One lazy evening in November 2020, I watched how Tim Cook announced a fanless MacBook Air with a CPU faster than the latest 16 inch MacBook, while my work-provided 15 inch 2019 MacBook Pro was slowly frying my lap and annoying my wife with its constant fan noise. I had to get my hands on that machine. I also had the excuse that users of my app couldn’t control their monitor brightness anymore, so I could justify the expense easily in my....

Do you wonder what the future may hold for the Python language? Are there speed improvements coming soon? What if you could be in the room while the core developers discuss Python's future? This week on the show, we have Joanna Jablonski, who was invited to the Python Language Summit 2021 as a journalist to summarize and document the event.

I couldn’t recall a tmux command, so I quickly reached for my trusted default search engine DuckDuckGo. I typed “tmux cheat sheet” because, well, once I found an excellent one which I wanted to summon again. To my surprise, the search result included an in-page cheat sheet—a good one too. It isn’t the first time that DuckDuckGo surprises me like that. Need a new GUID? Search for it .

A long-sought first draft of Marcel Proust’s ‘In Search of Lost Time’ surfaced a few years ago. Its fascinating story and intriguing news are revealed in a Tablet article titled Proust’s Madeleine Was Originally a Slice Toast . Being the Tablet “a daily online magazine of Jewish news, ideas, and culture”, it makes sense that a good part of the article focuses on Proust’s ambivalence about his Jewishness. Still, there are many other inter..

In many (JPA) applications numerical ids are chosen for the surrogate key of the entities. But how do we make sure that they are not used twice? In a scenario where our application needs to scale horizontally we need a solution for that. Most developers come to the conclusion that the database should take care of that. But this is a fragile solution and in this article I want to discuss it.

I am pretty excited about the [Minimal APIs][3] feature that is coming with .NET 6. Three lines of code will be enough to build a fully functional REST microservice 1 : var app = WebApplication.Create(args); app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!"); await app.RunAsync(); If you’re a seasoned ASP.NET MVC/WebApi developer, the snippet caught your attention because, pre-.NET 6, achieving the same result will have you messing with a lot of ex..

Patience. Grit. Perseverance. Borderline Stubbornness. The number one reason people failed, especially when it comes to content marketing and organic reach, is a lack of patience and will try one more time. Statistics will be your first enemy The beauty of digital marketing is that it brings you statistics, and you know pretty much what’s happening with your content, which at the beginning, is not much.

They will dig up your garden to get them. I’ve seen various recommendations for breaking an egg into the bottom of the hole when you plant out tomatoes. Apparently, this works and increases yield: It’s just a form of fertilizer, so this isn’t too surprising. I’ve tried this in previous years and it seems to work. Sadly when I did it again this year, the raccoons decided they wanted the eggs and dug up the garden to get them. Figure..

I’m in the midst of rebuilding the index of my search engine to allow for better search results, and I’ve yet again found need to revisit how I handle link farms. It’s an ongoing arms race between search engines and link farmers to adjust (and circumvent) the detection algorithms. Detection and mitigation of link farms is something I’ve found I need to modify very frequently, as they are constantly evolving to look more like real websites.

Estimating quantile confidence intervals: Maritz-Jarrett vs. jackknife

When it comes to estimating quantiles of the given sample, my estimator of choice is the Harrell-Davis quantile estimator (to be more specific, its trimmed version ). If I need to get a confidence interval for the obtained quantiles, I use the Maritz-Jarrett method because it provides a decent coverage percentage . Both approaches work pretty nicely together. However, in the original paper by Harrell and Davis (1982) , the authors su..

That one day my fridge decided to give up but blasting me with hot air right when I wanted to put food in there. Thermostat failed in a really funny way. It refused to turn the cooler on, but decided to get hot itself. I spent half a day trying to find a replacement part, for such a simple thing as GE thermostat I found no help. I couldn’t ID it, repair shops or ebay were to no help.

The earliest known version of the idiom “the straw that broke the camel’s back” was written by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury in 1677, though it was concerned with horses and feathers: “The last Dictate of the Judgement, concerning the Good or Bad, that may follow on any Action, is not properly the whole Cause , but the last Part of it, and yet may be said to produce the Effect necessarily , in such Manner as the ....

Back when I had a LinkedIn account, I’d see a familiar question populate my inbox from recruiters looking to fill engineering manager positions. In fact, I saw this question so often that I finally decided to answer it…sort of. What would you say are 3-5 traits every great manager must possess? My cop-out answer is: I don’t know yet. I’m still learning and am still a relatively young manager, making mistakes, adjusting, repeat. Bu....

Greetings. I'm a janny on another minor imageboard and I'm thinking of writing a new imageboard.

I’m struck by how easy it is to read things on Gemini. Not just skimming, but actual reading, like you would a book. Not everything written is great, but it’s usually worth reading all the same. Venturing out into the land of contemporary HTML is different, and it’s not a subtle difference. I’ve written before about the plague of inline links on Wikipedia, and this is largely a continuation of that discourse looking at other design elemen..

If you want to have a python webserver running locally and listening on port 80 – or any other port < 1024, you can do it like this: $ sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/python3.8 This gives the /usr/bin/python3.8 binary the ability to bind to privileged ports without being root. Note that this only works for real files, not symlinks, so this will probably not work, as python is generally a symlink: $ sudo s....
