8pm Tuesday Boston time
#lispyGopherClimate #commonLisp #astrophysics #supercomputing #softwareEngineering Hey everyone, two hours from now on anonradio.net/ we will have a live interview with

as.tufts.edu/physics/people/fa

about the recent largest-ever cosmic string simulation also introducing their new spacetime-volume pseudo-parallel simulation technique, relating to gravitational backreaction.

People sometimes ask, "who uses common lisp today".

Olum learned #lisp from John McCarthy.

"Software engineering has to be one of the very few fields of work where a) it's possible to build something, deploy it and share it with the world from the very start and b) when teaching people how to do it, we don't expect them to do that."

deadSimpleTechWe should rethink how we teach people to code | deadSimpleTechIt's fair to say that the tech industry at the moment is not in a good place. Software engineers tend to be detached, demotivated and unwilling to care much about the work they're doing beyond their paycheck. Code quality is poor on the whole, made worse by the current spate of vibe coding and whatever other febrile ideas come out of Sam Altman's brain. Much of the software that we write is either useless or actively hurts people. And the talented, creative people that we most need in the industry are pushed to the margins of it.

Compose & Android Deep Dive Package (Jetpack Compose internals + Manifest Android Interview) leanpub.com/b/android-deep-div by Jaewoong and Jorge Castillo is the featured bundle of ebooks 📚 on the Leanpub homepage! leanpub.com #ComputerProgramming #Android #Kotlin #Engineering #Software #SoftwareEngineering #books #ebooks

LeanpubCompose & Android Deep Dive Package (Jetpack Compose internals + Manifest Android Interview)Jetpack Compose internalsThis book explores the guts of Jetpack Compose, the brand new library by Google and the Android team that will become the future of Android UI. Dedicating time now to learn about its internals in-depth will yield powerful skills to write modern and efficient Android apps in the future. If you are interested in other use cases of Jetpack Compose rather than Android, this book has got you covered also. Jetpack Compose internals is very focused on exploring the compiler and runtime from a generic perspective, making the overall experience very agnostic of the target platform. The book also provides a chapter dedicated to diverse use cases for Jetpack Compose, which exposes a few really interesting examples over code. Jetpack Compose and Android are trademarks of Google LLC and this book is not endorsed by or affiliated with Google in any way. Manifest Android InterviewManifest Android Interview is a comprehensive guide designed to enhance your Android development expertise through 108 interview questions with detailed answers, 162 additional practical questions, and 50+ "Pro Tips for Mastery" sections. The interview questions primarily focus on Android development—including the Framework, UI, Jetpack Libraries, and Business Logic—as well as Jetpack Compose, covering Fundamentals, Runtime, and UI. Each question provides in-depth explanations, guiding you through a structured learning path for Android and Jetpack Compose while reinforcing your understanding of key concepts. At the end of every question, you’ll find practical questions designed to simulate real interview scenarios, allowing you to refine your problem-solving skills and prepare effectively for technical discussions. This book includes relevant resources and additional references for those seeking further study beyond its content. Efforts have been made to provide footnotes for key terms as much as possible that may be unfamiliar or complex, ensuring that beginners can easily grasp challenging concepts while deepening their understanding. The "Pro Tips for Mastery" section dives deeper into advanced topics, uncovering internal API structures and offering expert insights to keep senior developers engaged. For mid-level developers, this section serves as a valuable resource for strengthening Android expertise and fostering a more analytical approach to technical challenges. I hope this book helps you gain new perspectives, sharpen your problem-solving skills, and build a comprehensive understanding of Android development & ecosystems. Whether you're preparing for your next big interview or simply pushing yourself to master Android development, I encourage you to think beyond implementation—understand the why, experiment with different approaches, and continue learning with curiosity and passion. — Jaewoong Eum (skydoves) For fun facts, who it's for, what it covers, and what it doesn’t, check out Manifest Android Interview: The Ultimate Guide to Cracking Android Technical Interviews blog post.

"The very thing that makes AI coding tools accessible to non-engineers - their ability to handle complexity on your behalf - can actually impede learning. When code just "appears" without you understanding the underlying principles ...

This creates a dependency where you need to keep going back to AI to fix issues, rather than developing the expertise to handle them yourself."

Go’s simplicity is its superpower.

No frameworks needed to build a high-performance HTTP server in 50 lines. No magic, just clear, maintainable code that compiles to a single binary.

Meanwhile, in other languages… *opens node_modules folder* 😅

Platform engineering is where the magic happens - building the invisible infrastructure that powers everything above.

Go is the perfect sidekick: simple, fast, and concurrent by design. It’s the language that lets you focus on solving hard problems, not fighting the compiler.

Summer's almost over, energy refilled (wishful thinking), so I'd like to return to writing engineering articles. And I am kicking it off with the most explosive topics of all - Singleton design pattern. 💥

Is it really as evil as many people claim it is? Or is there more to it other than being a glorified global variable? Let's find out! 🔎

➤ medium.com/@nerudaj/is-singlet

What are your experiences with the Singleton pattern? What is your stage of "grief" (explained in the article) when it comes to it? Let me know in the comments.
