It just happened to me that at my current workplace, Process Street, I had to fix a bug in our iOS application. But… I’d like to do this on a Linux box, and not on a MacBook. What to do in this case? Let’s run macOS inside a virtual machine! Prerequisites CPU virtualization Your CPU… Continue reading Running macOS inside Linux with Docker-OSX
This site is now opted out of Google FLoC
Google is rolling out Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) in Chrome browsers – which is more than 60% of all browsers worldwide, based on page visits. I never used Chrome and am an avid Firefox user, but this is important for every Web user and the Web as the whole. What is FLoC? Basically, third-party… Continue reading This site is now opted out of Google FLoC

How software emerged As a reference, I have a ‘mechatronics engineering’ MSc, which is mostly a mix of electronics and mechanincal engineering. These classic engineering fields are called ‘engineering disciplines’. Mechanical (and also civil)… Continue reading Does ‘software engineering’ even exist?
Self-taught software engineering: Coursera & co.
I really enjoy Coursera courses and have been doing them since I have been doing software engineering. It’s a great way to broaden my knowledge since I’ve never received formal computer science or software engineering education. Just a quick update: I added a list of what I have completed to the About page. Not really… Continue reading Self-taught software engineering: Coursera & co.

Stress testing for “Data Structures and Algorithms” courses – Java & Python
I am doing the Data Structures And algorithms specialization on Coursera. (Which means every now and then I pick it up and make a few weeks of progress…) Started out with Python and now I’m switching to Java. In this post I’ll show you how to set up stress testing, by generating random input data… Continue reading Stress testing for “Data Structures and Algorithms” courses – Java & Python
