Annotate PDFs on Linux
This post is about a GUI tool called pdfrankestein that
fills a gap on mostly Linux machines where a powerful and easy to use
PDF annotator does not exist.

Adobe Acrobat® on Windows and Mac allow you to add text, drawings and
signatures to PDF documents. This is useful when filling forms or
marking notes to send back to someone. Such a tool with similar
capabilities and easy of use does not exist on Linux. The reason that’s
often cited is that PDF is a c … ⌘ Read more

Docker: Nine Years YOUNG
Nine years ago today, March 15, 2013, Solomon Hykes, the founder of Docker, first demoed Docker publicly to the world at PyCon. On stage Solomon noted that, for developers, “shipping to the server is hard,” and thus he and the early team designed Docker to help developers more easily build, share, and run any app, […]

** What is an addressing mode? **
In a recent post I referenced addressing modes. But what the heck are they!?

The instruction register holds the program instruction that is currently being run.

A fixed number of bits within the instruction register represent the operation, e.g. “op. code” — examples of these instructions include things like add, subtract, load, and store. We can imagine the instruction register like this:

Peter Saint-Andre: Meditations on Bach #9: Musical Monadology
In meditation #7 of this series, I took note of some similarities between the aesthetics of Aristotle and the music of Bach. Another intriguing influence might be the monadology of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716), who directly influenced philosophers and musical theorists in the Bach’s orbit: for instance, Bach’s student Lorenz Mizler (1711-1778) was a follower of the Leibniz scholar Christian Wolff (1679-1754). In chapter 5 of his book Music in the Culture of th … ⌘ Read more

PEP 678: Enriching Exceptions with Notes
Exception objects are typically initialized with a message that describes the

the formatted traceback following the exception string. ⌘ Read more

My colleague Adrienne LaFrance has named the fundamental assumption, and danger, of social media megascale: “not just a very large user base, but a tremendous one, unprecedented in size.” Technology platforms such as Facebook assume that they deserve a user base measured in the billions of people—and then excuse their misdeeds by noting that effectively controlling such an unthinkably la … ⌘ Read more

** Data Types and Variables in C **
I’ve been writing a heap of Lua lately — this has lead to my becoming interested, again, in C. Here are some ancient notes I dug up on the most basics of data types and variables in C.

All of a computer’s memory is comprised of bits. A sequence of 8 bits forms a byte. A group of bytes (typically 4 or 8) form a word. Each word is associated with a memory address. The address increases by 1 with each byte of memory.

In C, a byte is an object that is as big as t … ⌘ Read more
