Wikipedia cites a few different sources on what “Unix Philosophy” is. Peter Salus summarizes it as: Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface. That second bullet point is my favorite: making composable programs rather than monolithic systems. In this way, Unix is designed to be a forge for easily building new tools. Th....

Mastodon is a decentralized, federated social network technology. With Twitter recently realizing its investor’s goals via an — unorthodox — sale to a wealthy entrepreneur and industrial scion with hard-right-leaning values, many people have wondered whether the platform will remain a useful or habitable place. Mastodon has been suggested as a possible Twitter replacement, and I’ve been trying to understand what, and more important where, M..

Motivation River is a Python library for online machine learning. One of the main features of River is its support for data streams, which are continuous streams of data that are produced and consumed in real-time. This makes it well-suited for handling large volumes of data, as well as for handling data that is generated continuously. I started contributing to the project in February 2019, mainly in the stats and time_series modules.

What Is Synthetic Data? Synthetic data is machine-generated data based on real-world data. It requires building a machine learning (ML) model to capture the patterns in the original, real data before generating new synthetic data based on these patterns. The generated data accurately represents the original data’s statistical distributions, patterns, and properties. Synthetic data is useful for applications facing privacy concerns – it is ....

Whether you think about them all the time or never at all – mountain bike brakes are what keep you alive on those gnarly descents. And while the whole braking system matters, I’m not going to talk about rotor sizes, 2-piston vs. 4-piston, or lever angle; I’m talking about the humble brake pad. I had long considered brake pad choice a foregone decision – resin (organic) pads are king and metal pads (sintered) are for Huffy! But t....

A few weeks ago, I added an "open with" command to dwim-shell-commands.el . It's pretty handy for opening files using an external app (ie. not Emacs) other than the default macOS one. dwim-shell-commands-macos-open-with and dwim-shell-commands-open-externally are typically enough for me to handle opening files outside of Emacs. But every now and then I'd like to change the default macOS app associated with specific file types. Now this....

WebAssembly defines a portable binary-code format for executable programs. It can be used to run languages that support WebAssembly in the browser. Thus, you are no longer restricted to only use JavaScript in the browser. In this article I want to show you which programming languages currently support WebAssembly.
