Mapping the interaction between particles is a common problem in Physics, but it can be hard to visualize . D3 is a tool that can help solve this issue by simulating particles in a simple way. Here’s how D3 works. The Physics behind D3 D3 (Data-Driven Documents) is a JavaScript library for visualizing data using […]

It’s almost impossible to avoid bugs when developing software, but there are ways to decrease the likelihood of them happening. GitLab includes tools that make software development easier by constantly checking the code and ensuring that everything goes smoothly fine. Here’s how to achieve a good workflow with GitLab.

There has been a lot of fuzz in recent years about functional programming. You might be interested but it can be hard to apply it to your everyday work. This post aims to give you a cheatsheet with functional concepts and techniques used in the .NET framework. Arrow Notation Arrow notations are the preferred syntax […]

When you collaborate in an open source project it is likely to be asked to make a fork of one repository. A fork is a copy of the project in your GitHub account. This duplicate allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.

There is a problem when you fork a project, it is not going to have the last changes made in the original one, so in order to avoid problems when you try to push your changes it is better to keep your fork up to date.

Coaching is fun and satisfying for me. I’ve learned that young engineers learn better by doing.

I wanted to illustrate the difference between Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection. Writing a minimal container turned out to be a great way to illustrate these concepts.

I was amazed as to how “natural” the whole thing turned out to be.

Python uses peephole optimization of your code by either pre-calculating constant expressions or transforming certain data structures.

This kind of optimization is really interesting because it’s something that happens underneath your code. You would normally not even know that all this stuff is happening.

Why is this done?

Not many people have heard of Intering in Python. You might be one them. If so, you are not alone.

Intering is the way Python optimizes the memory used in Python. It does this by sharing the reference to common literals, numeric or string, used by more than one variable.

Let’s dig a bit deeper.
