Love OpenSCAD! Here’s a little library for generating “toy brick” compatible models for a 3D printer. Also written to be a follow along example to help understand how to think about writing OpenSCAD programs. https://github.com&#

Bob was crazy. In the best way. In the early 2000s, I first encountered Bob through the Java open source community. He had a knack of being able to go deep on a tough problem and emerge with a wonderfully elegant solution. This was a time w

A very tiny shell script: https://github.com/joewalnes/go-getter Like go get, but you specify exact versions, including transitive dependencies. One GOPATH per project. And most importantly, you don't have to use

Dave thanks for doing this. Not just for building the tool but for a very well thought out and convincing presentation. I'm completely with you. My own solution has similar ideals (per project versioned deps) though a different solutio

Very slick! Love seeing Python built games like this. Well done, sir.

Codehaus was the birthplace of many Java open-source projects last decade. Enterprise Java was becoming mainstream, but the open-source community saw that it had much more potential than the tools provided by Sun. Codehaus provides project

Yes, I often have 10K plus processes running on a production server. It's caused troubles at time due to misbehaving processes, but mostly it's been ok. Linux is surprisingly good at this (wasn't always the case). For the tim

websocketd treats each line as a message. i.e. boundaries are marked with \n
21.
by joewalnes 12y ago
Yep. The only magic thing is a line break (e.g. \n) is used to terminate each message.

Didn't use any templates or frameworks (apart from font-awesome for icons and prism for syntax highlighting the code examples). Just some good old fashioned hand written HTML + CSS. https://github.com/joewalnes/web

That indeed was a dilemma. Although it focusses on doing one thing well, there were also a few core things that are useful to support a websocket based app - namely a place to serve the actual web content from (static) and the ability to us

It allows you to write a WebSocket end point, in any programming language, without having to deal with building socket servers, dealing with WebSocket protocol handshake/parsing/formatting/etc, worrying about threading etc. J

I've built chatrooms with websocketd. To do this, you a shared pub/sub store. Redis is great, so is Postgres (with its pub/sub add-ons). Storing chat data in a store is more durable than keeping it in memory on a single machi

CGI fell out of favor for this reason, but WebSockets have a different runtime profile: instead of having to deal with 10K shortlived requests per second, WebSocket endpoints have much fewer but longer lived connections. This is why the CGI
