In 1982, at just twenty-three years old and halfway through her architectural studies, Elspeth Beard left her family and friends in London and set off on a 35,000-mile solo adventure around the world on her 1974 BMW R60/6. Exhausted by a recent breakup and with only a few savings scraped together from her job in a pub, a tent, a few clothes and some tools, all packed on the back of her bike, she was determined to prove herself.

Plain Org v1.3 is now available on the App Store . The update receives a few features, bug fixes, and improvements. If you haven't heard of Plain Org , it gives you access to org files on iPhone while away from your beloved Emacs . I love org markup, but we (iPhone + org users) are a fairly niche bunch. If you're finding Plain Org useful, please help support this effort by getting the word out. Tell your friends, tweet , or blo....

We have a Roborock S6 Pure robotic vacuum cleaner . It’s very nice having a device that more or less cleans the floors by itself. When it works. Ours stopped working a week ago, after working well for months.

I make quite extensive use of s3cmd from s3tools , historically I found it much more usable than Amazon's own CLI (though that's since improved), so the habits set in. The sync functionality in particular is useful and I've written in the past about reimplementing it for encrypted incremental backups . The sync argument works much like rsync. It's utility for incremental backups is obvious, but it also means that you get the ability t..

If you know your user is asking for help show them the damn help

One of my pet peeves has always been the many different, sometimes very original ways in which CLI tools handle help requests. POSIX sets the canon: -h or --help is how we ask for help. But no, some tools 1 want to be original at the worst moment: when their users are struggling, looking for guidance. It’s somewhat consolatory to learn that I’m not alone in this fight. The other day I landed on Clayton Craft’s blog. His [rant on the to..

As I am writing my first blog post for Artsy, here is a short introduction on who I am: My name is Kaja and I am an engineer in our Berlin entity. As a Ruby-born programmer I am calling myself a backend engineer, but that also may change and is more about emotional identification and less about what I actually do (as you will see in this blog post). My background is not in engineering at all. In university I graduated in philosophy and hist....

Running multiple seperate commands via seperate SSH invocations can be very slow, so we sometimes want to multiplex SSH sessions over an existing connection (i.e. re-use the connection). This can be particularly useful if you're shelling into a system which requires two-factor authentication as you'll only need to answer a challenge for the first connection. It's also useful if you're using something like ansible, as it can massively ..

The Mann–Whitney U test is one of the most popular nonparametric null hypothesis significance tests. However, like any statistical test, it has limitations. We should always carefully match them with our business requirements. In this post, we discuss how to properly choose the statistical level for the Mann–Whitney U test on small samples. Let’s say we want to compare two samples $x = \{ x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n \}$ and $y = \{ y_1, y_2, ....

I own a reMarkable 2 (referral link) eInk tablet. It’s pretty nice (except lately the manufacturer has tacked on a subscription service). And it can send documents as PDFs via email. But unlike the Kindle, you cannot send documents to the tablet via email. Well, there exists a third party service . I saw someone post on reddit that they wrote a Telegram bot that can be used to upload documents to their reMarkable. That sounded intere..

With the evolving technology, many parts of an e-commerce system, or commerce parts of any website became increasingly commoditized. You need a payment processor?
