Another month gone. We’re already about halfway through the year. Amazing. It’s time to write about the books I read last month in May.

A short post on converting this blog (www.davidwparker.com) to SvelteKit; I explain why I converted, and how I did most of the conversion.

Statistical efficiency is a common measure of the quality of an estimator. Typically, it’s expressed via the mean square error ($\operatorname{MSE}$). For the given estimator $T$ and the true parameter value $\theta$, the $\operatorname{MSE}$ can be expressed as follows: $$ \operatorname{MSE}(T) = \operatorname{E}[(T-\theta)^2] $$ In numerical simulations, the $\operatorname{MSE}$ can’t be used as a robust metric because its breakdown poin....

Update: There's a DWIM follow-up for searching . I was a rather puzzled the first time I spotted DWIM in an Emacs interactive command name. Don't think I remember what the command itself was, but what's important here is that DWIM stands for do what I mean . I love DWIM interactive commands. They enable commands to be smarter and thus pack more functionality, without incurring the typical cognitive overhead associated with rememb....

In the past, when I set goals to write more frequently, I was always stopped by not having ideas ready for what to write about. Or when I got one, I didn't have a systematic way of collecting them. I would sit down to write, but getting started on a new piece was too difficult. My ONE thing is make it so that when I sit down to write I have a checklist to work from.

CPU cycles are cheaper than they have ever been, and cloud computing has never been more ubiquitous. All the major cloud providers offer generous free tiers, and services like GitHub Actions offer free compute resources to open-source repositories. So why do so many developers still build software on their laptops? Despite the embarrassment of riches of cheap or even free cloud compute, most projects I know of, and most developers, still do..

I did an AMA on Clubhouse a little while ago and there were a lot of awesome, hard-hitting questions on the panel. So for this last installment, I’m going to write out my thoughts to a the questions and how I answered them. The last question from the panel was:

This is the follow-up to my previous post about Traderino, a bot that trades cryptocurrency futures on Binance and reports his action on Telegram. Jump to the previous article if you want to know more, or keep reading to see what happened during his first week of simulated trading. Timing has been far from perfect […]
