After spending some time at work on tooling for keeping documentation in sync with Go struct definitions I had enough exposure to Go's built-in parsing package that next steps were clear: write an interpreter. It's a great way to get more comfortable with a language's AST. In this post we'll use the Go parser package to interpret the AST directly (as opposed to compiling to a bytecode VM) with enough to support a recursive implementatio....

Apple's new OSes are out. If you've looked through the documentation, you may have noticed that the prototype for objc_msgSend has changed . Previously, it was declared as a function that took id, SEL, and variadic arguments after that, and returned id. Now it's declared as a function that takes and returns void. Similar functions like objc_msgSendSuper also became void/void. Why the change? (Read More)

I have always liked painting but I had never devoted any time to this hobby. I was painting once every 2 or more years but with dissappointing results. Few days ago I tried to create a painting of my cat and I enjoyed both the process and the result. I decided to pursue this hobby and yesterday, I followed an episode of Bob Ross’ show “The joy of painting” (most if not all episodes are available on Youtube ). I surprised myself with th....

When we compare two distributions, it’s not always enough to detect a statistically significant difference between them. In many cases, we also want to evaluate the magnitude of this difference. Let’s look at the following image: On the left side, we can see a timeline plot with 2000 points (at the middle of this plot, the distribution was significantly changed). On the right side, you can see density plots for the left and ....

I challenged my twitter peeps: Challenge: you have a csv file and you need to import it into a new table in a database. You have 5 mins to get it done. What tools do you use? @secretgeek and was overwhelmed with the responses! So many different ways people approach the problem, and so many different tools. It reminds me of Miles' Law: Where you stand on an issue depends on where you sit. If you sit in python all day, y....

I like to plan ahead, and so I think about long-term financial security even now , in my early twenties. As the old saying goes, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” When I decide to retire, I will get to say I chose the first. Permalink.

Emacs swiper is awesome. I bound swiper-isearch to C-s . Also a big fan of multiple cursors . I use it regularly (it's fun). I had totally missed Ole's post back in 2015: A simple multiple-cursors extension to swiper . Turns out, swiper has multiple cursors support out of the box (bound to C-7 by default). Yay! UPDATE: Thanks to irreal's post , please remember to add swiper-mc to mc/cmds-to-run-once list (or things won't w..

I use Vim as a plain text editor for everything. Apart from coding, I write blog posts in vim, create quick notes and draft design documents. Surprisingly, I haven’t customized it a lot and am very lean about the plugins. While keeping my setup austerely simple, I rarely lack any of the functionality. However, recently I wondered if I can achieve a “distraction free” experience with Vim, like when you see a full screen text, nicely centered..

As I work to eliminate debt and build a nest egg, so that I can then invest and prepare for retirement early , this subject has become ever-more interesting to me. Seeking Alpha — clearly — has some great advice, from some smart people. ..

In many statistical papers, you can find the following phrase: “assuming that we have a normal distribution.” Probably, you saw plots of the normal distribution density function in some statistics textbooks, it looks like this: The normal distribution is a pretty user-friendly mental model when we are trying to interpret the statistical metrics like mean and standard deviation. However, it may also be an insidious and mislea....

It’s also similar to Ag and Ack and optimised for searching code, ignoring .git directories and the like. https://github.com/burntsushi/ripgrep tmux - Terminal multiplexer. I wrote a 5 min guide to this. Use it to have resumable sessions after closing ssh sessions and to have split pane....

I’m writing code to back up my user data off a website that lets me see all of my info (including querying by time, account etc) but doesn’t have export features (officially). I am certain there’s an API behind the site that I just have to make sense of. Since the webapp is requesting data from the API when I click, we should be able to record the web traffic to explore the API. My first thought was to use tcpdump(8), a powerful network..

I have read a lot of Aaron and Jen’s work, but it took this video to make me realize how nice they had it. Their Airstream-Silverado combo makes for a great setup, which made me re-think my plan to build an LMTV-based RV. With $40,000 for a used Airstream, though, plus another $30,000 for a used truck to pull it, I would spend more going this route and get a less capable setup. The M1083 will give me more living space atop a chassis tha..

Common tools include a JavaScript console, JavaScript debugger, DOM explorer, network request viewer, performance profile, local storage manager, and more.
