Bruno ticks the boxes for this https://www.usebruno.com/ No affiliation, just a long term fan after years of frustration with Postman and Insomnia.

Managing state is hard and always has been regardless of the underlying technology. I have been using Kubernetes for a few years now and whenever I see people putting manual steps …

Comparing different metrics is not valid across all use cases. Counting startup time but excluding development time is disingenuous. Having used both Fortan and Julia the differenc…

The point is when you have a connection with limited bandwidth. In such cases you can host browsh in the cloud and connect to it with ssh/mosh. You get a much better experience tha…

The article misses an often overlook but important point: burning hydrogen in air produces NOX which can be a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. The solution to reduce the amount…

The subscription model gives you access to the drafts of the chapters and full book access at 8 months. For $9 at the lowest subscription grade this is $9x8 = $72 which seems like …

In general I find that working with mathematics as auxiliary to any field is hard when you do not get to practice it every day. In these cases I have found the matrix cookbook [1] …

You can refer to a talk about Differentiable Programming here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv3d0k7wWHk the talk is for Julia, albeit the principles are general. If you skip to …

One of my lecturers once gave an anecdotal reductio ad absurdum argument of why it is difficult to reduce our carbon footprint: people are not willing to walk from the UK to France…

The example is fundamentally different as physics simulations have closed form solutions or can be numerically approximated for various initial and boundary conditions. Therefore, …

The Gini coefficient will give you a measure for the statistical spread of GDP per capita and is used to measure inequality. [1] Taking the time series of the Gini coefficient and …

Org-mode. Once you get hooked and comfortable there is hardly going back. Org-mode support todo lists, agendas, scheduling, recording time per task, latex export, references (with …

Experience can differ between companies and languages. I have been involved over the past year with Julia which is mainly ran and developed by the company Julia Computing. One migh…

I think it will also involve selecting seeds only from "better" performing trees from the city tree gene pool. This will then ensure that beneficial mutations / changes survive. An…

This sounds so good! I just read that Latex support is also included. If there is also an extension to handle references I can move out of emacs / org-mode / orgref because the mai…

Unfortunately no. According to the BBC [0] the Civil Aviation Authority considers a drone interference accident as an extraordinary circumstance. Therefore, the EU rules for compen…

The post provides useful set of rules to follow when writing text. I want to add another one which I have found to be beneficial to my work: the write-good linter for English prose…

This is really interesting I will definitely give it a try. I think it will be extremely useful in Jupyter/orgmode where currently I have to rely on PGF/tikz which itself is amazin…

Collating a private database of health history is an extremely dangerous practice and I will just drop this article from rms which has further links to other systems [0]. The artic…

Great explanation of how fractals work and the chaotic behaviour you can get. If you are interested in generating your own fractal Jean Francois Puget [0] has a great article on ho…

I find this article moot. They are basically saying that applying a blank ML stamp can yield unsatisfying results on your data. That ought to be obvious and seems unnecessarily rep…

Google will also show you results targeted only for you. In comparison different IP address/accounts using the same search string in DDG will always get the same result. This can l…
