I’m in the midst of rebuilding the index of my search engine to allow for better search results, and I’ve yet again found need to revisit how I handle link farms. It’s an ongoing arms race between search engines and link farmers to adjust (and circumvent) the detection algorithms. Detection and mitigation of link farms is something I’ve found I need to modify very frequently, as they are constantly evolving to look more like real websites.

Estimating quantile confidence intervals: Maritz-Jarrett vs. jackknife

4 years ago

eng
When it comes to estimating quantiles of the given sample, my estimator of choice is the Harrell-Davis quantile estimator (to be more specific, its trimmed version ). If I need to get a confidence interval for the obtained quantiles, I use the Maritz-Jarrett method because it provides a decent coverage percentage . Both approaches work pretty nicely together. However, in the original paper by Harrell and Davis (1982) , the authors su..

That one day my fridge decided to give up but blasting me with hot air right when I wanted to put food in there. Thermostat failed in a really funny way. It refused to turn the cooler on, but decided to get hot itself. I spent half a day trying to find a replacement part, for such a simple thing as GE thermostat I found no help. I couldn’t ID it, repair shops or ebay were to no help.

The earliest known version of the idiom “the straw that broke the camel’s back” was written by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury in 1677, though it was concerned with horses and feathers: “The last Dictate of the Judgement, concerning the Good or Bad, that may follow on any Action, is not properly the whole Cause , but the last Part of it, and yet may be said to produce the Effect necessarily , in such Manner as the ....

Back when I had a LinkedIn account, I’d see a familiar question populate my inbox from recruiters looking to fill engineering manager positions. In fact, I saw this question so often that I finally decided to answer it…sort of. What would you say are 3-5 traits every great manager must possess? My cop-out answer is: I don’t know yet. I’m still learning and am still a relatively young manager, making mistakes, adjusting, repeat. Bu....

Greetings. I'm a janny on another minor imageboard and I'm thinking of writing a new imageboard. I want to make this a serious alternative to lynxchan and the vichan derivatives (incl. lainchan) due to being dissatisfied with their architecture, maintainability and dated UX/UI. I've been soliciting feedback from my fellow jannies and they told me to come here to ask you folks what you think, and I think I would like to include feedback f..

I’m struck by how easy it is to read things on Gemini. Not just skimming, but actual reading, like you would a book. Not everything written is great, but it’s usually worth reading all the same. Venturing out into the land of contemporary HTML is different, and it’s not a subtle difference. I’ve written before about the plague of inline links on Wikipedia, and this is largely a continuation of that discourse looking at other design elemen..

If you want to have a python webserver running locally and listening on port 80 – or any other port < 1024, you can do it like this: $ sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/python3.8 This gives the /usr/bin/python3.8 binary the ability to bind to privileged ports without being root. Note that this only works for real files, not symlinks, so this will probably not work, as python is generally a symlink: $ sudo s....

From Christian Tietze's Open macOS Finder Window in Emacs Dired , I learned about reveal-in-osx-finder . This is handy for the few times I want to transition from Emacs to Finder for file management. I say few times since Emacs's directory editor, dired , is just awesome. I've written about dired customizations here and here , but since dired is just another buffer, you can apply your Emacs magic like multiple cursors to batch rena....

In software engineering, we’re often faced with trade-offs that sacrifice what is best for the long term against something that increases velocity in the short term. A commonly used financial analogy is describing this as taking on technical debt. I will not cover accidental and deliberate tech debt, neither will I give a decision making framework in this article. That is its own subject, and context specific. However, there is a mental fra..

Growing up in Iceland in the nineties, it was impossible not to hear about Eve Online, the game that was going to do what at the time sounded impossible. A massively multiplayer online role playing game set in a persistent world where enterprising captains would roam space in their giant spaceships, striking out in any which way they wanted. Truly the vision that had been behind the classic game Elite.

Did you just finish reading the gRPC Basics tutorial and you don’t know where to begin with using it? In this post I’ll explain how to take a fast time-series database called tstorage and write a gRPC server and client with it.

We will take what we learned in the previous post and rewrite it to support interprocess communication of our SparkFun Weather Shield from other applications using the gRPC .
