This post introduces the middle non-zero quantile absolute deviation (MNZQAD) as a scale measure robust to ties in discrete distributions. For continuous data, Pragmastat recommends Spread — the Shamos estimator — with a 29% breakdown point. Confidence intervals are available via SpreadBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat Median absolute deviation ($\operatorname{MAD}$) around the median is a popular r....

A couple of months ago, I accidentally stepped on my Kindle Voyage E-reader and cracked the screen on the edge. The E ink display itself was working fine, but the touchscreen stopped functioning, which made it impossible to control. What can we do with such a device before adding it to the pile of E-waste? Repurpose a broken Kindle as a photo frame, showing a picture of the village Spakenburg. Jailbreak Fortunately, there is a j....

I don’t have many people reading my blog, on most days I get about 5 visitors. Why on earth should I keep writing articles? The chance of landing a job is slim and I certainly won’t earn any revenue from the site.

Here lies melancholy that I put to paper from a particularly deep hole, not too long ago. It may ruin your day, or it may make you feel a little bit understood about your dark moments. Your mileage will vary.

In the Reddit comments for the original Command Line Flags post there was an interesting discussion about what to do for positional parameters when the user wants to pass an argument that matches an existing flag. /u/AlmaemberTheGreat pointed out the standard way to do this in the Unix world is to handle a pseudo-flag: --. The intent being when -- is encountered the remaining command line arguments should be interpreted positionally. ..

Unless you're a very particular kind of person, project management and system infrastructure are the last things on your mind when you undertake a new side project or startup. For a side project, the fun is in taking the motivation from having an idea, prototyping an MVP as

I’ve been back at the forge working on Eve 2.0. Version 2 will support Python 3.7+ and drop Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6. It will bring support for PyMongo 4+ as well, along with several other minor fixes and improvements ( changelog ). It would be nice if you guys and gals, users of Eve, would give it a spin before the release. I know. I recently stated that Eve was in maintenance mode. All of those considerations still apply, but what can ..

A lot of the time, when engineers think of performance work, we think about looking at benchmarks and making the numbers smaller. We anticipate that we are benchmarking the right pieces of code, and we take it for granted that reducing some of those numbers is a benefit, but also "the root of all evil" if done prematurely. If you are a performance-focused software engineer, or you are working with performance engineers, it can help to und..

Introduction This is the first post in a series that will explore the semantics and implementation details of the Ardan blockchain project. The code is a reference implementation of a blockchain and not intended to mirror any specific blockchain in use today. Even though the code has been engineered with production level coding standards, I wouldn’t use this project for anything more than learning. I am using the Ethereum project as ..

An artist, fed up with his Art not being Real, decided to work on only one painting for the rest of his life. “The paint needs to come alive! It needs to be Real!” he shouted in his empty studio. The artist hadn’t seen another person for many days. Many of his friends and colleagues […]

Technology is—and ought to be—the /byproduct/ of far more important, powerful, and deep-rooted aspects of organisations — including wholesale societies. The pandemic of technology-solutionism gleefully embraced and amplified by all and sundry makes me believe that people seem to have decided it's the other way around.

For the past two-ish years, I’ve used the Kitty terminal by Kovid Goyal , and I have been happy with it. I started using it because it’s fast and because otherwise, it was good enough. However, the latest version (0.24.2) has some bugs, or at least, the Gentoo packaging of it does. These bugs include: Failure to render text already on the screen when the size changes.
