I've been blogging for 14 years now. I started off writing in Romanian, while I was in highschool. I credit writing all those posts with helping me get a really good grade at my Romanian exam at the end of high school. Then in university, I wrote a

Conferences are a great place to meet new people, especially in the spaces surrounding the talks. What can we do to improve the 'hallway track'?

I've created a small library called reactive-prompt that lets you easily manage prompts in a reactive way, similar to how you'd build a web app with React. It uses Preact's Signals to track changes to inputs and automatically re-runs prompts when those inputs update. This allows for efficient chaining of prompts, where the output of one becomes the input of another, and only necessary prompts are re-evaluated. The library currently uses Ch..

I have a piece of code that has been living, rent-free, in my head for the past 30 years or so. In middle school (I was 12 - 13 at the time), I was taught Pascal as the entry-level programming language. I found it to be a really fascinating topic, as you can imagine. One of the things I did was try to read other people’s code and see what sense I could make out of it. That was way before the Internet was a thing, though. Even at that t....

One evening back in January I finally had enough of thermal issues within my homelab server. You know, every time the computer fans make more noise than I think they should, I can’t help but investigate ! Also, the RTX4090 is so thick that it takes 3 PCIe slots worth of space on a typical motherboard - and you also need space for the airflow! I was using the same machine that achieved 11M IOPS & 66 GB/s IO on a Single ThreadRipper Works..

While most of my Emacs workflows are typically keyboard-driven, I'm fairly pragmatic about mouse usage. My MacBook's trackpad is great for just kicking back to read and scroll through text. There are brief times, however, when that keyboard-driven muscle memory overlaps my mouse usage, resulting in a buffer catastrophe. I joke of course. What I'm actually referring to is nothing more than a slight annoyance. There are times when I inadver....

TLDR: A sparse autoencoder is just a regular autoencoder that encourages sparsity with an L1 penalty or KL divergence loss rather than using a low-dimensional bottleneck.

I added Twitter syndication, and because I have nothing to test it with I’ll share some random life updates. My daughter was born recently, which means I’m on paternity leave for a few months. Hopefully in the liminal hours of sleep training, I’ll have some time to work on my book. Or at least catch up on reading. I finally published my grandmother’s autobiography. I doubt anyone outside of my family will want to read it, but it’s available..

Regular expressions are on of the most powerful tools in a developer's toolkit. But let's be honest, regex kind of sucks to write. Not only is it hard to write, but it's also hard to read and debug too. So how can we make it easier to use? In its

It seems Google Timeline for Web Maps will be going away. Which means I will no longer be able to check on the status of my globe-trotting adventures on the web.

I switched my blog’s commenting system to use Giscus . It’s still backed by Github (Discussions) as “storage”, but it doesn’t request wide Github permissions from commenters (like Utterances used to do). I didn’t migrate old comments over, but they’re still available here: https://github.com/tanelpoder/blog-comments/issues/ For current/latest comments, just scroll to the bottom of the blog entries (or browse the corresponding GitHu..

I think it’s clear that ASIO is both one of the most important libraries in C++ yet to achieve standardization, and one of the worst documented C++ libraries to ever hold such a prestigious position. Trying to learn the ins-and-outs of ASIO’s model without spending arduous amounts of time reading the source code is borderline impossible. Learning the best practices for use cases beyond the trivial examples is Sisyphean. The state of thing..
