The last few days I’ve felt like my first attempt at a ranking algorithm for the search engine was pretty good, like it was producing some pretty interesting results. It felt close to what I wanted to accomplish. The first ranking algorithm was a simple link-counting algorithm that did some weighting to promote pages that look in a certain fashion. It did seem to keep the page quality up, but also seemed to as a strange side-effect promot..

Have you wanted to create a Python application that goes further than a command-line interface? You would like it to have a friendly interface but don't want to make a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or web application. Maybe a TUI (Text User Interface)would be a perfect fit for the project. This week on the show, we have Will McGugan to talk about his projects Textual and Rich.

I am aware of only two workflow managers that support cyclic workflows. Cylc and StackStorm . I won’t enter into details about these two tools, but I must note that I worked on Cylc during my employment with NIWA, in New Zealand. In this post I will only show a very simple workflow called five first using Cylc, and then the same workflow with StackStorm. Cylc First let’s take a look at the source code of this workflow with Cylc 8 and..

If you were a child with a Nintendo DS like myself, growing up you will undoubtedly have played (for countless hours) video games from the Mario series. Appearing for the first time in Donkey Kong , Mario is the undisputed protagonist of the video game brand of the Nintendo development house ― from sports to cars, most of the famous video games produced by Nintendo have Mario as the main character. -Continue to read the article on SerHack...

Comments Simplicity vs User Experience Why do fans have that weird nob to turn on oscillation but they have buttons for speed control? Why not put an oscillation button on the front? The nob is hard to reach and especially difficult while the fan is oscillating. It’s terrible UX. It’s incredibly simple to implement which makes it extremely reliable. As a user of a fan’s interface I would prefer a button next to speed controls. As a build..

https://search.marginalia.nu The October Update is live. It introduced drastically improved topic identification and an actual ranking algorithm; and the result is interesting to say the least. What’s striking is how much it’s beginning to feel like a search engine. When it fails to find stuff, you can kinda see how. I’ve played with it for a while now and it does seem to produce relevant results for a lot of topics. A trade down in wh..

When I read Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by Merlin Sheldrake 1 , I was stunned by the scale and importance of the mycorrhizal network that lies beneath the surface of any given forest in the world. The “wood wide web”, as scientists started to call it, sounded like the perfect metaphor for such an incredibly efficient, symbiotic relation between fungi and trees.

One of our application running in kubernetes have a background job feature (which is a bad practice and against stateless architecture) and recently we noticed some of these background jobs were killed in midway due to pod scale-down done by horizontal pod autoscaler. Our assumption was Kubernetes will only terminate pods with less utilization but we were wrong! and its a random selection. In order to handle this issue we found out that w....

Comments Who’s to blame? Many of us probably heard about the HBOMax email that was sent out by mistake last week. It wasn’t a major outage, but a lot of people were talking about it. I especially loved the outpouring of support I saw online for whomever triggered the integration job that sent the email. 💖 Just like the gif, no one person is to blame. The person who poured cement isn’t any more to blame than the person who architected the..

Comments Declarative and imperative Oftentimes in technology we say declarative things are better than imperative. Why write a script when you can create an abstraction? In reality there’s no such thing as something being completely declarative outside maybe binary data in memory, but even that requires sequential steps before it can be stored. However, we can hide imperative steps behind a declarative interface and a user never needs to..

In one of the previous posts , I discussed the idea of the trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator based on the highest density interval of the given width. Since the Harrell-Davis quantile estimator uses the Beta distribution, we should be able to find the beta distribution highest density interval of the given width. In this post, I will show how to do this.

Comments Nostalgia technology Looking back at old technology products most of the time I think how bad they were. Occasionally, I remember something I really liked and I wish I could have it again. But then I realize the products were good at the time but probably would hold back innovations in ways I couldn’t predict. Much like this car jack which seems like a great idea! Takes up minimal amount of space, self inflates, and probably abo..

Error correction sounds good. It means fewer errors, right? When it comes to QR codes, that’ll mean easier scanning for people, surely? It seems like that’s not the whole story. I wondered about this, and couldn’t find an answer, so I did some exploration, and found there’s two factors in tension: the error correction on one hand, and the resulting data density on the other: For fixed data, like a particular URL, it’s easier to read a....

Every single time I need nginx, I end up spending way too much time fiddling around with its configuration. If you’re like me, rejoice! Julia Evans built a lovely, helpful little tool called nginx playground. Hello! On Wednesday I was talking to a friend about how it would be cool to have an nginx playground website where you can just paste in an nginx config and test it out. And then I realized it might actually be pretty easy to build..
