The Client-Server architecture that has become ubiquitous in modern applications has had some unintended consequences that go against much of the original philosophy of an open Internet and free software. Large tech companies have taken control of users' data and locked them into their ecosystems, converting the Internet into an oligopoly of centralized services. One small step towards fixing this would be to separate data storage and limit..

Comments I twice had lunch with Ed Catmull at Disney and I asked him if there was anything that surprised him about managing people. He said he was surprised how well people can game rules and metrics for their own benefit. The above gif may or may not be real, but also speaks to people manipulating perception for—maybe—their benefits.

They must also entice users into clicking on them.

Comments Edutainment I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained. Walt Disney What’s next? I had a lightning talk for Devops Days Portland called “TikTalk” about innovation. Please go watch it because it was a lot of fun to make. Innovation comes in different forms; there are sustaining innovations and disruptive innovations. Most companies need people who can..

Optimization is arguably a lot about intuition. You have a hunch, and see if it sticks. Sure you can use profilers and instrumentation, but they are more like hunch generators than anything else. This one wasn’t as intuitive, at least not to me, but it makes sense when you think about it. I have an 8 Gb file of dense binary data. This data consists of 4 Kb chunks and is an unsorted list containing first an URL identifier with metadata a..

Governments here in Australia have been telling us to keep distance from each other. Surprisingly, the same government has simultaneously put out posters that required people to get close, unnecessarily. They contain QR codes for contact-tracing check-ins that are small and dense, meaning they’re hard to scan. How could they be better? Here’s how: Three pages placed horizontally. They all contain a 'we're covid safe' logo, text lik....

By Rev. Thomas Watson “And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this Law and to do these Statutes.” — Deut. 17.19. What Cicero said of Aristotle’s politics, may not unfittingly be said of this book of Deuteronomy, it is full of golden eloquence. In this chapter, God instructs the Jews about setting a king over them, and there are two th....

Optimal window of the trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator, Part 2: Trying Planck-taper window

In the previous post , I discussed the problem of non-smooth quantile-respectful density estimation (QRDE) which is generated by the trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator based on the highest density interval of the given width. I assumed that non-smoothness was caused by a non-smooth rectangular window which was used to build the truncated beta distribution. In this post, we are going to try another option: the Planck-taper window.

Comments Shipping products This past week I was part of the team that launched EKS Anywhere. Launching an open source project was something I really wanted to do to see how it was different from products and services I’ve helped launch in the past. The biggest difference for me was it’s really refreshing to point people to GitHub for issues and to let people use the software for free. The users I got to talk to were fellow infrastructure..

Redux is a state management library that is commonly used in React apps. Redux was created in 2015 and almost immediately became a common sight in React apps. This may have been due to the fact that many of the React docs assumed that Redux was installed along with the popularity of boilerplates that included Redux by default. As a result of this, many front-end developers including myself, incorrectly assumed that React had to be used with..

Comments Tools you’re familiar with The right tool for the job isn’t always the best tool. Some tools are made for a specific reason, but there is a learning curve and cognitive tax to know how to use new tools. Sometimes the right tool is the one that is good enough that you already know. The hardest part is knowing when to switch tools. If you work on a team this means updating documentation and training and maybe convincing the rest o..

Comments Stress As a junior developer you get assigned work and have to implement it and solve problems within a certain scope. As you get more senior you have more responsibility which often comes with more visibility and more pressure. Sometimes you’re a blocker for a new project or are part of an outage. These can be stressful situations.

I’ve been dealing with a botnet for the last few days, that’s been sending junk search queries at an increasingly aggressive rate. They were reasonably easy to flag and block but just kept increasing the rate until that stopped working. Long story short, my patience ran out and put my website behind cloudflare. I didn’t want to have to do this, because it does introduce a literal man in the middle and that kinda undermines the whole point..

Comments Puzzling Growing up my dad loved puzzles. He had the weirdest rule that I never understood. No matter how many pieces the puzzle had, he would look at the picture once when he opened it and never looked at it again. Thankfully, he never enforced that rule on us as kids, but I still don’t understand why he did it.

An idea I’ve had for a long time with regards to navigating the web is to find a way to browse it. “Browse” a difficult word to use, because it has a newer connotation of just using a web browser, I mean it in the old pre-Internet sense, browse like when you flip through a magazine, or peruse an antiques shop, not really looking for anything in particular just sort of seeing if anything catches your eye.
