Java Bitwise

Bitwise operations are faster and secure. Highly used in Security/Encryption,  Finite State Machines, Graphics, Comunication over ports/sockets, and Bit Fields. Java has support for: AND, OR, Complement, Signed/Unsigned Right Shift, Signed Left Shift. Java does not have Unsigned Left Shift. Today I want to share a simple POC showing all these operations and understanding them in detail. So Let's get started!

Cool Retro Terminal

Image
I often don't blog about this kind of stuff. Yesterday I friend of mine showed me this awesome project called  cool-retro-term . When you work with Cloud Computing and DevOps Engineering you spend lots of time on the black screen testing things on the cloud.  When I saw this project I got very excited because it brings some nostalgy back to my life. To be 100% clearI'm not that old as my friend :-) However I share his joy into this retro terminals. This also reminds me some old games like Fallout 1 . I just this is pure fun so I'm sharing here with you guys some screenshots and also how to run on Gnome Ubuntu 17.04.

GIT based wiki with Gollum

Image
We all need information. There are some many things we need to remember on a standard DevOps project. There are multiple things that we can forget pretty easy. I know so many teams that really only on Slack to track information and that is a big problem. IMHO no one wants complex and heavyweight tools to track information. Developers want simple, easy and pain-free tools like wikis. The problem with most of the wiki tools is that they are heavy and complex to manage. IMHO for small and medium projects we a better solution. I love Git and I love GitHub. GIT has some many nice properties like Easy to audit, easy to merge, we never lot updates, we know everything that happened, we can get back in time pretty easy. For those reasons I really like GIT based Wikies like Gollum . Gollum is built with Ruby and has a nice and clean UI. Using Gollum UI - Gollum translates all the changes into git commands and make commits for us. When we run Gollum, it takes care of everything - the only thing...

Having fun with Zig Language

Image
Zig is a general-purpose language created in 2016 by Andrew Kelly .  Zig aims to fix the issues C language has while being pragmatic and simple at the same time. Zig really shines as being simple by not having any hidden control flows, not having hidden memory allocations, no pre-processors, and no macros. Basically, it's one language and one language only. Since pre-processors and macros can get really complex and become their own universe. Sure it's not the Zig Philosophy.  Zig Compiler(Zig cc) also is a C compiler, and the interoperability from C to Zig is very good. Clearly, we can see influence from other languages like Go and Rust; however, Zig is pretty unique and different from Go and Rust.  Zig is fast. Zig is perfect for system programming. I bet we will see a lot of solutions being built in Zig. As a languages aficionado, I like to learn at least one language per year and sometimes more; Zig was my 2021 pick, did not regret it. Even if you dont use all language...
