When I feel I am no longer learning I know it is likely time for me to either look at how my current role can change or time to look for a new role.

Selected {subject, relation, object} tuples generated by COMET Paper link: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.05317 This paper describes COMET, a method of generating knowledge bases automatically. Previous work largely focused on encyclopedic knowledge, which has well-defined relationships. This paper, however, focuses on commonsense knowledge. In this paper the authors introduce a “commonsense transformer” which trains on a knowledge base..

JDK Mission Control (JMC) is invaluable for analysing performance data recording using JDK Flight Recorder (JFR). The other day, I ran into a problem when trying to run JMC on my Mac Mini M1. Mostly for my own reference, here’s what I did to overcome it.

This post evaluates the relative efficiency of the Hodges–Lehmann estimator against the sample median under the normal distribution. In Pragmastat, this estimator is Center — the recommended robust location estimator with a 29% breakdown point and 95% asymptotic efficiency. Confidence intervals are available via CenterBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat In this post, we evaluate the relative statistic..

What is CockroachDB under the hood? Take a look at its go.mod and notice a number of dependencies that do a lot of work: a PostgreSQL wire protocol implementation , a storage layer , a Raft implementation for distributed consensus . And not part of go.mod but still building on 3rd party code, PostgreSQL's grammar definition . To be absurdly reductionist, CockroachDB is just the glue around these libraries. With that reductionist m....

The quality of your recorded audio for an at home podcaster is a black art. Audio is a fundamentally analog process and Once upon a time, in the antediluvian ages of podcasting (2005 / 2006), I was a podcaster. And then, a decade later, my friend Nick Janetakis, a producer of online courses also taught me a bunch of things about audio quality. Here's one thing to know: You will tell yourself that you can clean up the audio later. T....

In the David Perell podcast with Daniel Gross they also talked about forcing functions. They started by discussing why Israel seems to be so strong in the tech industry and whether their unique circumstances may be the cause. They talked about how they approach problems as they are forced to deal with the consequences if they don’t - compared to other nations that try to solve problems as they may be impacted by them at some point in the fu..

Well, Crap, what a waste of time One would guess that I should have known better with the work experience I accumulated in the software engineering field. But, it’s Friday evening, after our social team meeting, and I am still excited to finish something substantial for this feature that I’m working. Lots of moving parts, refactored code, loose ends, and hastily glued together code without any safety net. A couple of new unit tests for t..

Memoirs of Hadrian and its author Marguerite Yourcenar have always induced a cautious fear in me. I fretted the tome for high literary circles, one of those texts so infused with learned quotations and obscure literary references as to be utterly indigestible to the average reader. Despite their evident reputation, I relegated the Memoirs to the bottom of my reading list for a long time. When I stumbled on another reference to Yourcenar’s w..

I have a sweet tooth and one candy I really enjoy is Strawberry Sour Punch. Unfortunately after twenty years of having the same formula it seems that the company has decided to change the formula for Sour Punch. The new candy has more of a cherry flavor and isn't as sour. It does not taste […]

Why does everything have to be so hard on arm64? Well, maybe not directly hard, but a lot more work. And the reason is simple, we live almost in a amd64 monoculture. Mobile phones are changing that, as is Apple M1, but also arm64 servers.

A couple of weeks ago I was working on adding SSH Certificate Authentication support to Wish , and did not find any good, to the point documentation on how to use certificates from the Go SSH client — hence this post.

Using litestream to deliver robust web app hosting with the performance of embedded sqlite3 seems to be the hot thing right now . It makes sense: for most apps we build today sqlite with backups will perform as well or better than an isolated database like mysql or postgres. The secret is in the fact that the network overhead for each sql query is zero. With sqlite, the database is accesses directly in process. Multiple instances can sti....

I have been interested in the use of gamification to achieve things for a while. Given my son’s love of the Xbox I have also wondered if it could be used in some way to help him study.

Tl/Dr: It’s on the network! But in my analysis, I fell victim to my own bias. Picking up from last weekend, I play with the ESP32-POE-EA board from Olimex using the Espressif FreeRTOS ESP-IDF Framework .
