Lately I’ve been thinking about data maturity models within large organizations, and how to measure maturity and ability to use data. Specifically, what it means to be data literate or data fluent or whatever buzzword is used to mean “hip and with it like the cool kids” when it comes to being able to collect, sort, order, and use data to the greatest extent possible. To help think this through, I’m putting down a few thoughts here. My g....

Christopher Wellons's elfeed is a wonderful Emacs rss reader. In Mike Zamansky's Using Emacs 72 - Customizing Elfeed video, he highlights a desire to open elfeed entries in the background. That is, open the current rss entry (or selected entries) without shifting focus from Emacs to your browser. This behaviour is somewhat analogous to ⌘-clicking/ctrl-clicking on multiple links in the browser without losing focus. I've been wanting el....

As I promised in the end of the last hacking session (about Oracle SQL Monitoring , I will run another one on 2. June 2020 . This one will be a deep dive into Oracle hint usage and various scenarios of hint (in)validity. I have too much material in my full-week Advanced Oracle SQL Tuning training , so I’m moving some “narrow deep dives” out and make available for free, so that we could spend more time actually tuning SQL during the class..

Amazon S3 is incredibly flexible and easy-to-use, but S3 security is more complex and requires a deeper understanding of the layers of S3 security options and the full context of your unique cloud use case to get it right.

This is part 4 of the RAD Chatroom tutorial. You can find part 1 here , part 2 here and part 3 here . Adding More Actions So far we’ve implemented the basic requirements of a chat room. It can display messages, show participants, and it allows users to send new messages. Now let’s go a step further and add some more actions. CodeRAD views like ChatRoomView allow for customization in a variety of ways, but the two primary methods are:

John Gray, writing for UnHerd: “As pre-Covid life fades into history, large sections of the professional classes face a version of the experience of those who became former persons in the abrupt historical shifts of the last century. The redundant bourgeoisie need not fear starvation or concentration camps, but the world they have inhabited is evanescing before their eyes. There is nothing novel in what they are experiencing. History is....

I took a break from playing Animal Crossing (albeit a short one) so that I could play with the new update to Super Mario Maker 2 (SMM2); the addition of SMB2, and its world creator. I’ve been looking for a new “short-ish” type project to work on while I take a break from other projects, … Continue reading "kAIzo: LMs, RNNs, & VAEs for generating kaizo SMM2 levels – World 1-1 LMs"

This blog post was originally posted on JetBrains .NET blog . In the two previous blog posts from this series, we discussed how socket errors and socket orders depend on the runtime and operating systems. For some, it may be obvious that some things are indeed specific to the operating system or the runtime, but often these issues come as a surprise and are only discovered when running our code on different systems.

Computers are funny things. At the lowest level they’re just a pile of ones and zeros that we assign meaning to. It’s something you can easily take for granted, but there’s a disconnect with how we talk about how things operate at the hardware level and then again at the software level. Since writing a compiler, I’ve been able to bridge that gap in part. The fundamental idea is that we represent some meaning in a concrete, though still hi....

When creating business cards, we have the freedom to choose any title we feel like reflects us best. Officially, many of us are “Quality Analysts”, or QAs. However, as we like to push back against the traditional “Quality Assurance” label, many of us picked alternative titles to make this point. Some of the titles are: Quality Alchemist, Question Authority or one we like in particular, Question Asker, because asking questions is a great way..

The past few weeks have seen multiple protests against lockdown measures across the US together with governors defying experts to start re-opening their economies. This could be politics-as-usual, or it could be the expression of underlying economic shifts affecting the balance of political power in the US.

Scale a list of numbers down proportionally (Python3)

It's sometimes desirable to see whether a set of numbers can be reduced down proportionally - so that their value is reduced without changing the ratio between them. In order to do this, you need to find the largest number that all numbers in the set can be divided by - known as the greatest common multiple (the gcm) or highest common factor (HCF). Once you've identified the HCF, it's simply a case of reducing each of the input numbers by..

Disambiguations are typically somewhat user-unfriendly, especially when a wiki has a relatively low percentage of pages that are disambiguated and so the presence of one is unexpected. Here I describe my method for improving quality of life when disambiguation links do appear.
