My favorite books out of the 50 books (~18,000 pages) that I read in 2022: Sci-Fi Terra Ignota Quartet ( Too Like the Lightning , Seven Surrenders , The Will to Battle , Perhaps the Stars ) — A fascinating unlike-anything-else romp through a sci-fi 25th century well-seasoned with 18th-century philosophy tied together with a page-turning plot set in a compelling and meticulously built world. One of those series that sticks with you lo....

In the Call of Cthulhu adventure “Chateau of Blood”, the characters are faced between spending the day trapped in an ominous chateau where they will likely be attacked by monsters or attempting to navigate a treacherous mountain trail as a ferocious blizzard blows. Inspired by Hammer films , the characters are encouraged to stay inside the chateau, find clues, and face the monsters rather than go out into almost certain doom. However, ....

This post studies the breakdown point of a trimmed variant of the Hodges–Lehmann estimator. In Pragmastat, the standard Center already achieves a 29% breakdown point without trimming — the recommended robust location estimator. Confidence intervals are available via CenterBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat For a sample $\mathbf{x} = \{ x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n \}$, the [[hodges-lehmann-estimator|Hodges-....

Introduction In episode 9, Bill introduced the idea of the genesis record and its role in his blockchain. As a recap, the genesis record will be used to customize the settings of his blockchain. The approach Bill takes here is similar to how Ethereum operates because he is storing the record in JSON format. In this video, Bill starts by defining the Go types his blockchain will use. The first type he defines will represent the genesis re..

Introduction In episode 10, Bill dove into the technical implementation of his genesis record and defined a custom Go type representing the record. While doing so, he provided an in-depth look at the reasoning behind the fields he included.. After declaring this type, Bill wrote a function that loads the genesis record from disk and onto memory. His function will use the standard library encoding/json package to load JSON data from a hard-..

The most common (and most costly) operation of the marginalia search engine’s index is something like given a set of documents containing one keyword, find each documents containing another keyword. The naive approach is to just iterate over each document identifier in the first set and do a membership test in the b-tree containing the second. This is an O(m log n)-operation, which on paper is pretty fast. It turns out it can be made fa..

Edit: I updated the widget with other (more useful to me) informations, jump at the bottom: Updated v2 If there’s one thing that I don’t like to use, are the stats apps in the menubar. Apps like iStat Menus , eul , MenuBar Stats , Usage Monitor , etc… to me all looks like a waste of system resources to monitor the system resource. Because they can monitor too much stuff that I don’t need to check, or the windows are vey big and I ca..

Happy New Year! This has nothing to do with the new year. We at this website know, reluctantly, that “d*mn” is not always a welcome word. Additionally, we are aware that we have a few articles sporting even saltier vocabularies (settle down, Colonel Sanders!). Countless school teachers have admonished us for our casual profanity, the use of which makes it difficult to share our otherwise engaging content with young, impressionable student..

Used the south parking lot (Pinnacle Peak Park). Arrived about 1:30pm and there were plenty of spaces. Did a lollipop hike (detailed below). Covered 3.2 miles in 2:15 (1:05 to ascend, 0:30 at the top, then 0:40 to descend). On the way up, followed the road all the way to its end, then took the trail through the trees anti-clockwise. The last ~200yds before the summit had some very steep and rocky sections, though exposed roots and trees..

Arrived about 11am, and the parking lot had plenty of space. We walked clockwise around the lake. It was very easy going, and well maintained despite all the branches and trees that have been fallen down recently (all cleared out the way). It took 35 minutes to walk around, though this included 5 or 10 minutes of occasional stops to look around or explore the side trails. We met many others who were out for a casual walk around the lake..

Scraping a GitHub user’s profile for their daily commit data can be a useful way to track their activity on the platform and potentially even analyze their work habits. In this tutorial, we’ll go through how to use the provided Python script to scrape a user’s profile and export the data to a CSV file.

Continuing on the theme of file management from my last post: This script takes a folder of files and randomizes all filenames, whilst keeping the filename extension. This is useful if you're sorting by name, and want to have the files presented in a random order. Some possible use cases are a folder of pictures you intend to post to a blog, do further processing on, and the order and names of the files aren't important. Usage : cd to th..

On New Years Day of 2022, I stumbled out of bed and immediately lost my vision, fell to the floor, and had to get my then-partner to help me back into bed. This wasn’t the first time this had happened, and I knew what it was straight away - I was having a migraine. In the previous decade I’d had countless migraines, and they always followed the same pattern. I’d wake up after a night out, attempt to get to the bathroom, lose my vision, and ..

This was a very enjoyable book, and I can’t help but recommend others read this. Each night I would find my self through about 50-100 pages, and unable to sleep after each chapter because I wanted to find out what happened. Bad for my sleep, but a great read. The book sets up a scenario […] The post Civilizations: A Novel by Laurent Binet first appeared on hypergeometric .

Several years ago I did a take-home interview which asked me to write a TFTP server in Go . The job wasn't the right fit for me, but I enjoyed the assignment. Lately, in my spare time, I've been tinkering with a Rust implementation. Here's what I've done to parse the protocol.
