Let’s say we have two distributions $X$ and $Y$, and we want to express the “absolute difference” between them. This abstract term could be expressed in various ways. My favorite approach is to build the Doksum’s shift function . In order to do this, for each quantile $p$, we should calculate $Q_Y(p)-Q_X(p)$ where $Q$ is the quantile function. However, some people prefer using the shift distribution $Y-X$. While both approaches may provide..

The following is from a essay from a class on German literature and film. Fritz Lang’s movie Metropolis is primarily about the struggle between the oppressed working class and the ruling elite. What drives this tension, however, is a particular view of technology and technological progress that exacerbates the problems the film focuses on. This mentality is called high modernist ideology by Scott in his book Seeing Like a State : ....

Comments Problems Isn’t it great when a problem fixes itself? I’ve seen this happen more often with people systems than with technology. Ignore that email a couple of days and it’s likely not to be a problem anymore. With technology we usually have to take some action. Reboot a server, add a sleep, or add more resources. It’s not a “fix” but the problem isn’t visible for a little while so we can go back to doing other things.

Always be closing. Always be closing. Alec Baldwin’s character in Glengarry Glen Ross Welcome to part 7 of the series on “How to be a game changer”. You can find the previous posts here 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . As an engineer, I’ve had an aversion to sales for a long time.

Oh, just a small heads up: Our Mumble server's apparently broken rn. Might be we'll take't down forever. More information soon™ ^^ So, th..

First: Avoid Being Chased Down # I live in Italy and, when I was a child, I didn’t really believe in Santa – I was already asking too many questions. I didn’t mind too much being a good child to receive nice gifts, but a few hundreds of kilometers from me, things were (are!) quite different. In the Eastern Alps, in Austria, Slovenia and other Slavic countries, naughty children are not gifted with black coal by the Befana , as in Italy.....

Flashing SAS Cards feels like a trip to the 90s, with all the peculiarities included. This particular LSI SAS9201-16e card left me puzzled, until I realized it is the Supermicro variant that needs special handling. Let's see if I can pull together the important pieces, so that those who come after me don't need to give up on their cards.

Sait Faik Abasıyanık is an acclaimed Turkish storyteller. A useless man is a collection of short stories that spans nearly two decades of the author’s output, offering a glimpse into his imaginative and troubled mind. His overflowing love for others (even sensual, with a preference for street kids) combined with a “mal de vivre” that pushes him towards self-destruction are apparent. His passion for the most popular areas of Istanbul an....

I have been editing the next science fiction book. The plan is to hire an editor to go through it as well, since the previous books made enough income to pay for that. Editing will be the first service I pay for in my self-publishing journey. If things continue to go well, I might start buying proper on-market covers as the next step (but I also really like designing my own covers, so we’ll see…it’s just that I know nothing I come up with w..

At a previous job, we had a new and fancy office. The light switches were state of the art. There was an on button, and a separate off button. When you pressed the on button, the lights would fade on. When you pressed the off button, they would fade off. In the cloud somewhere was two functions that presumably looked a bit like this: fun turnOnLamp() { while (!bright()) increaseBrightness(); } fun turnOffLamp() { while (!dark()) decreaseBr..

How to Solve It , but for operational incidents. Engineers with site reliability responsibilities are often faced with operational issues (incidents) that have an unknown cause and uncertain solution. How to Solve It is a classic work describing heuristics for solving mathematical problems. There have been adaptations of this book for different domains, but none yet for software-intensive operations. Within this study, we aim to build ....

Let’s set the stage first. So, it’s Tuesday night and I’m Command Tab-ing my way through 10 different apps, some with 3-4 windows, while trying to patch bugs in Lunar faster than the users can submit the reports. I’m definitely failing. I feel my brain pulsing and my ring finger going numb on the Tab key. I stop switching apps and just stare at the Xcode window, containing what I knew was Swift code but looked like gibberish right n....

There seem to be three kinds of Python developers: those unaware of type hints or have no opinion, ones that embrace them, and others who have an allergic reaction at the mention of them. Python is famously a dynamically typed language, but there are advantages to adding type hints to your code. This week on the show, we have Luciano Ramalho to discuss his recent talk titled, "Type hints, protocols, and good sense."
