If you spend enough time in US business or finance conversations, one word keeps showing up: equity . Coming from a German-speaking, central European background, I found it surprisingly hard to fully internalize what that word means. More than that, I find it very hard to talk with other Europeans about it.

I once wanted to be a basketball coach. Although I have now become a source(TM) for basketball coaches, I never coached. But what if I told you that I was once a coach on a different field?

Yesterday I briefly played the demo of a 90s-style hoverbike and behelmeted rider racing combat game called Airframe Ultra with my friend Artwo using Steam’s remote play together, and it reminded me of a gritty version of F-Zero. Looking forward to more time with this one.

Minor update, I have created a page, Job Advice Resources to cumulatively list all the materials I have written on advice for social scientists and crime analysts looking to pivot into private sector tech roles. I still get maybe ~2 folks a month ask for advice, and I am always happy to chat. I wish […]

There are a lot of cool features in my new blogging tool. Here are some of the top of my head: Render anything, from individual posts to full blown websites. Integrates with the writing tools you already use today. Templates for pages but also file paths, for maximum flexibility. Automatically generate frontmatter for your markdown files. It‘s agnostic so you can use any template rendering engine. Supports partials and cross engine callin....

When I write about things like storing food or medication in case of disaster , one common response I get is that it doesn't matter: society will break down, and people who are stronger than you will take your stuff. This seemed plausible at first, but it's actually way off. Looking at past disasters, people mostly fall somewhere on a "kind and supportive" to "keep to themselves" spectrum. When there is looting it's typically dir....

I’ve been running Kubernetes in production for years now, and there’s a specific kind of pain that only hits you once you cross the threshold from “a couple of clusters” to “wait, how many do we have again?” That threshold, for me, was eight clusters. Eight clusters across three cloud providers and two on-prem data centers. And every single one of them had drifted into its own little snowflake. This isn’t a theoretical post. I’m going to ..

im studying to get a french minor and i just came across something really interesting. the word for station depends on what is going through it. if you have urban rail it would be a "station" while regional / national rail is "gare". super interesting distinction in my opinion:)

If you’ve read our earlier post, you already know about CHAOS—the server-driven UI (SDUI) framework we built at Yelp that powers our dynamic views. Until now, we’ve explored its architecture, backend implementation, and component model. In this post, we’ll dive into how we integrated CHAOS with Yelp’s cross-platform design system, Cookbook, and the auto-generated bridge library, Konbini. Introduction to Cookbook At Yelp, we support two majo..

Applied research teams slow down not because they lack good ideas but because of simpler issues: unclear metrics, confusing experiment design, poor iteration loops, and vague takeaways. I've been working on applied research 1 in some form for my entire career so far. These are notes for early-career quants, ML researchers, and other applied computer scientists trying to improve their research process inside an organization. Continuously....

Looking back at this milestone video, it's the audience question towards the end I liked most: "are you happy"? Charlotte and I have chosen a path that's non-traditional, intense and at times, pretty stressful. There's no clear delineation of when work starts
