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....

Write libraries instead of services is an interesting article I read a while ago. I cannot get it off my head. In an attempt to clear up my mind, I decided to sit down and write about it. I have been writing libraries for a good part of my life. Most of my earlier dev-work resides on thousands of computers in the form of libraries. More recently, I have been writing and deploying remote services. Libraries versus Services is a topic I care..

Non-Fungible GANscapes is a series of digital landscapes generated using a Generative Adversarial Network and distributed as non-fungible tokens. The works were trained on curated landscape imagery and produced as machine-generated scenes that sit somewhere between photographic memory and synthetic terrain.

The artifacts we've previously seen have given rise to new types of economies, tools, and arsenals that can be used by different actors for different incentives. Let's start by focusing on the economic aspects by looking at actors such as social media platforms, newspapers, and advertisement companies. Life in an information society is about moving data, the new raw material, around our manufacturing pipelines. This data is then consumed by..

Mostly I've been devouring Will Larson's writing in article/blog form, and now all that material has been published in his book Staff Engineer .

So early on one of the things Will does is break the r....

One of the most essential properties of a quantile estimator is its efficiency . In simple words, the efficiency describes the estimator accuracy. The Harrell-Davis quantile estimator is a good option to achieve higher efficiency. However, this estimator may provide lower efficiency in some special cases. In this post, we will conduct a set of simulations that show the actual efficiency numbers. We compare different distributions (symmetri..
