Today, someone in one of the rooms I moderate had to get banned for spreading homophobia and transphobia. In the argument preceding the ban, he shared a video with the lovely title "Doctor Destroys Transgenderism with Simple Science" . I did not actually bother to watch it back then, mainly due to the fact it has a length of 27 minutes and 17 seconds, however, as if there was nothing else to do, I decided to watch it now anyway just to see....

Last week I posted a reading list of the books I have read (or plan to read this year) on engineering management. My concern is that no one teaches you this stuff in an MBA or at work so you’re kind of forced to do this on your own.

After six years in the field, Chris has shared his strong opinions on software development practices, languages, and methodologies. I like his attitude. Willingness to continuously put one’s personal views under scrutiny, eventually adapting or even changing them as needed, is not a common trait. Not in our field. While I generally agree with most of his opinions, I feel the urge to comment on a few of them. Typed languages are better..

Have you ever thought that Tamagotchis deserved more rights than a photograph of a child? In this video, we explore: How some existing non-human entities are missing out on rights How non-human entities relate to foreigners How society could benefit from more deliberate thought being applied to deciding who should actually exist Foreigners are compared to non-humans as a way of relating to the similarities in their existence.

As a non-native English reader, I had to look up the true meaning of “Unbundling” as a neologism. According to Wikipedia Unbundling is a neologism to describe how the ubiquity of mobile devices, Internet connectivity, consumer web technologies, social media and information access in the 21st century is affecting older institutions (education, broadcasting, newspapers, games, shopping, etc.) by “break[ing] up the packages they once offer..

In Pragmastat, Disparity formalizes this as a robust Cohen’s d analogue normalized by pooled Spread . Confidence intervals are available via DisparityBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat There are several ways to describe the difference between two distributions. Here are a few examp..

Having your own blog is a very interesting experiment. Like any other project it will teach you something. Your writing skills will improve (that’s an assumption but it’s difficult not to improve if you do it regularly). If you’re not writing in your native language, you’ll improve in the language you do write in. You’ll notice holes in your understanding of the subject you’re describing. You’ll draw attention of others to your work and, ho..

For one of my classes I am required to take a short weekly exam via Proctorio. There’s been some controversy surrounding this software. Although it claims it’s trustworthy, it’s not open-source, so no one can verify their claims. So naturally, I was reluctant to install it on my primary machine. Enter: the spare raspberry pi I have sitting around. All it took was a USB webcam hooked up to a raspberry pi. For this project I wanted to max....

This post is part of the FastAPI series. In the first post, I introduced you to FastAPI and how you can create high-performance Python-based applications in it. In this post, we are going to work on Rest APIs that interact with a MySQL DB. We will also be looking at how we can organize routers and models in multiple files to make them maintainable and easier to read. FastAPI does not strict you to use a certain database framework. You may u....
