Preface This is a tale of the intersection between thermal physics, cosmology, and a tiny amount of computer science to answer a seemingly innocuous question: “How strong does a password need to be for it to be physically impossible to brute-force, ever?” TLDR at the bottom. Note: this post contains equations. Since none of the equations were long or complex, I decided to just write them out in code blocks instead of using images ....

MP² quantile estimator: estimating the moving median without storing values

In one of the previous posts, I described the P² quantile estimator. It allows estimating quantiles on a stream of numbers without storing them. Such sequential (streaming/online) quantile estimators are useful in software telemetry because they help to evaluate the median and other distribution quantiles without a noticeable memory footprint. After the publication, I got a lot of questions about moving sequential quantile estimators.....

The First 90 Days” by Michael D. Watkins is a book on leadership transition that I had delivered to me from my new manager at the role I just took on at a new company. I read the book ahead of starting last month but finally got around to sitting down and writing out my summary. The book provides a comprehensive framework for making a successful transition, with practical advice and tips that are applicable to any industry or organization.

Soy un usuario promedio: ¿Que app debería usar? Ideal: Signal - porque no recaba datos tuyos y no puede ver tus mensajes es lo mas seguro. Expertos en computacion pueden ver directamente el código que usa (github.com/signalapp) por lo que sabemos que es seguro. Tambien es el que usan periodistas y gente de wikileaks que necesita tener su información segura. Mejor: Whatsapp - Mientras que Whatsapp va a compartir a Facebook con quien te estas..

Background : I decided I should get a small portable boombox to practice my dope dance moves . I currently still suck because I think I spend more time computering than out on the floor.

GNU Stow is a tool from the GNU Project presenting itself as a symbolic link manager. As a reminder, a symbolic link is a shortcut to a file stored elsewhere on the disk. Thus, reading or writing a symbolic link will redirect to the original file. On the other hand, deleting the symbolic link does not delete the original file. Stow allows you to better manage the numerous configuration files present in Linux by creating symbolic lin..

You sent me a Word doc on Wed 18 Mar 2020. Inside the doc was a copy/paste of a very large slack conversation. Inside the conversation was the complete contents of our production incidents channel on the morning of Mon 16 Mar. I glanced at the document, but was busy - our systems were straining and crashing because COVID-19 had erupted and US schools had closed, and teachers turned to Remind at scales we had never seen. Teachers have r....

Vniknutí "protestujících republikánů" do Kapitolu je falešná vlajka, divadelní inscenace s krizovými herci, zorganizovaná Deep State, s pomocí Antify. Deep State se svou inscenací "násilného proniknutí Trumpových příznivců do Kapitolu" uspěl, akce znamená zřejmě na nějakou dobu konec nadějí Trumpa a vlasteneckého hnutí MAGA (Making America Great Again), i když přívrženců má milióny a určitě se jen tak nevzdá...

If you’re familiar with the Rails ecosystem, the names Devise and OmniAuth might ring a bell: the former is a gem that handles (nearly) everything related to authentication; coupled with the latter, it makes implementing popular Social Login providers (e.g. Login with Facebook, or Twitter, or GitHub…) a breeze.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocu..

Today’s post comes from a recent Go pop quiz. Consider this benchmark fragment. A convenience wrapper around sort.Sort(sort.StringSlice(s)), sort.Strings sorts the input in place, so it isn’t expected to allocate (or at least that’s what 43% of the tweeps who responded thought). However it turns out that, at least in recent versions of Go, each […]

It has been such a long year. I like being by myself. For the most part I’ve enjoyed hiding away in my little apartment, getting groceries delivered, working from home. I don’t really need a lot of human interaction. But by this point even I have gotten pangs of wanting to go to the city and sit in my favorite coffee shop, or just window shopping, or being able to go to a restaurant or stroll through Gamla Stan. Most of all I’ve missed be..
