This post proposes combining three complementary thresholds — shift, ratio, and effect size — for more reliable tests of practical significance. In Pragmastat, these correspond to Shift , Ratio , and Disparity — the recommended robust two-sample estimators. pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat When we design a test for practical significance, which compares two samples, we should somehow express the threshold.....

Introduction In episode 15, Bill architected a solution to ensure all the users on his blockchain were given a unique identifier. His approach consisted of essentially leveraging the randomness of a user’s private key to ensure each identifier is unique. A disadvantage Bill pointed out with this is that a user may forget their private key and ultimately lose access to their account. To circumvent this issue, Bill proposed the usage of a mn..

Introduction When an API requires implementation details from the user, many developers use an interface for help. However, another way to allow developers to provide implementation details for an API is to accept a function instead. Go supports declaring function types which can be used to define a contract similar to how interfaces define a contract. A good example of an API that uses functions over an interface is the HTTP package. The ..

I wrote this while investigating a product opportunity in the product analytics space. We started and stopped this work in the first half of 2023, but I’m leaving this here for posterity. Related posts: Baxter’s free funnel analysis SQL generation tool is out! Funnel analysis in SQL using window functions, range frames, and regular expressions All these posts were on our product blog. I recently wrote about how I don’t like any of the funne..

This is the third post in my series about writing an Emacs core in Rust. The first post laid out my initial observations and ideas about the language runtime. The second post focused on building a safe garbage collector in Rust using the type system. I initially stated that I wanted to reach the point where I could bootstrap bytecomp.el (the elisp byte compiler). That goal is reached1, so I am providing an update on my latest learnings.

AWS will now encrypt all new data in its Amazon S3 storage service by default. Huge announcement, secure default for the win, sure, but it *may* give a false sense of security. Here’s how.

Nearly all programs are written to access virtual memory addresses, which the CPU must translate to physical addresses. These translations are usually fast because the mappings are cached in the CPU's Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) . Unfortunately, virtual memory on x86 has used a 4 kiB page size since the 386 was released in 1985, when computers had a bit less memory than they do today. Also unfortunately, TLBs are pretty small be....

Yesterday, it seemed no app on our phone (a Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS, for that matter) was able to connect to the internet, despite having clearly been granted the network permission. After repeatedly trying to fix it through a reboot, we looked into our adblocker, Blokada 5, which was, after all, controlling all of our network traffic. It turned out that in fact it was erroring, stating an issue with connecting to some sort of API. So, w....

Making “Widgets for Google Reviews of Trustindex” a bit more GDPR compliant

So I found this topic on why Trustindex’s plugin Widgets for Google Reviews uses an external 3rd party CDN to load their images. I solved it by overwriting the HTML of the plugin’s shortcode HTML: And overwrite the CSS of the plugin so that the plugin’s CSS rule won’t be loaded. You need to save […] The post Making “Widgets for Google Reviews of Trustindex” a bit more GDPR compliant appeared first on Jaime Martinez .

Admittedly, I’m often too positive on assumptions and not sceptical enough. This is a good article to help fix that or change the approach.

I spent an unfortunate amount of time writing and re-writing my recent blog post about Jupyter notebooks, mostly double checking that I liked the overall style and tone. After I put it up on the shiny new website, I hesitated and finally submitted it to Hacker News, the message board most likely to care. I put my computer away and focused on brunch with my friends, and a few hours later logged on to see what had happened: nothing at all..

It is with no small thanks to MDN, StackOverflow, Firefox's support for countless open tabs, JavaScript's support for first-class functions, and first-class supportive colleagues, I learned it is possible for a web front end novice to program "text art animations". Whatever that is even. Because I thoroughly enjoyed doing just that for Hanukkah of Data 2022. Here's how it went down.

Image Details & Source Frame from the 1985 film Real Genius . Specifically, the end of the (not-so-absurd) “ lecture hall montage ” in which a bunch of smaller student tape recorders are recording the professor’s math lesson, which is itself being played back via a larger, more vintage tape recorder. The scene begins approximately 26 minutes, 53 seconds into the movie. Last tended: March 8th, 2023 I’ve removed the ChatGPT responses....

I grew up with BASIC and Turbo Pascal. My first programs were very simple graphical games. I still miss the era of BGI and BASIC’s painting commands. Those graphics were neither beautiful nor fast, but they were simple. Simple enough for a kid with only elemental geometry knowledge to build something exciting. Even today, whenever I want to prototype or visualise something, to experiment with generative art or to write a toy graphical app –..

There are tons of Grafana and Helm tutorials out there, but I could not find any that did not use the default option of a Kubernetes persistent volume to store Grafana's data. It wasn't difficult, but wanted to document it here for the next person.

Starting a new project can be quite repetitive task. Fortunately, automating repetitive task is what programming is good at, right? So you’d expect to find plenty of options spitting boilerplate code around, removing the tedious setup, giving us more time for the fun stuff. Funny enough they are not that many options around (I mean there is some choice but if you want to know how many is too many option, try to count how many implementation..

The waterfall that flows beneath the Humpback Creek bridge (~0.3 miles from trailhead). Arrived at 2:30pm for a quick snowshoe excursion up to the iron horse trail and back before sunset. Quite a short one, just over 2 miles round trip, almost 500ft elevation gain. We took our time going up, and got to the iron horse trail in ~55 minutes, and then got back down much faster in just ~30 minutes.

I spend roughly half of my programming time working in Jupyter notebooks 1 . Some is exploring data and building models, and some is experimenting when writing new code. I like notebooks - they make exploration much easier. For data science work, visualization with notebooks is just easier than what came before. However, opinions of notebook-style programming vary wildly, from love to mild dislike to hate . There are many tropes a....

Additional context: During our investigation we spoke directly with Mr. Hadnagy about claims of his violations of our Code of Conduct. He confirmed his behavior, and agreed to st....
