Math and computer science are full of inequalities, but there is one that shows up more often in my work than any other. Of course, I’m talking about $$\displaystyle 1+x \leq e^{x}$$ This is The Inequality. I’ve been told on many occasions that the entire field of machine learning reduces to The Inequality combined with the Chernoff bound (which is proved using The Inequality). Why does it show up so often in machine learning?

Such programs are super annoying. I had this problem on my computer - some program is occasionally stealing window focus, resulting in being switched out of full-screen games at inopportune times etc.. So I made a program to detect such annoying programs - https://github.com/glaretechnologies/focusmonitor . I figured out the offending program is C:\Users\nick\AppData\Local\Akamai\installer_no_upload_silent.exe. Dear Akamai: please f..

Exactly a year ago today we flew from Berlin to Tenerife to depart on a sailing trip across the Atlantic on the Finnish sail training schooner T/S Helena . The Grid had just reached 10.000 founding members, and it was time to charge batteries before the next big push towards the beta. I had sailed on Helena once before, on a weekend trip in the Turku archipelago . But crossing the Atlantic would be a more interesting adventure. F....

Spotted Conda package manager. It handles python installations, in addition to package management. There's also a package index provided by Binstar . Installed Miniconda , the bare bones Conda environment. Can't find a python package in Binstar? Here's a post on Using PyPi Packages with Conda . If that fails, you can try pip from your Conda python environment.

This is the third post in a series of three blog posts about Rollup, AdRoll’s UI component library. This post covers what we learned from building a UI component library. For details on why we built the UI component library see the first post in the series and for how we built it see the second post . At end of Rollup component and developer tool development, we reflected on what we did and realized that we had learned four important ....

At Cerner, we use Chef to automate our deployments across a very large distributed system comprised of many thousands of nodes. While we employ ServerSpec and Test Kitchen extensively to test our Chef recipes, this still doesn’t identify all possible failure scenarios. In a large distributed system such as ours, we occasionally run into connectivity failures between machines due to network ACL issues. This could be due to a variety of reaso..

This is a simple JavaScript game I made a while ago using HTML5’s canvas element. The rules are simple: Click on a box when it appears to make it disappear. Every time you click a box, you get points. However, every time you click a box, the next one appears faster. If a box appears on top of another box, you lose points. “Peak” is the highest score you achieved before you started losing points.

I've open-sourced my mongodb/couchdb data integrity analysis tool called white glove. You can find it at focusaurus/white-glove on github and white-glove on npm . It helps with both schema discovery of a new or unfamiliar database as well as scanning your data for inconsistencies that may help you prevent problems before they cause any impact to end users.

We have implemented a number of systems in support of our Erlang -based real-time bidding platform. One of these is a Celery task system which runs code implemented in Python on a set of worker instances running on Amazon EC2 . With the recent announcement of built-in support for Python in AWS Lambda functions (and upcoming access to VPC resources from Lambda), we’ve started considering increased use of Lambda for a number o....

The following post was written by a 23-year old man who lives in a truck entirely of his own volition and holds a degree in something wholly-unrelated to both business and finance. As such, its content should not be viewed or seriously considered as advice by anyone.

Some concepts are very complex and need a long explanation. But we might decide to take a shortcut and simplify the concept when describing it. That short explanation is misleading. Lets see why… For example, we might be trying to explain electro-magnetism. A full explanation will include Maxwell’s equations, definitions of electric and magnetic fields a discussion of ferromagnets, and more. A shortcut explanation might be that magnet....
