Immersive Development — Living in the Clojure REPL
Flow Anyone who has coded long enough has likely experienced what is commonly called flow , a state of intense focus, in which one is fully immersed in an activity. Being in a state of flow, one becomes more productive 1 , ideas become clearer, and good, elegant solutions to complex problems tend to come easily. Unfortunately, interruptions and changes of context can break this state of deep…

From QoS Distributions to QoE Distributions: A Systems Perspective
From QoS Distributions to QoE Distributions: a System's Perspective
String Similarity Made Easy
The setting For a few years now I've had an itch to scratch, namely, finding a nice way of keeping a normalized bibliographic database to use with LaTeX 1 . BibTeX unfortunately lends itself to a lot of variability in how entries are stored, and in my experience, it's always been slightly painful to work with, especially when collaborating with other authors. Very often entries are incomplete, or…
WebGL, React, and no JavaScript
Web-dev & Me: a non-story As much as I enjoy programming, and also spending (arguably too much) time on the web, I've never really got into web development. I think part of the reason is that I associate it with JavaScript, which I just can't force myself to like, and all its associated tooling, which is monstrously complex. So, except for tiny bits of js (typically some jQuery thing, and a couple…
On System QoE: Merging the system and the QoE perspectives
Coming Full Circle
In the Beginning... QoE sits at a confluence point between several disciplines, and one of those is QoS. Back when I started working on these topics, 'QoE' was not a thing, we (networking people) would talk about 'QoS from the user's perspective', or similar kludgy terms, for lack of a proper one. The underlying concept, however, was clear: how does QoS in the network affect the user's perception…
