I've been happy with my 2016 HTPC , but the situation has changed, largely because of something I mentioned in passing back in November: The Xbox One and PS4 are effectively plain old PCs , built on: Intel Atom class (aka slow) AMD 8-core x86 CPU. 8 GB RAM. AMD Radeon 77xx / 78xx GPUs. cheap commodity 512GB or 1TB hard drives (not SSDs). The golden age of x86 gaming is well upon us.

I’ve been trying to learn Clojure. I keep telling people I meet that I really want to learn Clojure, but still every night I can’t get myself to spend time with it.

In a nutshell, declarative programming consists of instructing a program on what needs to be done, instead of telling it how to do it. This approach involves providing a domain-specific language (DSL) for expressing what the user wants. This DSL shields users from messy low-level constructs while still achieving the desired end-state. While declarative programming offers advantages over the imperative approach it replaces, it’s not as straightforward as it may seem.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

This is another installment of excerpts from my book manuscript of “More Human: A Journey To The Heart Of Great Leadership”. This excerpt tells two very contrasting stories about a job of leadership that is never, ever, easy – having to let people go. There’s an easy and expedient way, one without context or heart, and a more human way, that requires forethought, empathy, and intestinal fortitude.

It happens all the time. Leaders assign responsibility for implementing change, and then expect that you’ll take care of it without much involvement from them. Or they approve your project without doing much to support it after that. Because you’re driving everything forward, you end up being seen as the person who is leading the change, with leaders being observers and participants.

Unity is an excellent and straightforward tool to use for multi-platform development. Its principles are easy to understand, so programmers can start developing new products quickly and intuitively. However, if developers do not keep some important things in mind, development can slow down at crucial points, including when the project moves away from initial prototype or is approaching final release.
