I have no clue if this idea is original or not. It may not be. On Sunday, I had a flash of insight: what if we could use the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) algorithm to factor an integer N? How could we make it do that? The answer was clear: make sure all of the possible factors, the primes up to the sqrt(N), are in one of the arguments to the GCD algorithm. In other words, we need to run GCD on N and the primorial that includes al..

In this mini-series I will walk you through some habits I replaced in recent times, which have shown to pay off and make me a more productive programmer/power-user of my computer. All these changes should be easy to gradually adopt, so I would highly recommend checking them out.

I recently attended the fully virtual Microsoft Build conference. There is no way I would have been able to attend the real “physical” conference due to the location, financial commitment and time required however this gave me an opportunity to benefit from something normally out of my reach.

Megan McArdle making a great point, writing for The Atlantic: “If you see a person — or a company — doing something that seems completely and inexplicably boneheaded, then it’s unwise to assume that the reason must be that everyone but you is a complete idiot who is blind to fairly trivial insights such as ”people desire inexpensive and conveniently available movie services, and will resist having those services made more expensive, or ..

In a draft titled Starting Over , I try to condense a decade’s worth of outdoor gear experience. The 8,000 word missive, started in 2017, highlights “The Gear I Would Buy if I Had to Do it All Over Again”. After thousands of dollars spent searching for the best of the best, it tries help those just starting out avoid some of the expensive lessons I had to learn. That post has not left my drafts folder, though, in part because the list keep..

I just finished writing a year-in-review blog post for the Penn Labs blog. For some context, Penn Labs is a student-run software development group that builds apps and websites to help students navigate life on campus. For the past year, I’ve been one of the two co-directors of Labs, managing the operations and direction of the organization.

My mom has a tendency to buy these really terribly spec’d Windows machines. She’s been doing it for as long as I’ve been alive. I was surprised when on one of our latest Zoom calls she said “You know what, I’m beginning to think that size matters.” I’ve only been telling her this for years! Here’s the problem. There are a bunch of shitty Windows machines you can buy that cost around $400 dollars and have something like 4GB RAM. For consum....

The downhill started with a challenge. A year ago, I wanted to do more experiments with my writing. After a change of occupation, I was looking for a change in writing too. I didn’t feel much like writing in the old format I’ve been using - pondering on interesting phenomena. A lot of it didn’t have a direct impact on my life and I felt bored of writing. I turned to cooking for inspiration. Those who know me on a personal level know t....

Hello there! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!

Per the overlapping interfaces proposal, Go 1.14 now permits embedding of interfaces with overlapping method sets. This is a brief post explain what this change means: Let’s start with the definition of the three key interfaces from the io package; io.Reader, io.Writer, and io.Closer: Just as embedding a type inside a struct allows the embedded type’s […]

UPDATE: The snippets in this post are outdated. See ob-swiftui for better SwiftUI babel support . ✨ Chris Eidhof twitted a handy snippet that enables quickly bootstrapping throwaway SwiftUI code. It can be easily integrated into other tools for rapid experimentation. Being a SwiftUI noob, I could use some SwiftUI integration with my editor of choice. With some elisp glue and a small patch, Chris's snippet can be used to generate S....

Masks have become a hot issue. Here’s my 2¢. Summary # I think everyone should wear a mask, unless they have a compelling medical reason not to. Look at it this way: a mask will either help you and those around you, or it will do no harm—beyond a little social awkwardness. If we look at the trade-offs in a game-theory-style matrix, we get: | | Masks Help | Masks don’t help | |——————-+————+——————| | Wear a mask | +100 | 0....

Every now and then, I need to do some basic stuff in Java and I wonder what is the best way to this. This happened to me a few days ago! I needed to simply get the sum of a List of numbers and I found out there are a number of ways — pun intended — to do this.

In my book I discuss the importance of context in reading and writing mathematics. An early step in becoming comfortable with math is deciphering the syntax of mathematical expressions. Another is in connecting the symbols to their semantic meanings. Embedded in these is the subproblem of knowing what to call the commonly used symbols. The more abstract you go, the more exotic the symbols tend to get. Wikipedia has an excellent list for dec..
