Introduction In episode 1, Miki had two functions that performed the similar operation, but returned different types. To refactor this, Miki rewrote both functions as a generic function that allowed him to specify the type to be returned during invocation. In some cases, the compiler may not recognise a type, thus, Miki gives a few pointers on manually telling a generic function which type to use. After demonstrating how to return differen..

For whatever reason, people always felt drawn to mysteries, especially unsolved ones. On this page I would like to collect the ones that drew me in, fascinated by the curiosities of life and tragedy. I fell into a rabbit whole the other day and was procrastinating on modern mysteries and search and rescue stories which I’d like to document here. It’s really interesting as a data point about our modern civilization, where we often get the fe..

This post classifies the different types of finite-sample consistency for robust scale estimators used as standard deviation replacements. Pragmastat’s Spread — the Shamos estimator — is Gaussian-consistent by construction. Confidence intervals are available via SpreadBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat Let us say we have a robust dispersion estimator $\operatorname{T}(X)$. If it is asymptotically con....

I’ve found an interesting question on Twitter, recently. Is there any performance impact of using FILTER in SQL (PostgreSQL, specifically), or is it just syntax sugar for a CASE expression in an aggregate function? As a quick reminder, FILTER is an awesome standard SQL extension to filter out values before aggregating them in SQL. This … Continue reading The Performance Impact of SQL’s FILTER Clause →

Last month I have been developing a Rust tool to create container images from Conda environments, without going through Docker. It was a wild trip down the rabbit hole of OCI images, so I thought I’d share part of the adventure here. Enjoy! But why? If you are used to building container images, you might be asking yourself why on earth someone would want to deviate from the well-trodden path of Dockerfiles.

This is a very brief post announcing a fascinating discovery. It appears to be possible to use the cosine similarity approach powering explore2.marginalia.nu as a substitute for the link graph in an eigenvector-based ranking algorithm (i.e. PageRank). The original PageRank algorithm can be conceptualized as a simulation of where a random visitor would end up if they randomly clicked links on websites. With this model in mind, the modifi..

This weekend I traveled to Brussels to attend FOSDEM 2023 , although only for the first day (Saturday 4th, 2023). It hasn’t been my first one, but it has been the first massive event I have attended after the COVID-19 pandemic. After the morning keynote, I had a quick look around the buildings where the event was hosted to visit the different stands of the many sponsors of the conference. Among the most interesting ones (for me personal....

Most services and systems that provide webhooks often lack a critical feature: telling you when it’s been changed or shut off. This is a particularly fragile and dangerous setup if you rely on receiving these events for rare but critical events.

There are several ways on how to schedule repeatable jobs in Nest.js. The official documentation suggests using @nestjs/schedule. This library offers an elegant CRON-based API, which should be familiar to most Nest.js developers. Look at how neat and simple this declarative API is: @Injectable() export class MyService { @Cron("* * * * * *") handleCron() { console.log("CRON is triggered"); } } With one line, we now have a method which will ..
