Data centers promise better and cheaper physical security, rented hardware, electricity and connectivity than you can have on-premise, because of the scale on which these companies operate. I think that is often true and that that's is why most companies moved their machines...

A client asked me: How does one scale software to handle 1 million websocket connections? At 1000k connections when every client sends only one message per 30 seconds you have to deal with 33333 websocket messages per second. Dealing with that many requests...

So, maybe your employer want you to use Windows. Obviously you still want to use Linux as you want to run whatever operating system your production servers run. If running Virtualbox or VMWare causes too much switching between environments then WSL...

In the hypothetical case that your employer is so kind to provide you with a MacBook Pro M3 (please don't buy one) you have only one question: How do I run Linux on it? First you want to install Asahi Linux, but then you find out that the M3 is not supported. Now what?...

Last month I wrote Minesweeper written in Go using Fyne. It was a port of the Ebiten game engine implementation to desktop using the Fyne GUI library. During the implementation I ran into 3 problems that I eventually solved. In this post I'll explain...
