You acquire a skill or experience through time and effort, then downplay the impact of writing and sharing the learning process. Professionals seem naturally to imagine a high bar for what is worth writing about. I think that's misguided. This article is not criticism of folks with these beliefs, but rather encouragement for folks looking for a reason to write. There are (at least) a few concrete reasons to write about what you've lea....

Refactoring UI is one of the best things I've read this year in terms of stuff learned, I feel like I've become a way better designer after reading every chapter, the thing I like about it is that it focuses a lot on the little things that when used together makes an average website 10x better

Have you ever really sat down and thought about Batman? I had a surplus of spare time on my hands recently, so I went back and played through Batman: Arkham City. When it originally came out, people consistently told me it was good, but I never got around to playing it because I just never cared about superhero comics or any other type of cape media. It’s a middling game - lot’s of time wasting minigames - but I’m not here to elaborate on t..

Masen’ka (or Mary) is Nabokov’s debut novel. It was written when he was in his twenties, living as an émigré in Berlin, just like the story’s protagonist. In the introduction of my Italian edition (Adelphi), the author admits that some life events poured into the narration. The depiction of Ganin’s life in a pension filled with fellow Russian ex-pats, and the relationships between them, is undoubtedly reminiscent of Nabokov’s own experience..

In the post about the importance of kernel density estimation bandwidth , I reviewed several bandwidth selectors and showed their impact on the KDE. The classic selectors like Scott’s rule of thumb or Silverman’s rule of thumb are designed for the normal distribution and perform purely in non-parametric cases. One of the most significant caveats is that they can mask multimodality. The same problem is also relevant to the biased cross-vali..

If you want to seem like the smartest person in the room, wait for a break in conversation, after sitting quiet for 15 minutes, and ask “What problem are we trying to solve here?” It works every time. We’ve all been there. You walk into a meeting, there are 10 people in it. It gets rolling, different folks chiming in. A few people seem to be taking personal notes, they always do. There is the person that scheduled the meeting, but they’....

The ability to avoid temptation is a modern superpower. With temptation ubiquitous, avoiding it is essential in fighting procrastination; keeping finances healthy; managing diet and weight; boosting productivity; and maintaining healthy relationships. Avoiding temptation hard because before you are trapped – while you are becoming trapped – you still have self-control. The problem is that you feel like you have self-control right ....

This is a great little whodunit caper, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you’ve seen the original Knives Out and liked it, you’ll probably like this too. If you haven’t, think an Agatha Christie novel. I’ve seen people say it’s “tighter” then the original, but I’d have to disagree. I’d say they’re very comparable in pacing, if anything, the original film is a little more directed in it’s story. Both are excellent, though, and stand independ..

Aaaaarrrrggggh!" What does that mean? It could mean I stubbed my toe - or it could mean I dropped something. Somebody may be in mortal danger - or maybe they just read a disagreeable headline. For understanding life, language is a magnificent - yet wholly inadequate - tool. Linguistic communication enables specificity that promotes technological advancement and social coordination. Formal languages (with well-formed words) may....

The backend-for-frontend (BFF) pattern is when a backend API is designed specifically for the needs of a frontend consumer. The BFF is intended to make frontend development simple, moving all the complexity and “business logic” to the backend and allowing the frontend to deal with a single backend. The backend BFF API closely resembles the flows and screen designs of the frontend. The initial development experience is often positive. T..

vern’s main VPS has been moved to Hetzner ~vern team Sun, 27 Nov 2022 Hello ~vern members, We are pleased to announce that ~vern’s main VPS has been migrated from OVHCloud to Hetzner.

A non-exhaustive list :) We only get 250 Mb/s Uses Haswell i7 and OpenStack (Linode/Hetzner use AMD Epyc/Intel Xeons with KVM) Doesn’t allow us to migrate to OVH ..

This is a follow up to Opponent Modeling Wins 2× Faster Than Stockfish . After running 400 simulations, I can conclusively say that opponent modeling is pretty cool. The TLDR on opponent modeling is that if we have a pretty good idea of what the opponent might do, we can beat them faster by playing moves which aren’t objectively “optimal” as far as minimax is concerned. Here, Maia 1900 is a model of a relatively high-level chess player. ..
