I’ve been writing on this iteration of my blog since 2015. That’s over five years - and one of the staples of this blog has been, since the second year, the end-of-year side income report.

Building — and adopting — a component library in the context of a vibrant business is no easy feat. Here are a few things we’ve learned. At a small startup, the timing is never quite right to start a component library. Extremely quick iteration is not usually associated with putting together a standardized set of components and conventions to use across your app, as your components and conventions change all the time in the frenzy of findi....

Over the past two decades, we’ve shifted from running servers bare metal to running them almost exclusively within virtual machines (VMs). More recently we’ve seen another shift to running servers within containers. Like VMs, containers are servers that contain a unique filesystem, IP stack and software. But unlike VMs, containers do not contain a full operating system or operating system kernel. Instead they rely on an underlying operating..

More so than any other level of the management chain, front-line engineering managers are the most attuned to the day to day realities of shipping software. Giving them a collective voice to surface what works and what doesn’t is critical to understanding the efficacy of organizational policy and process.

I needed to create multiple Github repositories and grant access to them for different users. After creating the first repository by hand and granting access to it, I had enough of it. There are just too many damn clicks! So I used the CLI . Github has a nice cli-program called gh. With it you can easily create new repositories: gh repo create --public user/repo Adding collaborators to the repository was a little bit harder since gh..

Let’s say we have two distributions $X$ and $Y$. In the previous post , we discussed how to express the “absolute difference” between them using the shift function and the shift distribution. Now let’s discuss how to express the “relative difference” between them. This abstract term also could be expressed in various ways. My favorite approach is to build the ratio function . In order to do this, for each quantile $p$, we should calculate..

So, i had this planned for a while to add some more math content to this blog. Mostly for the content I do in french, where I do a lot of school related content for the kids but also for here, in english, where I will likely need it later when adding content about recommender system and other ML topics. Anyway, figured out that Latex is the way to go usually when you want to do some maths in a paper, and well, turns out there is a library f..

I know meditation is good for me, but I’ve never been able to stick with the darn stuff. I just…don’t do it. I do something else - anything else - instead. I’m always too busy, or too anxious or excited to move on to other things.

OSM data offers a vast amount of information about our cities. In this guide I focus on working and styling OSM building data for 3D-modeling in Aerialod for close-to-reality models. Tl;dr: Use OSM building levels, emulate roofs with shapeburst effect and use Sketchfab for interactive 3D models

This post originally appeared on the strongDM engineering blog . Once upon a time, strongDM had no dedicated frontend engineers. We backend engineers dipped our toes in the React frontend as infrequently as possible. It relied on dusty, bespoke, private REST endpoints that returned schema-less JSON blobs. We let these languish while we built a shiny new public API with code-generated SDKs in five languages. Occasionally I was forced t..

Update: See Note 5 below . 157 GB/s is a misleading bandwidth due to the way fio lib handles the --filename option. Actual bandwidth is approximately 22 GB/s, which is still mighty impressive. I built a new server that's also going to serve as a NAS. It

As those that I have spoken with personally recently are well aware by now, I am working at TenneT at the System Operation Transport division, mainly on flowbased capacity calculation and bidding zone review topics. I have chosen TenneT because I wanted to play a part in something that both fascinates my and in which I hope to make a small difference for good: the energytransition and the energy market. The more I work on it the more I be..

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing. Oscar Wilde Welcome to part 8 of the series on “How to be a game changer”. You can find the previous posts here 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 . Growing up in post-socialist-turned-cowboy-capitalist Bulgaria, I grew up around a lot of cynical behavior and absorbed it deep into me. It was the water I was swimming in, and I knew no better.

A known thing - I am just posting this here as a reference Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. Readability counts. Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity. Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. In the face of ambigu..
