had that moment when I did "npm install" and it found 0 vulnerabilities and I'm like... that never happens!

Installing Visual Studio 2026 to see what all the buzz is about. Planning to migrate my project data web api from .NET 9 to 10, along with the new ide.

Started the official rewrite of the Sisyphus client in #golang, working on getting the Ffmpeg command-line tasks parsed and validated against the schema. This should make things easier to distribute with respect to the client as I can just distribute static binaries.

Code is not always a liability. Code does have value. The value of code is measured by how much other code doesn't need to exist as a result.

Antifragile Programming and Why AI Won’t Steal Your Job
Whenever I say I dislike debugging and organize my programming habits around avoiding it, there is always pushback: “You must not use a good debugger.” To summarize my view: I want my software to be antifragile (credit to Nassim Taleb for the concept). The longer I work on a codebase, the easier it should become … Continue reading Antifragile Programming and Why AI Won’t Steal Your Job

When #teaching #Rstats / #statistics courses, I (and several colleagues of mine) made the experience that it is indeed pretty hard for a lot of students to cope with the file system on their computer. They have questions like: How do I know the "path" of a file? How do I control in which directory something is saved? WHY DO I NEED THIS?!?
I don't want to make fun of these students because I know that this could be because operating systems are increasingly obscuring file/directory systems from their users.
But if I want to teach students to use a scripting/ #programming language independently, that's a real problem!
So my questions to you are: Do you have the same impression when teaching? And if so: How do you deal with this from a teaching perspective? To be honest, I don't want to use precious course time to teach the absolute basics of computers' file systems in the first session(s).
