HPC support engineer in Okinawa, Japan. Former neuroscientist, former programmer.
Photography, recreational programming and playing the sanshin are things I do.
Sweden, Osaka and Okinawa are places I particularly care about.
An old friend of mine has found a new, very excited owner.
I love using analog oscilloscopes. The controls are all physical and all right there. But. It is big and heavy and takes up a lot of space - even this one which is smaller than many.
Maybe it's time to get a cheap digital one eventually. Once I clean up and reorganize I'll give it some thought.
I'm one day in on learning Go lang and I can already sense that my least favourite language feature is the use of backticks " ` " for string literals.
One reason: backtick is a dead key on my language layout. I have to press shift+`+` to get one.
Another reason: If I miss hitting it twice, then press a letter, I get something like Èrror` when I meant `Error`. Easy to miss.
Third reason: with my crappy eyes, the difference between ` and ' is barely visible.
