Codepope's Development Hell


Because development is hell, but it's my hell.

Rebooting Codescaling - Keyboard Kickoff

I’ve not been blogging much here, but thats going to change. Fresh lick of theme, and… we’re off. First up, this Ortho-linear keyboard from OLKB. I have a distinct keyboard fetish and I don’t think it’ll be every satisfied. Always looking for something different and this OLKB Plank kit seems to have tickled every spot. The Ortho-linear layout puts everything on a grid, and has no proven benefits but it does feel nice to type on in terms of finger positioning.

A little late but here's last week's news...

Friday’s news, still fresh… read it over at Compose Articles (or here and below in the archive). Fresh MongoDB and PostgreSQL development versions on the road to production, MariaDB’s TX does Oracle and more. Enjoy. A first release candidate for MongoDB 4.0. PostgreSQL 11 enters beta. Locking up? PostgreSQL and MySQL locks. MariaDB TX goes for Oracle enterprises. Database down time at Wikipedia. Containerd’s Kubernetes integration goes GA. Bash Bash now with Bash Alpha 5.

That Friday Feeling

It’s Friday and here’s the new NewsBits with database updates galore, malware in dependencies, a new DB based on MySQL, the latest Rust and Sublime Text and mmm… CloudEvents (not a conference (not yet at least)). Updates for PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, etcd and Scylla. “Cloud native” MySQL-based RadonDB appears. CloudEvents to bring serverless systems together. Looking to be big in enterprises - Firefox 60. Python and Node malware in dependencies. Ligatures and HiDPI support in Sublime Text.

This Friday's Bits....

Did that NewsBits Thing so you can read about TiDB, a database in PHP, Code’s latest update and Rowhammer in your pocket. Welcome to NewsBits where you’ll find the database, security, and developer news from around the net for the week ending May 4th 2018: TiDB gets to version 2.0. An update comes to MariaDB 10.0. FoundationDB’s progress report is in. PHP fans may want a SleekDB. Lnav is ideal for every log.

ESP32s and Python and more

An edifying weekend saw me looking at a whole load of ESP32 based boards - The WiPy 2.0, the Sparkfun ESP32 Thing and the Huzzah32… and in turn a whole set of MicroPython variants… MicroPython is a shrunk down Python 3 for embedded devices and it can fit in some pretty small spaces - there’s a version for the MicroBit even. Anyway, I wanted to find out if I could do a particular projects proof of concept using MicroPython.
