Photo Club Hub HTML
I started work on a MacOS app that is a companion to the Photo Club Hub app for iOS. It generates static web pages with members of photo clubs. Both apps read the same JSON data. See the README on Github.

We could explain this technology with a concise explanation such as ”Latent Diffusion Models (LDM) use machine learning to iteratively remove deliberately added noise”. Or we could try to summarise the University of Nottingham’s YouTube video (which is in itself a summary of research papers). But let us try to add value by explaining this…
Git-Crypt
Git, Linus Torvald’s version control system, is pretty unescapable nowadays. I methodically installed Git in a basic Xcode Swift project, along with Git-Crypt. The latter allows you to encrypt certain of the files that you published using Git. Publishing source code while encrypting a file or two may sound like a strange combination. But it…
Dockerized WordPress with LEMP

This is sometimes known as LAMP: Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP. Or LEMP: Linux, (E)nginx, MySQL, PHP. All this is trivial if the hosting provider handles the details. And is still relatively doable…

The horizontal axis is weeks, the vertical axis is within the week (Sunday is the top row). The intensity shows how many “contributions” they made to any public repository on Github. The color scales…

Strict concurrency checking in Swift 5.x and 6.0
Swift 6 aims to detect many concurrency issues at compile time. Fixing these new warnings and errors at compile time should prevent so-called “data-races” from showing up as intermittent run-time errors. This goal is important and even urgent because software developers are increasingly relying on concurrency to utilise multi-core processors and to perform slow tasks…
