Statistical efficiency is a common measure of the quality of an estimator. Typically, it’s expressed via the mean square error ($\operatorname{MSE}$). For the given estimator $T$ and the true parameter value $\theta$, the $\operatorname{MSE}$ can be expressed as follows: $$ \operatorname{MSE}(T) = \operatorname{E}[(T-\theta)^2] $$ In numerical simulations, the $\operatorname{MSE}$ can’t be used as a robust metric because its breakdown poin....

Update: There's a DWIM follow-up for searching . I was a rather puzzled the first time I spotted DWIM in an Emacs interactive command name. Don't think I remember what the command itself was, but what's important here is that DWIM stands for do what I mean . I love DWIM interactive commands. They enable commands to be smarter and thus pack more functionality, without incurring the typical cognitive overhead associated with rememb....

CPU cycles are cheaper than they have ever been, and cloud computing has never been more ubiquitous. All the major cloud providers offer generous free tiers, and services like GitHub Actions offer free compute resources to open-source repositories. So why do so many developers still build software on their laptops? Despite the embarrassment of riches of cheap or even free cloud compute, most projects I know of, and most developers, still do..

I've talked about wanting to write this article in Bloggers Gathering for quite a while now, so, here it is. While it was clear I wanted to make some changes, as also stated in a previous post on here, some of the changes I made went differently than planned, while others were abolished in favour of an alternative. T.: A lot of them, actually. Or should I say all? ^^ Well, yes. Anyway, I will go into detail below. Website This list is....

Trade Wars 2002 was a great 1991 online game I hosted on one of my BBSes back in the day . Not sure if it was Lorien or Phoenix BBS; it might have been the latter given the game’s release date. I totally forgot TW2002 until yesterday when I spotted this 1991: Trade Wars 2002 article on the 50 Years of Text Games newsletter. I humbly confess that, until yesterday, I never made the obvious connection between TW2002 and Eve Online. ..

So I was exploring Telegram APIs for a project someone asked me to work on it. The script was actually a cron job that would be sending messages on daily basis. While working on it I found that you could come up with your own commands that can pull data from some remote API and display the results to Telegram users. I found this an opportunity for my next blog post which I am writing here 🙂 Telegram is very much similar to WhatsApp for comm....

How do you know you're using the correct data structure for your Python project? There are so many built into Python and even more that are importable from the collections module. This week on the show, David Amos is back, and he's brought another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects. We discuss a recent three-part video course on selecting the ideal data structure.

Just wanted to let you all know there was this petition here , basically aiming to abolish the outdated TSG (Transsexuellengesetz, "transsexual law") in favour of a more modern self-determination law. As currently, legal name and gender changes are extremely expensive (1000€ and above due to the requirement of two evaluations by mental health professionals) and time-intensive (about a year), this would be a huge step forward. You can also ..

A recent Hacker News post, Ask HN: Favorite Blogs by Individuals , led me to dust off my oldie but trusty command to extract comment links . I use it to dissect these wonderful references more effectively. You see, I wrote this command back in 2015 . We can likely revisit and improve. The enlive package continues to do a fine job fetching , parsing, and querying HTML. Let's improve my code instead… we can shed a few redundant bits....
