I am excited to announce that I have finally implemented badge support in GNUStep! This feature, originally introduced by Apple in MacOS 10.5, was not available in GNUstep until now. Previously, GNUMail had to manage three different code paths in order to support different versions of MacOS. However, I was able to update the code […]

Rich Hickey, known for his role in developing the Clojure programming language, has retired from Nubank, leaving behind a remarkable legacy in the tech industry. Despite his retirement, Hickey remains committed to Clojure, with Nubank continuing to sponsor the language’s development. Stuart Halloway will take on the role of primary architect of Datomic, further solidifying […]
Remote work requires a shift in communication methods. Instead of constant, synchronous interactions, remote workers should embrace asynchronous communication which allows for more reflection, research, and synthesis. By taking the time to think and distill ideas before sharing them, the quality and clarity of communication improves, ultimately increasing overall throughput. Choosing the appropriate medium for […]
After a long and successful career in commercial software development, I am announcing my retirement from that field and my new employment at Nubank. While it is a bittersweet decision, I am excited to continue leading the development of Clojure alongside a talented team of developers. We have big plans for the future and I […]
The Hortus Sanitatis is a beautiful encyclopedia about the natural world that was published in 1491. It contains chapters on plants, animals, and precious stones. What sets this book apart is not just its content, but its visual appeal. The Hortus Sanitatis is an incunabulum, a book from the infancy of movable type printing. These […]
The web content consists of a collection of quant riddles, logic puzzles, and lateral puzzles. These puzzles are intended to help with job or university interviews, as well as to train the brain. The difficulty of each puzzle is indicated using a color-code system. The author also mentions that the puzzles are designed to teach […]
arXivLabs is a platform that allows individuals and organizations to collaborate and develop new features for arXiv, a popular repository for scientific papers. This framework is driven by the principles of openness, community, excellence, and user data privacy, and only partners who align with these values are accepted. The goal of arXivLabs is to bring […]
Unicorn is a magical full-stack framework for Django that allows developers to quickly add modern site functionality without the need to learn a new templating language or deal with complex JavaScript build tools. With Unicorn, developers can create feature-rich components using regular Django templates and Python classes. The framework enhances the initial render of components […]
A group of hackers has uncovered a vulnerability in Tesla’s software that allows users to unlock software-locked features worth up to $15,000. These features, such as heated seats and Tesla’s Full Self-Driving package, are normally activated by paying or subscribing to a service. Tesla has been at the forefront of offering software-locked features, allowing owners […]
“Magic123” is a groundbreaking solution for generating high-quality, textured 3D meshes from a single unposed image. This innovative approach utilizes both 2D and 3D priors in a two-stage coarse-to-fine process. In the first stage, a neural radiance field is optimized to create a coarse geometry. Then, a memory-efficient differentiable mesh representation is used in the […]
