Diagnosing character encoding issues. Natural language is horrible. Unicode is an attempt to make it fit inside computers. I'm going to make up some terms. A group of related lines representing what English people would call a letter. A group of related lines that might be stand-alone, or might be combined to make a symbol. And use some existing, well defined terms. If you use one of these wrongly, people. A number between 0 and 1.1 million that uniquely identifies a glyph. Nothing to do with. And copy t...

Fat data and Postgres. I spend a reasonable portion of my life dealing with Medium Data: columnar files (typically CSV) you can easily fit on disc, can easily fit in disc cache after compression, and can probably fit in RAM after some pre-processing; files slightly too big to open in modern versions of Excel, and far, far too big for LibreOffice Calc or Apple's Pages. Have a column limit around the 1,000-2,000 column mark. My first attempt was to insert it directly from psycopg2. Create table arrays as s...

I'm paranoid, but also poor. I use gitolite. To control access to my git repositories. Because github wanted $200/month. To meet half of my requirements, and wern't interested in negotiating (I tried). Like github, I have two types of git repositories. Public repositories; which show up on gitweb and git-daemon and etc., that everyone can access; and private repositories, which contain my bank details. My conf file consists of:. A set of user groups:. A set of repositories. Both public and private:.

I was at Fosdem 2014. I experienced some things which may count as learning, or just exclamations. I'm not really sure how this kind of thing works. (editor's note: I guess, having written it, that the term is "braindump"). Reproducible Builds for Debian. 65% of the archive can be reproduced from binaries we have available. Is a great source of entropy; timestamps are a great source of source-control noise. Maybe we should make a. For people to use instead of. Is a nice bundle of. Scaling Dovecot: Nice o...

I've been trying to learn Plover. For a couple of weeks. It's an entertaining experience. Quite a few words still stump me and I end up going to the dictionary. I've built a Plover summary and hints chart. And a new mobile-compatible Plover dictionary look-up. This post was composed on Plover at a total speed of around four words per minute. It's rather hard going so far.

In light of today's supposed LinkedIn breach, it seems like an appropriate time to finally write up my password policy. Many people have cottoned on to the idea that having the same password on different sites is a bad idea. There's various technical solutions to this, such as generating a site-specific. I, however, believe this scheme to be too inconvenient; they require you to always have access to the site or tool, and don't work well in public places. What we're really trying to do here is:. Come up ...

Frameworks, libraries and graphs. In his Serious Beard Talk. Delivered at DjangoCon 2008, Cal Henderson explains how he thinks frameworks affect productivity. I would like to bring it up again, because it's still as relevant as ever, and it's hard to link busy software engineers to YouTube videos (of things that aren't cats). A framework (or library? This results in roughly The Framework Graph, shown here, reproduced (in Paint) without permission. Why does it want all those parameters/config/values?
