As someone who spends a significant chunk of time immersed in terminal windows, constantly tweaking and optimizing, I thought I had achieved an ideal setup with zsh and oh-my-zsh. However, in the spirit of continuous improvement, I recently embarked on a quest for re-evaluation and potential enhancement.

While most of my blog posts are technical in nature, I occasionally post a personal one - and this one certainly falls into that category. I’ve been on vacation these past several weeks to spend some quality time with my daughter, her partner, and my grandson from Australia. It was the first time I’ve been able to hug my daughter in four years, and the first time I’ve been able to see my grandson and his father outside of Zoom.

TL/DR; Play/Download a copy from itch.io I had always wanted to create games. In fact its one of the reasons I went down the development path. For various reasons I never invested enough time (probably too much time playing them) and went into writing code for businesses. In hindsight that was probably the right move from a financial perspective, since it seems most game developers tend to be fairly underpaid and the drama in the game..

Persistent nostalgia The past few months, I've spent some time to set up a room in my house to be a pretty sweet space dedicated to retro-gaming. This includes a vintage PC, a CRT TV, and a multitude of classic games consoles hooked up to four RCA/AV switches. This works well, and to play the console we want, one can just flip a couple of switches instead of having to unplug and shuffle around literally 8 different sets of RCA cables. Th....

What is a blunder in chess? The tension between the qualitative and quantitative answers to this question is at the heart of different approaches towards chess, and more broadly, how quantitative metrics may lack context, but qualitative metrics lack precision.

Add custom command in CMake can be used to copy assets and runtime dependencies into the build folder for easier debugging. The one thing to remember when you’re about to copy assets/dependencies into the build folder, is that it should be done at the BUILD stage, and not the CONFIGURE stage of CMake. If you find your self doing generator expressions during the configure stage of CMake, you’re doing something wrong. # Wrong ....

Let us consider the classic problem of outlier detection in one-dimensional sample. One of the most popular approaches is Tukey’s fences, that defines the following range: $$ [Q_1 - k(Q_3 - Q_1);\; Q_3 + k(Q_3 - Q_1)], $$ where $Q_1$ and $Q_3$ are the first and the third quartiles of the given sample. All the values outside the given range are classified as outliers. The typical values of $k$ are $1.5$ for “usual outliers” and $3.0$ for ..
