ok, inspired by a friend, I have decided to make some changes in the way i organise my content on this blog. Separating pure content (in depth article, how-tos, reference post) from the blog in a more casual sense of word. In a follow up to post “We have stopped blogging” – I want to get back to some regular writing. Less formal, more personal, maybe informative maybe not – I don’t know yet, what I know is I want it to be place where I can ..

This may not be my first post of 2018 (or even my second, for that matter), but hey, better late than never. Happy 2018! I’ve said before that I’m not a big fan of New Years’ resolutions. That’s still true. But I am a fan of taking the time to evaluate how my life is going, and course-correcting as necessary. I try to do it every few months, but the start of a year is as good a time as any to take a good hard look in the mirror,..

SoundCloud consists of hundreds of millions of tracks, people, albums, and playlists, and navigating this vast collection of music and personalities poses a large challenge, particularly with so many covers, remixes, and original works all in one place.

I came across a link on Product Hunt to Tailor Brands who do automatic logo creation and branding. It is great to see them still doing well. I used them for my company logo, Sentio Ventures , shortly after they started in 2014!

Sometimes when we are making backups on our files, and specially if you are a Node.js developer, you’ll suffer whilst copying your repositories to another place for making a backup. (Provided you don’t have git for all your repositories) Just do: rsync -av --exclude 'node_modules' source destination And you are set. You could also exclude some other things like adding adding gitignore rules rsync -av --filter=":- .gitignore" source destinat..

Cerner has a very compelling story that many want to learn from. Cerner’s Agile Champions are regular presenters at local, national, and global conferences. We routinely host calls and site visits for interested companies around the world who want to figure out how we were able to adopt Agile so quickly and sustain it so successfully. Despite our success, there has been a general feeling at the engineering leadership and Agile Champion tier..

Recently, while writing a small Golang program for setting reminders I came across a small confusion that I guess most newcomers to Golang will have - how to organise a package in a way that will enable it to cleanly contain two or more binaries.

You’re an Autolayout Wizard. You know Interface Builder like the back of your hand. Then, one day, you create a simple UIView, add it as a subview with some elegantly crafted constraints, and.. it blows up in your face. What gives? Take a look at this code example that tries to create a UILabel and center it in the view. let centerLabel = UILabel() centerLabel.text = "Perfectly centered!" view.addSubview(centerLabel) NSLayoutConstraint....

Last week, I passed my one year anniversary as head of the US Digital Service (USDS). So when Mr. Money Mustache asked for an interview, I was delighted to talk about some of the work that the USDS does. If you aren’t familiar with Mr. Money Mustache, he writes about a philosophy of badassity in […]

There are a lot of stories around how Blockchain could revolutionize every industry. This is a nice summary of some of the companies that are trying to make this happen and the way they are trying to make an impact.

This is an interesting post from Rob Conery, someone I’ve followed for quite some time, and his observations as he gets older about how he wonders if he is past keeping up with new technology.

Prelude It will be helpful to read this four-part series first on escape analysis and data semantics. Details on how to read an escape analysis report and pprof output have been outlined here. https://www.ardanlabs.com/blog/2017/05/language-mechanics-on-stacks-and-pointers.html Introduction Even after working with Go for 4 years, I am continually amazed by the language. Thanks to the static code analysis the compiler performs, the co..

UPDATE: I’m leaving this series up for historical purposes, but please note that I no longer recommend Ubuntu Core or snaps for use in robotics. This is the second blog post in this series about creating your first robot with ROS and Ubuntu Core. In the previous post we walked through all the hardware necessary to follow this series, and introduced Ubuntu Core, the operating system for IoT devices. We installed it on our Raspberry Pi, and u..

Although I mostly blog for myself, I’m curious as to how well my blog performs. So every month on the 20th this year I want to post a simple blog status report. These reports will include statistics for the previous month: from the 20th to the 19th. For instance, this blog report covers the time period of December 20, 2017, through January 19, 2017.

This sequence is Eliezer's second attempt at The Great Canon of Modern Rationality. He took the insight-porn-style of the original and recast it into a sleeker (and quite frankly, more useful) theory-then-exercise format. Not unlike the original, however, he begins by digging beneath the idea of truth:The Sally-Anne False-Belief task is an experiment used to tell whether a child understands the difference between belief and reality. It goes..

Cell phone addiction. Sugar addiction. Alcohol addiction. Social media. Cigarettes. Marijuana. Email. Drugs. Social media. Caffeine. I think these are bad when taken to the excessive. But when consumed in reasonable amounts all of the above can be beneficial. Hospitals use morphine as a pain killer in extreme situations. Alcohol, with all its toxic effects on the body, can still serve as a “social lubricant”, and a fast way to relax ....

Google is working again on S2 a spatial library !!! And they even have created a website to communicate about it s2geometry. The C++ port contains a Python Swig interface. I’ve been using an unofficial Python port with Jupyter for years now things are way more simpler. If you are on Arch I’ve create a package, simply install AUR s2geometry-git First we want a clean Jupyter install from scratch: virtualenv3 ~/dev/venv3 source ~/dev/venv3/bin..

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link” Any improvement made anywhere besides the bottleneck is an illusion. Any improvement made after the bottleneck is useless because it will always remain starved waiting for work from the bottleneck. Any improvement made before the bottleneck merely results in more ‘work’ piling up at the bottleneck. Identify the system’s constraint(s) (that which prevents the organisation from ob....
