The other day, I noted that the emacs integration with debputy stopped working. After debugging for a while, I realized that emacs no longer sent the didOpen notification that is expected of it, which confused debputy. At this point, I was already several hours into the debugging and I noted there was some discussio...

The event took place on February 1st and 2nd, as always at the ULB campus in Brussels. We arrived on Friday at lunchtime and went straight to the hotel to drop off our bag...

In case you haven't noticed, I'm trying to post and one of the things that entails is to just dump over the fence a bunch of draft notes. In this specific case, I had a set of rough notes about NixOS and particularly Nix, the package manager. In this case, you can see the very birth of an article, what it looks like...

I recently used the PuLP modeler to solve a work scheduling problem to assign workers to shifts. Here are notes about doing that. This is a common use case, but isn't explicitly covered in the case studies in the PuLP documentation. The tool is supposed to allocate workers to the shifts to try to cover all the shift...

Welcome to post 46 in the $R^4 series! r2u, introduced less than three years ago in post #37, has become a runaway success.

I’ve been trying to work out what to say now for nearly 2 months (writing the mail to -private to tell the Debian project about his death is one of the hardest things I’ve had to write, and I bottled out and wrote something that was mostly just factual, because it wasn’t th...
