during the Soviet era learnt English, because the chances of travelling anywhere where it was spoken were very slim. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
