Some notes on earphones related to the last post : The aforementioned noise-canceling earbuds are Sony WF-1000XM4. They're really good at noise-canceling, obviously, and the ambient sound mode actually amplifies the outside since the isolation is pretty strong on its own. I got mine bundled with my phone (Xperia 5 IV), which you can see also suffers Sony's inability to name products with anything more meaningful than a glorified serial n..

I recently got some new noise-canceling earbuds, and they are terrifyingly effective. Although I have thoughts on sound quality, technology, whatever, this post is not about that. It's about how when I walk down the street and tap my left earbud, it only takes seconds to eject me from this world. A polite robot announces, Noise canceling . A light swell of static obscures outside sounds. But as the static fades, the noise of the world do....

Often times, software engineers are faced with the prospect of adding new functionalities or checking in new code that seems to be beneficial but are not core to the product, things like additional settings, corner cases, functionality for power users, etc.

Networking events in NYC and the conversations haven't really given me what I was looking for. In the spirit of doing, I decided to try and create a new event which would be a better fit for what I want to attend.

Imagine you work with some data and assume that the underlying distribution is approximately normal. In such cases, the data analysis typically involves non-robust statistics like the mean and the standard deviation. While these metrics are highly efficient under normality, they make the analysis procedure fragile: a single extreme value can corrupt all the results. You may not expect any significant outliers, but you can never be 100% sure..

Introduction Go interfaces are beneficial to Go developers because they: Allow interfaces to separate mechanism from behavior. Increase flexibility of function parameters. Enable mocking of function parameters. With the addition of generics in Go 1.18, interfaces can be used to constrain the types of values a generic function will accept. To dive deeper into Go interfaces, we invite you to join Miki in his latest series dedicated to Go..

When you first create a status page, it’s probably because you want to communicate outages to your customers. The faster you can share details about an outage, the sooner your customers know what’s going on, and the more effectively they can handle the outage. Communicating promptly – in clear language – builds trust. And as a young company with a customer centric focus, that’s your top priority. So why is it that as an industry, we no ....

I wanted to practice making coding videos so I did a four-part series on writing a basic Scheme-like language (minus macros and arrays and tons of stuff). I picked this simple topic because I wanted a low-stakes way to learn what I did not know about making videos. Here was the end result (nothing crazy): $ go build $ cat examples/fib . scm ( func fib ( a ) ( if ( < a 2 ) ....

As the title says, I program in Java, I have learned a lot of programming languages since (Scheme, Common Lisp, ANSI C, Python, bash scripting), but the only language in which I could finish some projects and not be constantly frustrated is Java. I do find Java (and my IDE Eclipse) easy and comfy, meanwhile C, which I tried for a project, was just frustrating. I needed to make a gui, in java I would just make a window with swing or javafx ....

Just some updates on my fiction writing “adventures”. Writing pace and schedule My writing pace and schedule have not been very reliable since I started. I went through several months of failed draft attempts, in which nothing got published. What finally kicked me into gear was a story I committed to for an anthology. I drafted that story almost entirely on my AlphaSmart Neo last year, while visiting Glastonbury Tor. I wrote from the hill..

Steve Sanderson, the original creator of Blazor, recently posted a quick peek at some of the new Blazor prototypes they are experimenting with for .NET 8. I think this looks great. Mixing client and server is a brilliant concept. Essentially one would be served with server-side Blazor on the first landing. While using the app, a background task would download the client-side stuff, ready to be consumed at any subsequent access.
