A day late - but here, unlike last week. Here’s what I read that I found interesting over the past week.

How well do you know Python's math module? Maybe you've used a few of the constants or arithmetic functions. You may be surprised by the amount of functionality hiding within this built-in library, and perhaps you don't need to reach for an additional outside library. This week on the show, David Amos is back, and he's brought another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.

I’m pretty psyched about the upcoming .NET6 release. I’ve already touched on ASP.NET 6 Minimal APIs. Continuing on the long-established tradition, the team has also worked hard on the performance side of things. File IO, for example, is seeing impressive gains : For .NET 6, we have made FileStream much faster and more reliable, thanks to an almost entire re-write. For same cases, the async implementation is now a few times faster! We..

If you’re an avid reader of the blog (and come on, who isn’t?), you’ll know that I’ve been maintaining a snap for Nextcloud since Nextcloud came into existence. Originally, though, that snap wasn’t called “nextcloud”, it was called “nextcloud-kyrofa”. My original goal was that I would bootstrap the snap for them, and then they’d take it over when they were ready. I hosted the code as a personal project on GitHub.

I’m currently indexing with my search engine. This isn’t an always-on sort of an affair, but rather something I turn on and off as it tends to require at least some degree of babysitting. I’ve also been knocked out by the side-effects of the vaccine shot I got the other day, so it’s been mostly hands-off “parenting”. What I’m trying to figure out just how far I can take it. I really don’t know. I took some backups and just let it do its..

Welcome to the 197th Carnival of Mathematics! 197 is an unseemly number, as you can tell by the Wikipedia page which currently says that it has “indiscriminate, excessive, or irrelevant examples.” How deviant. It’s also a Repfigit, which means if you start a fibonacci-type sequence with the digits 1, 9, 7, and then continue with $ a_n = a_{i-3} + a_{i-2} + a_{i-1}$, then 197 shows up in the sequence. Indeed: 1, 9, 7, 17, 33, 57, 107, 197, …

Over the past few years, we have spent several hackweeks writing, improving, and maintaining multiple open-source rebar3 plugins for the Erlang community, such as the formatter , Elvis , or Hank . Particularly for Hank, we even wrote an academic paper that, with the help of Laura M. Castro , I recently presented at the latest edition of the ICFP Erlang Workshop . The most recent HackWeek was not an exception. That’s why I’m writi....

I vividly remember the first time I was issued a BlackBerry smartphone back in the 2000s for work. I’d read emails while in line at the Pita shop during lunch hour, formulating a plan and response before I returned to my desk to reply. For emails that required a quick response, I’d hammer out a response on the BlackBerry keyboard while in line. And having access to my Outlook calendar on the BlackBerry meant that I could view, schedule and ..

I recently wanted to share a code-snippet with a colleague. I decided to use Gitlab Snippets for this. However the snippet was more of some hundred lines of code in a text-file which I didn’t want to simply copy-paste. Lucky for me I had python-gitlab installed, a Python library and CLI -tool to interact with Gitlab instances. # Copy the contents of an existing file (readme.md) into a new snippet with the title "title" and filename "r..

There was a need to iterate over the hosts in an Ansible inventory-file (don’t ask). After fiddling around with grep and sed, I found an easier method: ansible-inventory --list all | jq " ._meta.hostvars| keys[]" ansible-inventory --list all lists all hosts including their variables in a nice big json response. jq " ._meta.hostvars" then filtersonly for these variables: { "host01": { "list_variable": [ "195.13.41.220", "195.13.41...

Quantile estimators based on k order statistics, Part 5: Improving trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator

eng
During the last several months, I have been experimenting with different variations of the trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator. My original idea of using the highest density interval based on the fixed area percentage (e.g., HDI 95% or HDI 99%) led to a set of problems with overtrimming . I tried to solve them with manually customized trimming strategy, but this approach turned out to be too inconvenient; it was too hard to come u....

Taking shortcuts? Leaving edge-cases unconsidered and unhandled? Is this engineering?! My approach to programming and software engineering has been shaped by years of building open source compilers and libraries , where those edge cases matter, reliability is crucial and flexibility is important. It’s been a breath of fresh air to take a step back and stop thinking about every detail, and instead write code that works for a specific se....

Anyway, our problem is that we used to be relatively certain we wanted to study computer science, however....
