People who work with me tend to realize that I have Opinions about databases, and SQL databases in particular. Last week, I wrote about a Postgres debugging story and tweeted about AWS’ policy ban on internal use of SQL databases, and had occasion to discuss and debate some of those feelings on Twitter; this article is an attempt to write up more of them into a single place I can refer to.

The outdated version of snakeyaml contains a Denial of Service vulnerability. We highly recommend that you update snakeyaml to version 1.26 or higher to prevent this problem.

Introduction Anytime you have an auction, you have the potential for the winner’s curse , a simple, yet surprising, statistical phenomenon. Despite its simplicity, the effect can have significant financial implications for anyone participating in auctions. We care about the winner’s curse at NextRoll because we participate in about 100,000 ad auctions per second. In this post, we explain the curse and explore the way it manifests itself....

In one of the previous posts , I discussed winsorized Harrell-Davis quantile estimator. This estimator is more robust than the classic Harrell-Davis quantile estimator. In this post, I want to suggest another modification that may be better for some corner cases: the trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator.

When I first introduced Self , I mentioned that Self is a programming language which employs prototype-based inheritance ; it does not depend on a class-instance distinction to facilitate object-oriented programming, but rather, it uses a prototype object from which copies are created. The methods associated with a prototype is stored in a traits object which is just another object storing methods that can be used on a prototype and a....

Recently I’ve been helping out with a linear algebra course organized by Tai-Danae Bradley and Jack Hidary, and one of the questions that came up a few times was, “why should programmers care about the concept of a linear combination?” For those who don’t know, given vectors $ v_1, \dots, v_n$, a linear combination of the vectors is a choice of some coefficients $ a_i$ with which to weight the vectors in a sum $ v = \sum_{i=1}^n a_i v_i$.

Phil and Jeremy both turned 50 this year. They took the opportunity to write some half-century notes. Having turned 50 myself and inspired by them, I thought I would do the same. 0-10 I see the light 50 years ago in Molise, a southern region of Italy that also happens to be the smallest and less known. One year later, my brother joins the family. Our parents are from a small village in Molise heights. When I am three, my family moves t....

English Recently, my psychologist, after hearing about the amount of trouble I went through with my gender transition, especially in finding out whom to talk to in order to for medical and legal measures, suggested to me that I could try to start a sort of self-help group in order to help other people facing similar issues, which after all was how many queer support groups started existing. I honestly was not too intrigued by the idea at f....

In the early 90s, when I was in elementary school, I got assigned to write a report on a topic of my choosing. I decided to write about computer viruses. There weren’t many books at the time I could use as sources, but I found Levy’s “Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution” One thing from the book that stuck with me was “You can create art and beauty on a computer”.

Time for an update on the Retro Gaming project. It’s been almost four months since we started and it’s been, predictably, lots of fun. What with work and school and everything else, we have very little time for playing computer games. That, combined with a fairly dry winter & spring letting us get outside more, means that even with the Covid-19 pandemic curtailing activities, we haven’t clocked very many hours of playtime. Favourite Game....

When we talk about getting better at programming, we often talk about testing, writing reusable code, design patterns, and readability. All of those things are important. But in this blog post, I want to talk about a different way to get better at programming: learning how the systems you’re using work! This is the main way I approach getting better at programming. Once again, Julia Evans has great sensible advice up on her site .

Readers of my site may have noticed the many references to Guy Debord in my writing over the years, and especially since 2016. This is largely because I’ve been writing a new edition of his 1967 book The Society of the Spectacle adapted for our present moment. This edition is out now on the web . A hardcover edition will be going on sale at my publisher, █ Unredacted Word and other book sellers later in April. In this book, Debord des....
