In an earlier post, I got USB audio working on my used, manual, 2013 Honda Civic EX . Today I’ll do the same for a Sony ZS-RS60BT boombox . Here it is in all its used glory after a little cleaning. Background : I decided I should get a small portable boombox to practice my dope dance moves . I currently still suck because I think I spend more time computering than out on the floor. In any case, in a stroke of luck, I happened..

GNU Stow is a tool from the GNU Project presenting itself as a symbolic link manager. As a reminder, a symbolic link is a shortcut to a file stored elsewhere on the disk. Thus, reading or writing a symbolic link will redirect to the original file. On the other hand, deleting the symbolic link does not delete the original file. Stow allows you to better manage the numerous configuration files present in Linux by creating symbolic lin..

You sent me a Word doc on Wed 18 Mar 2020. Inside the doc was a copy/paste of a very large slack conversation. Inside the conversation was the complete contents of our production incidents channel on the morning of Mon 16 Mar. I glanced at the document, but was busy - our systems were straining and crashing because COVID-19 had erupted and US schools had closed, and teachers turned to Remind at scales we had never seen. Teachers have r....

The vast majority of my long term private savings are in low cost index funds. I only hold a handful of individual stocks, from a small “play” bucket in which I have no high expectations. But I have recently been thinking about investing in companies that I actually care about.

Declaring multiple sets of scopes for the same provider with Devise and OmniAuth in Rails

If you’re familiar with the Rails ecosystem, the names Devise and OmniAuth might ring a bell: the former is a gem that handles (nearly) everything related to authentication; coupled with the latter, it makes implementing popular Social Login providers (e.g. Login with Facebook, or Twitter, or GitHub…) a breeze.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocu..

Today’s post comes from a recent Go pop quiz. Consider this benchmark fragment. A convenience wrapper around sort.Sort(sort.StringSlice(s)), sort.Strings sorts the input in place, so it isn’t expected to allocate (or at least that’s what 43% of the tweeps who responded thought). However it turns out that, at least in recent versions of Go, each […]

I want to comment on the following tweet: A rather banal “thought experiment:” What if the only code we could review was tests and interface definitions? What would that force us to specify at the interface and behaviour level, rather than just the implementation level? — Reginald Braithwaite (@raganwald) January 2, 2021 When I read it, I had an immediate and visceral reaction. Because this is one of those things that sound ....

It has been such a long year. I like being by myself. For the most part I’ve enjoyed hiding away in my little apartment, getting groceries delivered, working from home. I don’t really need a lot of human interaction. But by this point even I have gotten pangs of wanting to go to the city and sit in my favorite coffee shop, or just window shopping, or being able to go to a restaurant or stroll through Gamla Stan. Most of all I’ve missed be..

This case study evaluates the accuracy of MAD estimation using the Harrell-Davis quantile estimator on Gumbel-distributed data. Pragmastat recommends Spread — the Shamos estimator — as a more efficient robust scale alternative. Confidence intervals are available via SpreadBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat In some of my previous posts, I used the median absolute deviation (MAD) to describe the dist....

Splitting headache at 10am. Not a fine way to start the day. For the last 10+ years, I’ve consumed 2-5 cups of coffee every day. I was hooked to coffee is an understatement. It had gotten so bad that if I didn’t get coffee by 9am, I’d get a debilitating migraine for the rest of the day. I also had restless sleep, bordering on insomnia, where I wouldn’t sleep at all for a couple nights a month.
