I propose an alternative to the Dead Internet Theory called the Living Dead Internet Theory, an exaggerated version of my actual beliefs: Any content written to optimize against algorithmic curation is as bad as algorithmically generated content. Algorithmically-curated content is disproportionally biased towards content optimized for said algorithm. The most accessible content might as well be written by bots. Don’t use short-tail se..

These are some of my class notes. Learning to derive the Y Combinator from first principles is something I’ve always wanted to do. This isn’t quite the Y Combinator, but it’s very close and it still gets you recursion without relying on recursive structures to begin with. In the beginning, we write a recursive function to compute the length of a list: ( let* ([ len ( λ ( lst ) ( if ( null? lst ) 0 ....

Today I want to talk about one of the rules that’s in Strunk and White. It’s actually in almost every book about writing, which is to use the active voice and to prefer it over the passive voice.

One of my colleagues shared this article with me a few days ago and having read through it (and many others like it before), I felt like I needed to provide hopefully a more balanced perspective to this age old debate based on my own experiences and learnings. So in this post, that’s what I am going to attempt to do. Successful Startup != Microservices The author shares this link to a security audit of start up codebases and emph....

I was looking into compression of heightmaps for Substrata , and tried doing lossless compression in the following way: quantise terrain heights to 16 bit values, then try and predict the next value (using some previous values, see this tweet ) and then encode the difference between the prediction and the actual value (this is called the prediction residual). You end up with a bunch of residuals, that you then want to compress. I tried....

Exploring different strategies for fine-tuning the output file size in AWS Glue and consolidating small files during post-processing. By implementing these techniques, you'll not only enhance the efficiency of Athena queries but also significantly reduce the cost associated with querying large datasets.

The top three software developers that ever worked for triOS College are shown here from left to right: Orion, Bob, and me. Unfortunately, this week we lost Bob to a courageous and difficult battle with cancer. I’ve known and worked with Bob Gunderson since the beginning of triOS College 25 years ago, when it was called triOS Career Academy and triOS College of Information Technology. He was a talented software developer who taught our ea..

How software fails is interesting. But real-world errors can be infrequent to manifest. Fault injection is a formal-sounding term that just means: trying to explicitly trigger errors in the hopes of discovering bad logic, typically during automated tests. Jepsen and ChaosMonkey are two famous examples that help to trigger process and network failure. But what about disk and filesystem errors? A few avenues seem worth investigating....

Symmetry factors are often confusing, and existing calculation techniques seem to involve excessive drawings and computations. My personal technique is simple: For example, this diagram has , since we can interchange and at the same time, and get the same diagram (assuming the endpoints are fixed). This one has , coming from With a bit … Continue reading "Symmetry factor of Feynman diagrams"

This week, I visited a high school to watch a gymnastics meet. Before I went, I expected to see feral teenagers, acting like animals. I imagined it would be like the scene from Mean Girls, with lots of growling, screeching, and snorting.

Today I am thrilled to introduce the Shinobi Art Engine, the ultimate tool for creating NFT collections. This is an extension of the amazing work done by the HashLips team, known for their pioneering efforts in NFT art generation, and it’s the first tool to support both BCH and ETH NFT collections. The CashNinjas team has been working on this project for a while now and we are excited to share it with the world.

Chris Krycho, a person I really respect, is learning Racket to build programming languages. Racket is generally slotted as a language to build languages. The popular books focus on Racket innovations related to constructing Domain Specific Languages. This include hygienic macros, the Racket loading and evaluation phases and the module system. While it is uniquely suited for creating languages 1, Racket is also a research vehicle for a large..
