This post proposes the standard quantile absolute deviation (SQAD) — a dispersion estimator with 54% Gaussian efficiency and 32% breakdown point, sitting between MAD and the Shamos estimator in the efficiency-robustness trade-off. Pragmastat recommends Spread — the Shamos estimator — for the best balance. Confidence intervals are available via SpreadBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat The median absol....

Amongst the many, many things that organizations have to contend with around cookie consent laws is Apple’s very own browser, Safari. Did you know that Safari will only retain a client-side cookie for 7 days? This is in support of Apple’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) feature, designed to protect a user’s privacy. These privacy efforts are great but, in hand with laws like GDPR and CCPA , their rollout often creates a UX nigh....

In the primordial days of Marginalia Search, it used a dynamic approach to crawling the Internet. It ran a number of crawler threads, 32 or 64 or some such, that fetched jobs from a director service, that grabbed them straight out of the URL database, these jobs were batches of 100 or so documents that needed to be crawled. Crawling was not planned ahead of time, but rather decided through a combination of how much of a website had been..

Let's assume you're familiar with basic SQL databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL, and document databases like MongoDB and Elasticsearch. You probably know Redis too. But you're hearing more and more about embedded key-value stores like RocksDB , LevelDB , PebbleDB , and so on. And you're hearing about distributed key-value databases like FoundationDB and TiKV . What's the big deal? Aren't these just the equivalent of Redis or Java'....

When you write stored procedures and functions in your database, you want to ensure their correctness, just like with your Java code. In Java, this is done with unit tests, typically with JUnit. For example, if you have the following code in Java: Then, you might write a test like this: But how do we … Continue reading How to Integration Test Stored Procedures with jOOQ →

Recently have been doing interviews at work for Go developers. The filter for this is a simple review exercise. We present a small chunk of code and ask them to review it over 15 minutes pointing out any issues they see. The idea is to respect their and our time. It works pretty well and we can determine how much experience someone has by their ability to pick up the obvious vs subtle bugs.

There is something about this that I find incredibly meaningful and insightful. This is as close to a personal manifesto as I have - I listen to audiobook version of this at least once a month as a reminder of how I want to act. [T]he so-called real world of men and money and power hums merrily along in a pool of fear and anger and frustration and craving and worship of self. Our own present culture has harnessed these forces in ways t..

I do not know the thoughts that come, Companions to your aging, Whether your heart with grief is numb Or whether it is raging. I wonder in your lonely nights What old times choose to call. Are they ghosts of past delights? Are they remembered gall? And do you doubt, there in the dark, The meaning of your living - If it has been a wasted work, An unrequited giving?
