Robust statistics is a practical and pragmatic branch of statistics. If you want to design reliable and trustworthy statistical procedures, the knowledge of robust statistics is essential. Unfortunately, it’s a challenging topic to learn. In this post, I share my favorite books on robust statistics. I cannot pick my favorite one: each book is good in its own way, and all of them complement each other. I am returning to these books periodi..

It's been roughly a decade since I wrote any significant amount of JavaScript. Back then, I primarily relied on the Google Closure Compiler , now maybe an archaeological artefact? These days, it's hard not to bump into any JavaScript project that doesn't rely on npm , along with many other tools like the Typescript compiler, ESLint , Prettier … There are a ton of available frameworks too. I was somewhat put off (or maybe just lazy?) b....

In the world of software engineering, architectures play a significant role in determining how a system will behave and perform. One such architecture that has gained popularity in recent years is event-driven architecture (EDA). It is a paradigm that enables developers to build systems that are more scalable, flexible, and responsive.

When teaching someone how to do something, don't say that "it's easy". If it were easy for them, they wouldn't be asking you for help. Even though you're trying to reassure them that it isn't actually that hard, you're starting from different places. For example, take calculus. Once you've learned some calculus, you have the mental framework, and you know what pitfalls to avoid. Someone encountering it for the first time is going to e..

Picture this. You’ve got a supermicro server. It’s got eight hot-swappable 3.5" HDD’s. You want to use all of those for storage, so you buy a nifty add-on that let’s you add four additional 2.5" SSD’s. Those are great for your OS. That’s a great way to keep your data separate. The motherboard only supports eight drives, so you’ll need an HBA for the additional four… What are some catches and things you need to watch out for?

People often come to me asking "I love the idea of Clojure, but how do you write code without types ?". I struggle to answer this question. I have no idea what they're talking about half the time. The nuance of strong and weak typing, and static

This is a guest post from Doug Durham. Enjoy. Dear new developer, It’s very easy to throw terms around in our (or any) industry. In our hurried culture, we latch onto words or phrases that may not fully encapsulate their original intent. I’m afraid that is what has happened to the label of “software engineer”. … Continue reading What We Mean When We Say “Software Engineer” →

A customer called us, quite upset, because their RavenDB cluster was failing every few minutes. That was weird, because they were running on our cloud offering, so we had full access to the metrics, and we saw absolutely no problem on our end. During the call, it turned out that every now and then, but almost always immediately after a new deployment, RavenDB would fail some requests. On a fairly consistent basis, we could see two failure....

Hi, Ich habe mal ein Backend zu zweit entwickelt. Es war das Backend von Sunrise Village . Bereits in der Pre-production schloss ich mich dem Team an. Gemeinsam mit meinem damaligen Kollegen. Über drei Jahre war das unser Backendteam. Die anderen Teams waren größer. Wir hatten bis zu 8 Frontendentwickler, ähnlich viele Artists, zwei Gamedesigner, Productowner, Productmanager und 2 Testautomatisierer. Und selbst, dass wir nur zu ..

Recently a well known participant in the dutch energy debate, lector Martien Visser, wrote tweets and a column setting out his view that the current day ahead market design is not a good business case for NL anymore. He is not the only one, this sentiment is widespread on social media. While I do agree that in a RES dominated system it could be possible to have a better tweaked market mechanism, I disagree that the current one is a very..

I recently read a post from vercel about porting turborepo to rust . In that post, they mention calling a go binary from the rust code instead of having to deal with FFI and C type compatibility. I wrote a post called “ Use a subprocess instead of a dependency ”, which follows a similar philosophy, although applied to something different. Here are some extra notes related to the vercel post. As an example, I’ll use a Python app that want..

I hate hackerrank and geeksforgeeks. They're filled with corporate climbing weirdos trying to get a high score for HR and tons of people who google the answers and solve them. I just can't stand these sorts of people aside from their obvious social damage I just plain don't like them. I'd much prefer a site where people don't have a lot of ego or career goals involved and just want to solve problems... or even get stumped. I used to..

macOS AirPlay Receiver now listens on port 5000 by default, which conflicts with the default port used by some frameworks (like Flask). This may cause some confusion if you’re trying to forward port 5000 from a different VM machine and you don’t see anything in your browser. To fix it, you need to uncheck the option in System Preferences -> Sharing -> AirPlay Receiver. Then it works again, otherwise, if you try to make something listen on..

Why is my site’s markup polygot XHTML5? I have had to deal with some really awful user-agents: Bespoke markup parsers in RSS readers. Link previews in obscure messaging apps.

Most of my issues were solved by running my generated markup through both xmllint (XML syn..

Most of us who work in technology fields such as software development, systems administration, and cybersecurity often listen to music while we work at our computer. After all, music stimulates many parts of our brains, including the limbic system responsible for alertness, emotion, and memory. Psychologists have also shown that music also reduces anxiety and blood pressure, as well as improves mood. However, to make the most out of it,..
