I use Vim as a plain text editor for everything. Apart from coding, I write blog posts in vim, create quick notes and draft design documents. Surprisingly, I haven’t customized it a lot and am very lean about the plugins. While keeping my setup austerely simple, I rarely lack any of the functionality. However, recently I wondered if I can achieve a “distraction free” experience with Vim, like when you see a full screen text, nicely centered..

The folks over at Seeking Alpha , one of my new favorite websites, posted an interest writeup on a portfolio that has outperformed the market since October, 2014. Check out the original article here . As I work to eliminate debt and build a nest egg, so that I can then invest and prepare for retirement early , this subject has become ever-more interesting to me. Seeking Alpha — clearly — has some great advice, from some smart people. ..

In many statistical papers, you can find the following phrase: “assuming that we have a normal distribution.” Probably, you saw plots of the normal distribution density function in some statistics textbooks, it looks like this: The normal distribution is a pretty user-friendly mental model when we are trying to interpret the statistical metrics like mean and standard deviation. However, it may also be an insidious and mislea....

A post that is constantly a work in progress. ripgrep - Similar to grep, but a drop in replacement for large file scanning without unicode penalities. It’s also similar to Ag and Ack and optimised for searching code, ignoring .git directories and the like. https://github.com/burntsushi/ripgrep tmux - Terminal multiplexer. I wrote a 5 min guide to this. Use it to have resumable sessions after closing ssh sessions and to have split pane....

I’m writing code to back up my user data off a website that lets me see all of my info (including querying by time, account etc) but doesn’t have export features (officially). I am certain there’s an API behind the site that I just have to make sense of. Since the webapp is requesting data from the API when I click, we should be able to record the web traffic to explore the API. My first thought was to use tcpdump(8), a powerful network..

I have read a lot of Aaron and Jen’s work, but it took this video to make me realize how nice they had it. Their Airstream-Silverado combo makes for a great setup, which made me re-think my plan to build an LMTV-based RV. With $40,000 for a used Airstream, though, plus another $30,000 for a used truck to pull it, I would spend more going this route and get a less capable setup. The M1083 will give me more living space atop a chassis tha..

Many modern web browsers come with tools that can help developers debug their websites. If you are using Google Chrome or Firefox for example, try pressing F12. A new panel should open containing various tools. These tools provide a look “under the hood” for the current page. Common tools include a JavaScript console, JavaScript debugger, DOM explorer, network request viewer, performance profile, local storage manager, and more.

Some email provider accept regular expressions to blacklist additional spam. My blacklist is long and tedious to update, but hey… Emacs org babel can simplify things here. It's way easier to maintain a blacklist (with no regex) using an org table.

Το Σάββατο ήθελα να ζωγραφίσω και (πολύ πρωτότυπο) αποφάσισα να φτιάξω ένα πίνακα με την Ίριδα, τη γάτα μου. Να. Θα έβγαζα φωτογραφίες απεικονίζοντας την πρόοδο του πίνακα αλλά δεν ήταν εφικτό. Υπήρχαν μπογιές παντού: στα χέρια, στα ρούχα, στη γάτα, στο τραπέζι που είχα τον πίνακα και στο πάτωμα επίσης. Ό,τι έπιανα γινόταν μπλε, καφέ ή άσπρο.

Changepoint detection is an important task that has a lot of applications. For example, I use it to detect changes in the Rider performance test suite. It’s very important to detect not only performance degradations, but any kinds of performance changes (e.g., the variance may increase, or an unimodal distribution may be split into several modes). You can see examples of such changes in the following picture (we change the color when a c..

When writing long sentences in documentation repositories, git tends to show really unhelpful diffs. They are unreadable because long lines aren’t broken, which hides edits happening towards end of line. A colleague of mine asked me if git couldn’t be configured to make this sort of thing more obvious. Challenge accepted! Figure 1: Can you spot the edit made in a long line of text?
