Un lenguaje informático no es más que un conjunto de instrucciones que introducimos en una máquina para que esta opere permitiéndonos así desarrollar programas. De este modo, las distintas formas en que combinamos dichas instrucciones dan lugar a los diferentes estilos y escuelas responsables de lo que podemos denominar ‘la estética de la programación‘. Esa estética, según las reglas a las que responda, se puede clasificar a su vez en cuatro grandes grupos que tradicionalmente, como muchas corrientes artísticas, han coexistido de forma simultánea… ...

Volvemos a la crónica tecnológica de Mr. Robot con el análisis del sexto capítulo de la segunda temporada. El inicio nos dejó bastante descolocados a casi todos los seguidores de la serie, especialmente por el cambio de registro. No vamos a entrar en detalles puesto que es una sorpresa que merece que cada uno vea libre de spoilers pero, personalmente, creo que es de lo mejor que se ha hecho en televisión en los últimos años. ...

A ”reverse debugger” is a debugger where you can go forward and backward in time. It is an uncommon feature, at least in the open source world, but I have no idea why. I have used undodb-gdb and rr, which are reverse debuggers for C code, and I can only say that they saved me many, many days of poking around blindly in gdb. The PyPy team is pleased to give you ”RevPDB”, a reverse-debugger similar to rr but for Python. ...

So I setup a benchmark, which can be found here to compare Python datetime, Arrow, Pendulum, Delorean and udatetime on a performance level. I picked 4 typical performance critical operations to measure the speed of those libraries.

Al, like a lot of you out there, thinks that he “knows how to use vi”. I’m here to tell you that he doesn’t. And unless you’ve spent the last few years alone in a cave high in the Himalayas, with only food, drink, a laptop, and Vim Golf, you probably don’t either. Heck, I don’t consider myself a Vim master, but I’m going to write this overwrought essay praising it (using Vim, naturally). ...

A while back I was researching the most efficient way to check if a number is prime. This lead me to find the following piece of code: public static boolean isPrime(int n) { return !new String(new char[n]).matches(”.?|(..+?)\\1+”); } I was intrigued. While this might not be the most efficient way, it’s certainly one of the less obvious ones, so my curiosity kicked in. How on Earth could a match for the .?|(..+?)\1+ regular expression tell that a number is not prime (once it’s converted to its unary representation)? ...
