Optimal threshold of the trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator

The traditional quantile estimators (which are based on 1 or 2 order statistics) have great robustness. However, the statistical efficiency of these estimators is not so great. The Harrell-Davis quantile estimator has much better efficiency (at least in the light-tailed case), but it’s not robust (because it calculates a weighted sum of all sample values). I already wrote a post about trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator : this approac..

If you are still running on an old Maven version like 3.6.3 or below you definitely need to upgrade to version 3.8.1 because of security reasons. Learn more about why you should upgrade and how to do it.

I found out about the CSS :is selector today, via this “Things I Learned Reading Webkit’s UA Stylesheet” article. It takes a selector list as its argument, and selects any element that can be selected by one of the selectors in that list. This is useful for writing large selectors in a more compact form: /* Instead of this: */ .content p > code , .content td > code , .content li > code { /* ... */ ....

So had an interesting experience with Go the other day. This is part of building a bloom filter index which is going to replace the index in searchcode.com So I was trying to verify how long a search would take when the index was full. When trying it out on a machine to see what the performance would be I built a version to create some very large slices over 64,000,000 items in length to simulate the expected workload. This should take ..

Actually, I had planned another topic in Solidity Series for web3.js but then the post could go off tangent hence I am discussing the basics of web3.js and how to interact with a smart contract. I am going to use the same contract I had created here. Basically, it is the web3.js version of the last post. Unlike other posts about web3.js based frontends that use NodeJs and React, I am not going to use any such thing because it is not require....

Volker Ullrich’s Eight Days in May describes the period from April 30, 1945, the day of Hitler’s suicide, to May 8, the day of signing the German capitulation, with significant jumps backwards in time and some hops in the future. We’re covering only eight days, and the dictator dies on day one. What essential events might ever have happened in such a short period? Well, many pivotal ones, as this well-researched work shows us.

I find if I do not regularly plant interesting thoughts in my mind, it will rarely grow them spontaneously. I need to read interesting books, or have interesting conversations; if I do not, I’ll look back at my ideas and find I haven’t really had any in a very long time. Thoughts will grow whether I take care to plant them or not, but what grows if I have been careless is weeds.

Terrific piece by Jonathan Zittrain, on The Atlantic, on link rot and digital preservation . I love how well documented and informative it is. Yet, it remains perfectly approachable for both the non-knowledgeable reader and the technically savvy. Too much has been lost already. The glue that holds humanity’s knowledge together is coming undone. We need more content like this.

The myth of one-man orchestra I think I finally understand how multiplayer creation works. My college dorm had a music room in the basement, and while I couldn’t play any instruments I loved hanging out with friends when they organized jam-sessions. Friends would invite their musician friends over to jam, and I would have the best time seeing how they pick up a tune, and the room filled with sound until my bones were resonating with it, ....

One lazy evening in November 2020, I watched how Tim Cook announced a fanless MacBook Air with a CPU faster than the latest 16 inch MacBook, while my work-provided 15 inch 2019 MacBook Pro was slowly frying my lap and annoying my wife with its constant fan noise. I had to get my hands on that machine. I also had the excuse that users of my app couldn’t control their monitor brightness anymore, so I could justify the expense easily in my....

Shane Hoang’s paper “A pneumatic random-access memory for controlling soft robots” was published in PLOS ONE . Shane developed a “pneumatic RAM chip,” a pneumatic logic circuit capable of controlling pneumatic soft robots. By dramatically reducing the amount of electronic hardware required to control soft robots, the pneumatic RAM can accelerate the spread of soft robotic technologies to a wide range of important application areas. T..

I couldn’t recall a tmux command, so I quickly reached for my trusted default search engine DuckDuckGo. I typed “tmux cheat sheet” because, well, once I found an excellent one which I wanted to summon again. To my surprise, the search result included an in-page cheat sheet—a good one too. It isn’t the first time that DuckDuckGo surprises me like that. Need a new GUID? Search for it .

A long-sought first draft of Marcel Proust’s ‘In Search of Lost Time’ surfaced a few years ago. Its fascinating story and intriguing news are revealed in a Tablet article titled Proust’s Madeleine Was Originally a Slice Toast . Being the Tablet “a daily online magazine of Jewish news, ideas, and culture”, it makes sense that a good part of the article focuses on Proust’s ambivalence about his Jewishness. Still, there are many other inter..
