Debugging Java with JNI on HPC machine

If you have worked on CLI based machines, where there is no way of running GUI debugger (e.g. TotalView) you probably know the struggle of debugging JNI based code.

Data backups – dedicated solution vs. home made server

Some years ago (~10) I was puzzled by the choice between dedicated backup machine (something like one describe here: QNAP TS-231P – rok i trzy fackupy później (na szczęście z happy endem)) vs. my own setup.

Blade Runner

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. SVN repos so big they didn’t fit on SSD. I watched spaces glitter among the dark tabs of Python. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to code using new hype.

macOS – remember to check hard drives for errors
