Don’t chase small optimizations Said some smart person at some particular time, probably. If not, he ought to have; if worse comes to worst, I’m declaring it now. The cost of 2% here and 0.5% there is high, and the benefits are (by definition) low. I have been optimizing Astrolabe, my search engine. The different kind of Search Engine Optimization. I’ve spent a lot of time recently doing soft optimization, improving the quality and re..

The best code is the one that is easy to understand. The problem Source People don’t focus on code readability. Readability is like writing documentation. It takes extra time, more key presses, and you need to stick to it to make it work in the long term. However, sometimes people write code like this: settings = { "foo" : 1 , "bar" : 2 , "baz" : 3 } results = [ parse_document ( settings , r ..

Until recently I used Evernote for my notes, web clippings and document drafts, I was a subscriber going on 14 years and had over 3000 notes. However in recent years Evernote has gone downhill to the point it could be considered hostile to it’s users. The native macOS app was replaced with an Electron Javascript webframe and like almost all Electron apps I’ve tried it was plagued by poor performance, memory leaks and aggressive idle CPU..

Normally, neither I nor Laura deal with political issues, given Tanith and FantasyCookie17 are occupied with these enough for one body. However, this time, the latter was, in her own words, "too lazy to write this", and the former felt like I would deliver a better performance at explaining the content of this. This, along with the fact that I have not written much on this blog at all, lead to me writing this post today. T.: Doesn't mean ....

Every year or so, something compels me to start over with a fresh OS image. Most recently, that something was an unfortunate water bottle incident. Once again, I need to pull down my digital life from the internet. The code and assets for this blog currently live in a 500 MB Git repository, which was hosted on Bitbucket until earlier today. Let's try cloning it! evantodd@HW-0063 ~ % git clone git@bitbucket.org:etodd/etodd.io.git ..

Optimal threshold of the trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator

The traditional quantile estimators (which are based on 1 or 2 order statistics) have great robustness. However, the statistical efficiency of these estimators is not so great. The Harrell-Davis quantile estimator has much better efficiency (at least in the light-tailed case), but it’s not robust (because it calculates a weighted sum of all sample values). I already wrote a post about trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator : this approac..

I found out about the CSS :is selector today, via this “Things I Learned Reading Webkit’s UA Stylesheet” article. It takes a selector list as its argument, and selects any element that can be selected by one of the selectors in that list. This is useful for writing large selectors in a more compact form: /* Instead of this: */ .content p > code , .content td > code , .content li > code { /* ... */ ....

So had an interesting experience with Go the other day. This is part of building a bloom filter index which is going to replace the index in searchcode.com So I was trying to verify how long a search would take when the index was full. When trying it out on a machine to see what the performance would be I built a version to create some very large slices over 64,000,000 items in length to simulate the expected workload. This should take ..

Actually, I had planned another topic in Solidity Series for web3.js but then the post could go off tangent hence I am discussing the basics of web3.js and how to interact with a smart contract. I am going to use the same contract I had created here. Basically, it is the web3.js version of the last post. Unlike other posts about web3.js based frontends that use NodeJs and React, I am not going to use any such thing because it is not require....

Book Review. Eight Days in May: The Final Collapse of the Third Reich

Volker Ullrich’s Eight Days in May describes the period from April 30, 1945, the day of Hitler’s suicide, to May 8, the day of signing the German capitulation, with significant jumps backwards in time and some hops in the future. We’re covering only eight days, and the dictator dies on day one. What essential events might ever have happened in such a short period? Well, many pivotal ones, as this well-researched work shows us.

I find if I do not regularly plant interesting thoughts in my mind, it will rarely grow them spontaneously. I need to read interesting books, or have interesting conversations; if I do not, I’ll look back at my ideas and find I haven’t really had any in a very long time. Thoughts will grow whether I take care to plant them or not, but what grows if I have been careless is weeds.

Terrific piece by Jonathan Zittrain, on The Atlantic, on link rot and digital preservation . I love how well documented and informative it is. Yet, it remains perfectly approachable for both the non-knowledgeable reader and the technically savvy. Too much has been lost already. The glue that holds humanity’s knowledge together is coming undone. We need more content like this.

The myth of one-man orchestra I think I finally understand how multiplayer creation works. My college dorm had a music room in the basement, and while I couldn’t play any instruments I loved hanging out with friends when they organized jam-sessions. Friends would invite their musician friends over to jam, and I would have the best time seeing how they pick up a tune, and the room filled with sound until my bones were resonating with it, ....
