Introduction I am a programmer, and I approach software as such most of the time. On occasion, however, I approach it like an ordinary user would, and every time I do, I learn something. This is one of those things. Lesson Another lesson I learned recently was this: eat your own dog food . If you don’t, you have no idea what works on your software and what doesn’t. I wrote an implementation of bc , and even though it is not t..

The internet is a new resource and when introduced in our social structures it has fueled the construction of utilities around it. Like any tool it has no effects on its own but only through its usages. In particular, it has altered our capacity of communication making it interactive, multimodal, asynchronous or synchronous, global or local, many-to-many, one-to-many, one-to-object, object-to-object. In this section we'll go over some of t..

Introduction On 03 July 2020, I published a post called “Decentralizing the Internet and Other Ideas,” and by far, the largest portion of that post was explaining my ideas for a decentralized identity system . I’ve had to admit that the idea won’t work, so I would like to talk more about it, how it’s changed, and why it won’t work. Purpose The purpose of the decentralized identity system, which I called IDSYS, was to break the net..

I did a recent AMA on Clubhouse and there were a lot of awesome, hard-hitting questions on the panel. So for the next several weeks, I’m going to write out my thoughts to each of the questions and how I answered them.

People who work with me tend to realize that I have Opinions about databases, and SQL databases in particular. Last week, I wrote about a Postgres debugging story and tweeted about AWS’ policy ban on internal use of SQL databases, and had occasion to discuss and debate some of those feelings on Twitter; this article is an attempt to write up more of them into a single place I can refer to.

Introduction Anytime you have an auction, you have the potential for the winner’s curse , a simple, yet surprising, statistical phenomenon. Despite its simplicity, the effect can have significant financial implications for anyone participating in auctions. We care about the winner’s curse at NextRoll because we participate in about 100,000 ad auctions per second. In this post, we explain the curse and explore the way it manifests itself....

In one of the previous posts , I discussed winsorized Harrell-Davis quantile estimator. This estimator is more robust than the classic Harrell-Davis quantile estimator. In this post, I want to suggest another modification that may be better for some corner cases: the trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator.
