What happened in Silicon Valley in the 2010s ? Airbnb: founded in 2008, raised over $6 billion, managed to destroy entire areas of Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris and Rome, among other cities, because rich tourists wanted to live like a local… Continue reading →

This post introduces the untied quantile absolute deviation — a modification of QAD that never collapses to zero on samples with tied values. Pragmastat recommends Spread — the Shamos estimator — which naturally handles ties via pairwise differences. Confidence intervals are available via SpreadBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat In the previous posts, I tried to adapt the concept of the quantile abs..

Every developer eventually wants to explore new programming languages. As motivating as it gets, there’s always a question of finding a suitable project for that noble goal. You can rewrite classical games, you can make a text editor, a UNIX shell or clones of traditional UNIX core utils. If you can afford it - build a web server, write an emulator, a ray tracer or even an operating system. To each his own.

As a developer, I often want to test my code on Windows, but don't have a Windows box handy. This tutorial demonstrates how to use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to make provisioning Windows test instances easier. In this post, I also provide a working Packer template and Terraform configuration to deploy your own Windows test instance, as well as instructions for mounting a local folder over RDP.

This feedback has been helpful for me too; I incorporated the discussion around the Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect into the “contrast is complex” section of my web best practices article. I think the Helmholtz-Kohlrausch effect also ties into my concerns regarding overstimulation, also described in the same section of that article. Over-saturation of perceptually “light” colors that also look like “warning” colors (e.g. yellow, which conta....

We did a “lollipop hike”, extending the route slightly to a total length of 8.17 miles and 1,587ft elevation gain. We began as usual by heading first to Talapus Lake, then onward to Olallie Lake, and then took the much less well-trodden connector trail from the north-east corner of Olallie Lake straight up the mountainside to the Pratt Lake Trail. At this point we encountered intermittent patches of snow on the trail, continuing for a few h..

μKanren (“micro-Kanren”) is a tiny, embeddable logic programming language. It’s easy to understand and implement in almost any language. It’s a great case study of an embedded language: unlike other common “embedded” languages like SQL or regex, which normally are represented as just plain-old strings, μKanren takes more advantage of the host language’s features. I recommend reading the original paper : it’s short, well-written, and easy....

In performance work, you will often find many distributions that are weirdly shaped: fat-tailed distributions, distributions with a hard lower bound at a non-zero number, and distributions that are just plain odd. Particularly when you look at latency distributions, it is extremely common for the 99th percentile to be a lot further from the mean than the 1st percentile. These sorts of asymmetric fat-tailed distributions come with the busi....

You've got to hustle. Have a side-gig. Do personal projects. Build a personal brand." Such tips are frequently offered, commonly aspired to, and irregularly achieved. It is not entirely poor advice - but it is unduly simplistic. The general idea is that you've got to somehow achieve concurrency - both multitask, and execute well and with focus. And, for a human, this isn’t really possible. So what is possible? First, you have ....

Randomly some Docker-containers on a clients Linux machine wouldn’t start - they’d fail with the error: docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:319: getting the final child's pid from pipe caused \"EOF\"": unknown. It didn’t matter what container it was, nor where or who started it. Sometimes it happened with Gitlab- CI jobs, sometimes wi....

Getting Back into Writing Once again, I have decided I’d like to write down more of my ideas and share them with others. I had setup a blog with Hugo and Netlify about a year ago but the free domain I used had expired and was now hosting porn ads. I really liked the Hugo setup and ease of use, but I wanted to further automate it for the day to day and not require me to directly interact with a CLI or git at all, at least directly.
