While I was developing git-repo I stumbled upon a little known feature that has been introduced in git 2.7: the possibility to have a remote with multiple URLs. After the break I’ll tell you what this is about…… ≫
Here’s a common thing we often hear: if you’re doing a task more than once, automize it! Following up on a former article I wrote in french four years ago, where I was showing how simple it was to do my invoices in LaTeX, I have since then built a more generic framework around that. Let’s have a look after the break.… ≫
Recently I have been caught in a troll with a friend who told me he dislikes docopt, and prefers to stick with argparse. Ever since I started using docopt, I love it and see no reason to stop using it. So we’ll see why after the break…… ≫
There are many online platforms offering repository hosting, though they all suck at one thing, it’s to integrate nicely in the flow of coding. Some have a GUI tool, others integrate more or less in your editor (or IDE), and that’s rarely the ones you’re using for your work. After the break, let me show you my take on this, with a little tool I wrote called git-repo……

Here’s a tip that will make C coders yell and cry, but will make C++ coders happy: how to implement C++ stream syntax for Arduino.… ≫
For a project, I’ve been assigned the task to access the ANCS from an AVR using Nordic’s nRF8001. Even though it’s mostly integration work of Apple’s specifications and Nordic’s ones, it end up being way harder to build than expected, and couldn’t have been done without the help of the Nordic’s support team.… ≫
I needed to tweak the bootloader to get a working reboot into bootloader feature. With help from the AVRFreaks community, I thought it’d be a good idea to share my experience working with AVR bootloaders.… ≫
After having used a multitouch input device for some time on OSX, along with Better Touch Tool, I really missed to be able to switch workspaces or tabs using very simple two or three finger gestures. That’s why I got that fixed, and here is KiTT!… ≫
About ten days ago, I decided I should learn Javascript. I used to have a terrible opinion about that language, mostly because all I knew about it was the very bad parts… So I decided to give it a try and work on the JSHint lint to add new language features.… ≫
For a project, I needed to have a simple way to make a central software be able to send commands to several slaves appliances that are on the internets, i.e. they can either be on Internet with a public IP address, or be behind a proxyfied-firewalled private network that can only communicate through port 80. That’s how I came across a W3C working paper about a very simple technology based on HTTP/1.1 long-polling, called EventSource. The full story and real code after the break…… ≫
