In this post, we will explore how to build a productive C++ development environment around CMake, clangd, lldb, and AstroNvim. The focus here is not on collecting more tools, but on making multiple tools share one consistent understanding of the same project so that build, edit, and debug behavior remain predictable.
Python packaging has long been shaped by a fragmented ecosystem of loosely connected tools—linters, formatters, build systems, and release workflows—each solving a piece of the problem but rarely forming a coherent whole. Recent developments, particularly the rise of tools like Ruff and the standardization around pyproject.toml, are beginning to change this landscape. This article presents a practical, end-to-end approach to designing a production-ready Python package, covering project structure, modern tooling choices, and CI/CD automation, with an emphasis on clarity, consistency, and maintainability.
The most exciting part after getting a new machine is configuration! In this post, I will share my configuration of Windows Terminal with PowerShell, focusing on the appearance settings, package management tools, command-line tools, and editor settings. I will walk you through the process of setting up a beautiful and functional terminal experience on Windows, which will greatly enhance your productivity and coding experience.
Hotkeys are indispensable for enhancing user experience in Windows desktop applications. They enable users to quickly access features, trigger actions, or interact with specific controls using keyboard combinations. In this post, we examine the technical classification of hotkeys within the Windows environment and explore the underlying implementation mechanisms, with a comparative look at how native Win32 APIs and the Qt framework handle these operations.
Coalitional games are a type of game theoretical model that study scenarios where agents can reap mutual benefits from cooperation. In such games, a coalition is a group of agents that work together and obtain a payoff for their collective effort. The agents are considered “cooperative” since cooperation yields them more payoffs than non-cooperation. This post discusses on coalition in Lecture 11 in the SC4003 course in NTU. See details below!
