Almost every video starts out describing what docker is. It’s like you must know the relationship to virtual machines in order for docker to be useful. Now I’ve used VMs many times, even way before Linux, and the comparison is interesting once or twice. But honestly docker is cool and useful without knowing anything about …

SQLite 3.37

My noob distro…Linux Mint!
Currently a few of the things I do or have recently done on my noob distro. Programming languages, learn or work with Julia, Python, Lazarus/Pascal (rapid GUI applications), Go, a little JavaScript/node.js. even COBOL locally or on an emulated IBM mainframe. Also maintain my website, make/edit videos with kdenlive, edit photos with Gimp. Database stuff …
Docker…again!
Installed CE (community edition) and following a short docker YouTube tutorial. Followed this install guide. Docker is something I should have really concentrated on years ago. I know it has tremendous possibilities. Today perhaps not so much docker as container technology in general. I did do a few things with it starting in 2016. I …
Installed MongoDB
Just wanted to try it out. I know it’s been a thing for a while. Better late than never. Personally, off the top of my head I can’t think of a use for it. Plus it requires a server. So far, for my uses SQLite works great. I don’t have the data to be concerned …
Running Go source outside GOPATH

I guess it takes into account the directory …
Go import hang?
So I returned to Go and ran a very simple SQLite program that was working. And it hung. No messages, a simple print at the beginning of main didn’t print. I stripped everything out and found it was hanging on the sqlite3 import. I noticed I wasn’t online so got back online…reran and after a …
No to Julia…yes to Go
I think for now I won’t continue with Julia, and instead focus on Go. SQLite is too important for my personal projects and that package in Julia is still painfully slow. I think if you wanted to just manipulate text files then Julia is great. Also for data science Julia may be better. However once …
Adam current directory in Julia
Julia from the terminal assumes your current directory is the one you’re in. But within Atom it assumes your home directory is the current directory. So things that run fine in the terminal don’t run the same if you don’t specify a path. So I found I can specify the current working directory like so… …
