Introduction In episode 12, Bill laid out his strategy to handle data hashing on his blockchain. The first step he took was to create a package to handle the cryptographical aspects of his blockchain. After that, he wrote a hash function that met the requirements outlined in his strategy. This function took transaction data as a parameter and returned a hexadecimal representation of the hash. To implement this function, Bill imported packa..

Introduction In episode 13, Bill discussed the idea of adding salt to a hash and how modern crypto-currency blockchains use it to better interpret requests sent to nodes. He continued by defining a function called stamp that embeds a salt within a hash. While writing the function, Bill stated that he would use keccak256 as it’s the same algorithm used by Ethereum to generate hash values. Bill will use the APIs provided with Go Ethereum to ..

What are the differences between a committee and a working group? Working groups relax hierarchy to allow people to solve problems across organizational units, whereas committees both reflect and reinforce organizational boundaries and hierarchies.

Race Report Event This was a quick Sunday morning run, that was a total of 4 miles. The event was put on by the Dolphin South End Runners (DSE), and is a hilly but scenic course through one of my favorite parts of San Francisco. Its a great club, and the run events almost every […] The post DSE – Twin Peaks 4 Mile Race Report first appeared on hypergeometric .

The Splunk command fieldsummary is amazing – I use it quite frequently to explore more “new” (to me) sourcetypes, and to find out about more fields than I’ve previously used in the sourcetypes I work with most. But sometimes you want to be able to delineate more granularly than fieldsummary will allow. Maybe you have... continue “a rich man’s fieldsummary” »

This post evaluates the finite-sample Gaussian efficiency of the trimmed Hodges–Lehmann estimator. In Pragmastat, Center achieves 95% asymptotic Gaussian efficiency with a 29% breakdown point — without any trimming. Confidence intervals are available via CenterBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat In the previous post , we introduced the trimmed [[hodges-lehmann-estimator|Hodges-Lehman location estimat..

Good tools are those that help users accomplish something while mostly staying out of their way. Browsers should be such tools, and there are many of them to choose from. Sadly however there are effectively only two browser engines available. Those would be the engines behind Google’s Chrome and Mozilla’s Firefox. Name me any fairly mainstream browser and there are overwhelming odds that either one of those engines is powering it.

I had been meaning to check out David Wilson's System Crafters post detailing his presentations style achieved with the help of org-present and his own customizations. If you're looking for ways to present from Emacs itself, David's post is well worth a look. org-present's spartan but effective approach resonated with me. David's touches bring the wonderfully stylish icing to the cake. I personally liked his practice of collapsing s....

Fiction It’s that part of the late afternoon where the sun has dipped below the horizon but it’s not dusk yet. I walk out of the air-conditioned sanctuary of my house, and step onto the porch. The now weakened humidity of the mid-September breeze envelopes me. I love Indian summer. My bare feet relish the feel of the unvarnished, and uneven wood below. The road is full of dust. The sky is baby blue, and gradients all the way to pin..

At Jane Street we use a pattern/library called “expect tests” that makes test-writing feel like a REPL session, or like exploratory programming in a Jupyter notebook—with feedback cycles so fast and joyful that it feels almost tactile. Having used them for some time now this is the only way I’d ever want to write tests.

I encourage people who fetch my keys to verify over multiple bands; for instance, they can fetch it over both Web Key Directory and DANE. They can also use something like Keyoxide to verify that it is associated with many other online accounts, perhaps including the account I was using when I first met that person. The later isn’t exactly verifying “out of band”, but it’s super helpful. If you’re willing to do some of that (a big “if”: ..

Full credit to the original author here for a pretty good recipe. Its tasty and simple, but I felt that there we’re a couple odd things I would change. I’d decrease the amount of worcestershire include.

You may or may not have heard the IndieWeb term POSSE , which stands for "Publish (on) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere". Although the term itself is relatively new to me, the approach that it describes is one that I've preferred for a long time. Syndication, though, has generally been something that I've treated as a manual task: tweeting/posts links that I think are likely to be of interest (often skipping more general posts like th....

About a week ago, I added an Emacs function to insert SF symbol names . This is specially useful for SwiftUI. I didn't bother too much with inserting symbols themselves since I hadn't figured out a way to render them for all buffers. That's now changed.
