Where did my segfault go?

The other day I was iterating on a small C program with entr:

Strive to be boring

Like every software engineer, I am funneling my inner woodworker. And ever since I started I can’t help but notice that those tools are boring. In the good sense, they get out of the way. When people don’t have to think about what you have built then you have achieved something remarkable.

Asahi Linux first impressions

After seeing that Asahi had implemented 120Hz refresh rate I knew I had to try it. I got a refurbished M1 Pro and I must say from someone who never owned a Mac, the installation process was fairly straightforward. First thing I tried was installing Cosmic Desktop (I am a tiling guy). Unfortunately, that didn’t work. It turns out I had to update Asahi first. Now it’s installed, but you know what?…

Flashing a Jetson without SDK Manager on Fedora

It seems like Stevey was right

Connect to a server behind a NAT using mosh

I wanted to access my server which is behind a NAT, but with the default config it was not straightforward to do so.

The fish shell is amazing

I’ve been lurking the fish shell for a couple of years now (and the nushell but it is another story for another time). Not so long ago, I decided to try it, and it’s simply… amazing. If I had to state one feature that makes me like to use it, it’ll be the autocompletion, hands down. It’s the first time I just take a shell and without customization it’s pleasing to use.

Thoughts on how to find remote work in Cameroon

Remote work is the new norm there has never been a time like this, where as a SE you can make more than a decent living. This isn’t a know-it-all kind of post, I just wanted to write a bit about my experience, but it’s way too long (6 months+) so I will just share what worked and not for me. Before I forget, this is mainly for people like me doing computer science for the sake of doing it. Not…

Comment être plus productif sans se forcer ?

Ceci est une traduction de l’article How to be productive without forcing yourself donc (il y’a certainement) des choses qui ont été perdues lors de la traduction.
