From our friends at Futility Closet:Here are a penny and a quarter. Make a statement. If your statement is true, then I’ll give you one of these coins (not saying which). But if your statement is false, then I won’t give you either coin.Raymond Smullyan says, “There is a statement you can make such that I would have no choice but to give you the quarter (assuming I keep my word).” What statement will accomplish that?Answer is here.

Abstraction: Introduction
Finally, several posts in, I'm actually going to start talking about abstraction using DigiMixer as the core example. When I started writing DigiMixer (almost exactly two years ago) I didn't expect to take so long to get to this point. Even now, I'm not expecting this post to cover everything about abstraction" or even all ... Continue reading Abstraction: Introduction
No, the bug is in your code (and mine)
It's entirely possible that I've posted something on this topic before. I know I've posted about it on social media before.

When Abstractions Break
When I wrote my preview DigiMixer post, I was awaiting the arrival of my latest mixer: a Behringer Wing Rack. It arrived a few days later, and I'm pleased to say it didn't take long to integrate it with DigiMixer. (It's now my main mixer.) While most of the integration was smooth sailing, there's one ...

Election 2029: An Impossible Exception
I really thought I'd already written a first blog post about my Election 2029 site (https://election2029.uk) but I appear to be further behind on my blogging than I'd thought. This is therefore a little odd first post in the series, but never mind. To some extent it isn't particularly related to the election site, except ...

Election 2029: The Impossible Exception – Solved
Shortly after writing my previous post, a colleague pinged me to say she'd figured out what was wrong - at least at the most immediate level, i.e. the exception itself. Nothing is wrong with the ordering code - it's just that the exception message is too easy to misread. She's absolutely right, and I'm kicking ...

Election 2029: Introduction
Introduction It's been over 8 months since I started my UK Election 2029 site, and high time that I actually wrote an introduction post so that I can get into more detailed topics later. In 2024, shortly after the UK general election was announced, I created a small site at https://jonskeet.uk/election2024, initially to keep track ... Continue reading Election 2029: Introduction

There's nothing particularly remarkable here, but it's useful to get the plain facts out of the way before we get into genuinely interesting design aspects. Just as a reminder, go to https://election2029.uk if you want to see what any of this looks like at the moment. ... Continue reading Election 2029: Technical overview
Election 2029: Data Models
Data models (and view-models) and how they're used I was considering using the term architecture" somewhere in the title of this post, but it feels too pompous for the scale of site. I could probably justify it, but it would give me the ick every time I used the term. But this post will basically ... Continue reading Election 2029: Data Models
