First: Avoid Being Chased Down # I live in Italy and, when I was a child, I didn’t really believe in Santa – I was already asking too many questions. I didn’t mind too much being a good child to receive nice gifts, but a few hundreds of kilometers from me, things were (are!) quite different. In the Eastern Alps, in Austria, Slovenia and other Slavic countries, naughty children are not gifted with black coal by the Befana , as in Italy.....

Flashing SAS Cards feels like a trip to the 90s, with all the peculiarities included. This particular LSI SAS9201-16e card left me puzzled, until I realized it is the Supermicro variant that needs special handling. Let's see if I can pull together the important pieces, so that those who come after me don't need to give up on their cards.

Sait Faik Abasıyanık is an acclaimed Turkish storyteller. A useless man is a collection of short stories that spans nearly two decades of the author’s output, offering a glimpse into his imaginative and troubled mind. His overflowing love for others (even sensual, with a preference for street kids) combined with a “mal de vivre” that pushes him towards self-destruction are apparent. His passion for the most popular areas of Istanbul an....

I have been editing the next science fiction book. The plan is to hire an editor to go through it as well, since the previous books made enough income to pay for that. Editing will be the first service I pay for in my self-publishing journey. If things continue to go well, I might start buying proper on-market covers as the next step (but I also really like designing my own covers, so we’ll see…it’s just that I know nothing I come up with w..

At a previous job, we had a new and fancy office. The light switches were state of the art. There was an on button, and a separate off button. When you pressed the on button, the lights would fade on. When you pressed the off button, they would fade off. In the cloud somewhere was two functions that presumably looked a bit like this: fun turnOnLamp() { while (!bright()) increaseBrightness(); } fun turnOffLamp() { while (!dark()) decreaseBr..

How to Solve It , but for operational incidents. Engineers with site reliability responsibilities are often faced with operational issues (incidents) that have an unknown cause and uncertain solution. How to Solve It is a classic work describing heuristics for solving mathematical problems. There have been adaptations of this book for different domains, but none yet for software-intensive operations. Within this study, we aim to build ....

Let’s set the stage first. So, it’s Tuesday night and I’m Command Tab-ing my way through 10 different apps, some with 3-4 windows, while trying to patch bugs in Lunar faster than the users can submit the reports. I’m definitely failing. I feel my brain pulsing and my ring finger going numb on the Tab key. I stop switching apps and just stare at the Xcode window, containing what I knew was Swift code but looked like gibberish right n....

There seem to be three kinds of Python developers: those unaware of type hints or have no opinion, ones that embrace them, and others who have an allergic reaction at the mention of them. Python is famously a dynamically typed language, but there are advantages to adding type hints to your code. This week on the show, we have Luciano Ramalho to discuss his recent talk titled, "Type hints, protocols, and good sense."

This explains how to configure multiple keyboards in Sway, and how to use advanced configuration when regular xkb_options are not enough. Sway configuration Luckily, Sway has great support for multiple keyboards with different layouts, so it nicely adjusts to whatever keyboard you have plugged in or can use separate configurations for a physical keyboard and the laptop keyboard. First, identify the identifiers for the keyboards you have....

I have been a backend + infra engineer working with Kubernetes via Google Cloud’s managed service: GKE for the past few years. I am also a (Ubuntu) Linux user for both the desktop and servers. I am familiar with basic linux commands, bash, tmux and vim. The primary motivations for me were

Update: the final paper was published in Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation (DOI: 10.1080/03610918.2022.2050396 ). Since the beginning of this year, I have been working on building a quantile estimator that provides an optimal trade-off between statistical efficiency and robustness. Finally, I have built such an estimator. A paper preprint is available on arXiv: arXiv:2111.11776 [stat.ME] . The paper source c..

Comments Logic How people think has been on the mind of philosophers for ages. Aristotle had the most famous works on logic for around 2000 years. In the 1600’s Gottfried Leibniz attempted to improve on Aristotle’s logic by simplifying it and representing it in mathematical notation. Two hundred years later George Boole further simplified Leibniz’s logic and notation into what we know today as Boolean algebra. Every introduction to c..
