Rust's type system enables "correct by construction" design, however there are limitations to how data can be constructed at compile time. Here we go over the four approaches to static data initialization and their respective pros and cons.
Our research lab, the FNNDSC, directs international collaborations on pediatric neuroimaging research. The data sharing platform for this research is ChRIS. We have implemented a solution for sharing DICOM data between "peer" instances of ChRIS using Orthanc, an open-source DICOM server. Here we describe our deployment of Orthanc on Red Hat OpenShift and other open-source contributions we would like to share with the Orthanc community.
This is part 2 of my investigation into tooling for Preact in 2025.
In summary, Preact component testing is easy and works using vitest or bun.
However, the only way to get preact/compat to work seamlessly is using
vitest-browser-preact,
which has other advantages too but at the cost of performance and stability.
Web development evolves rapidly. Not only do we have new JS frameworks, but new toolchains as well, such as Deno, Bun, and Farm.
This blog summarizes the history of React.js and the motivation to replace it. It also mentions Bun and Farm as new and exciting alternatives to using Vite for React development.
chrisomatic is a tool for repeatable and declarative setup of the ChRIS backend (CUBE)
for the purpose of automatic testing and demos. Version 2 of chrisomatic was redesigned
and rewritten in Rust for practical reasons and fun.
Orthanc is an open-source
PACS
server written in C++ with an extensive interface for plugin development.
Here we announce orthanc_sdk, a
library for developing Orthanc plugins in safe and
idiomatic Rust.
This article explains why Rust is a good language for Orthanc plugin development
and the design of the orthanc_sdk crate.
Sometimes, you come across an edge case in production that is just not feasible to reproduce in a development environment. Or, it's more convenient to forego best practices and debug against the real user data.
Debugging in production is a bad practice, furthermore a Kubernetes environment can make things even harder. But for whatever reason, sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Here are some tips on how to debug a Django application in production on Kubernetes.
