I’m not a linguist. I’d like to say I wish I was , but the thought of spending 4 years at university to call myself one isn’t too appealing. Still, I find linguistics interesting, and based on some observations in the last few years I’ve had something on my mind: Is there a term for when a sudden cultural event highlights a relatively unknown word or term and cements it in everyone’s head – often to the point where the word is synonymous....

I have come across a story a few times that I have seen called “Why Were You Not Zusya?” This story relates to the Hasidic Rabbi Zusya (Rabbi Zusya of Hanipol). As far as I can tell, there are various tellings and translations, but the one I have seen is attributed to Martin Buber (Wikipedia). Here is a rendition (found on this blog); the emphasis is mine: !--more-- On his deathbed he began to cry uncontrollably and his students and discip....

I’ve decided to take a break from random blogs and try to put something useful out. How useful remains to be seen, but still, useful is the goal here. I am currently rewriting my dad’s business’s website in order to bring it out of a village in Punjab, in the early 2000’s, and into the […] The post React Components and Dynamic HTML Data Attributes appeared first on Something Decent .

Introduction From Sony’s metallic marvel Aibo, the robot dog that barks in binary, to the questionably edible Chia Pet – a glorified house plant, nothing screams “21st-century ennui” more than our love affair with artificial pets. These impersonal, battery-operated furballs and clay-covered critters provide an avenue for the millennial, Gen Z, and boomer alike to […] The post A History of Artificial Pets appeared first on Specular Real..

This post investigates effect size measures for multimodal distributions, where standard approaches based on mean differences fail. In Pragmastat, Disparity provides a robust effect size normalized by pooled Spread . Confidence intervals are available via DisparityBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat When we want to express the difference between two samples or distributions, a popular measure family ....

Pub-Sub messaging is a popular messaging pattern used in modern software development. This pattern enables effective communication between multiple software components that need to exchange messages in a decoupled way. In this article, we will dive deep into the concept of pub-sub messaging and explore how it is used in real-world scenarios.

Although I tend to prefer alternative methods of transport these days, there is something to be said for the joys of traversing the open roads of America in a personal automobile. Last week, I drove solo from Seattle, WA to Austin, TX over the course of four days. With most of my belongings in the trunk of my Challenger, I made the trip in anticipation of my move to New York City in September. As someone with increasingly mixed feelings abo..

I have recently been experimenting with the use of large language models (LLMs) to augment JSON Schemas with useful features. While ChatGPT gets most of the press, there are many other LLMs that are specifically designed to work with code. The idea is that these LLMs can be used to augment incomplete schemas with additional useful information. Consider an example schema such as the one below. This is a basic schema which might be created ....

We need semantic markup for sarcasm for the best of both worlds! Style sarcasm with CSS and have your client/browser indicate it to you however you prefer. The WAI-Adapt task force at the W3C is working on the Help and Support Module to, among many other things, annotate in markup the literal interpretation of metaphorical statements, jokes, and sarcasm so you can style and switch between them. Lots of planning, vocabulary, and proo....

Ownership continued In recent posts we have shared our views on ownership and how we use that @ Coolblue to develop our software. We value ownership on a team level as also seen in re-designing / re-engineering our 'backoffice' monolith . Since last time we wrote about our Tech Principles , we actually added a Tech Principle to our collection that should help our teams understand ownership when we look at services, events and the co....

I have been taking improv classes for a little while now. I don’t think I can pinpoint a single activity that has impacted my life more positively. I am pretty introverted normally. But, I crave social interaction. Improv, and being unable to think about my words before I say them, was one of the scariest things I ever signed up for. But I’m so glad that I did. It has pushed me farther than most anything else. It has also shown me that open....

Note: The Secrets of Skellig is on indefinite hold now while I work on other things. I’ve wanted to dip my feet back into game development for a while, and last year I decided to put my money where my mouth is. I resigned from my full time job at Discourse and pulled up a bunch of YouTube tutorials on Blender and Godot. It’s been a ridiculous amount of fun, and I’ve learned so much about how modern 3D games are made. I’m finally ready ..
