Bun 1.0 is out of the oven! And it’s a big deal, because there wasn’t much happening in terms of performance or innovation in the recent years with NodeJS. Sure we have Deno, but who is really using Deno? Also Bun tries to combine various tools into one tool, helping out the developers a lot.

I would like to share a nice ‘secret’. I want to introduce you to the Starship prompt! This is a getting started guide for Starship. I’m using Starship every day.

Starship Prompt, not to be confused with the Starship from SpaceX 😆, is a cross-shell prompt written in Rust. The prompt works in any common shell you may already use under GNU/Linux, like Bash.

GitLab is an awesome product. I’m using GitLab Community Edition (FOSS) at home on a daily basis.

However, I needed a specific feature in GitLab called Pull from a remote repository which is officially a premium feature only. Too bad this feature is not free, but I have a solution.
This sync feature allows you to keep for example your forked repository in sync with a remote upstream repository.

I would like to talk about artificial intelligence (AI), GPT-3 to be specific. Has been a while since I posted an article, but I noticed an urge to write about GPT-3 🙂. Without further ado, let’s get into what GPT-3 is. And why this is such an important topic to discuss.

Recently I found the benefits of using git hooks. I want you explain in this article more about git hooks. What are git hooks in the first place? What for hooks are there? (no I’m not talking about a fish hook). And how to use git hooks in combination in my favorite open-source git server: GitLab.

Git hooks

Developers who running PHP-enabled websites such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento or even PHP frameworks like Laravel and Symfony should know about the new major PHP version. As a developer you should think about switching to PHP7. I will talk about the how-to use it, some history, the benefits of PHP7 and finally how to get PHP7 on your system.
And uhm… what about PHP version 6?

Usage

About about 98% of the websites are still using PHP version 5.*.  PHP 5 is now more than 11 years old, so it’s time to move to PHP 7 and clean up obsolete functions. The PHP project has a list of deleted functions, which helps you porting PHP 5 to PHP 7 code. And list of removed APIs & extensions.

I always like to debate and dream about new technologies and the future. Which is sometimes  sci-fi, but most of the sci-fi becomes reality. I would like to share some of my (crazy?) predictions and technologies I think become truth and fully accepted within several years from now.

Onder cross-compiling wordt verstaan dat je code bouwt (compileert) op een computer, wat eigenlijk bedoeld is voor een ander platform. Zo is het mogelijk dat je onder Windows een uitvoerbaar bestand kunt compileren voor Linux of Android.

In deze tutorial leg ik uit hoe je de Raspberry Pi kunt opzetten / configureren met de Camera Module. Deze module is niet standaard inbegrepen bij aanschaf van de Raspberry Pi.

Ik leg ook uit welke software je het beste kunt gebruiken voor het detecteren van beweging. Verder bespreek ik stap voor stap hoe je het beste je netwerk kunt configureren. Ik sluit af met een lijstje met handige commando’s die je zeker gaan helpen tijdens het project.

Kortom, een mooi projectje voor in het weekend! 🙂

In Python (een programmeertaal) kun je soms tegen rare dingen aan lopen, soms verwacht je niet altijd wat je krijgt (hoewel het achteraf altijd wel uit te leggen is). Dit geld overigens voor alle programmeertalen op de wereld. 😉
