"The Dream Machine" by M. Mitchell Waldrop. It tells the history of computing by following J.C.R Licklider. As one of the directors of ARPA, he was responsible for funding research labs to work on computer research. He had a major

Nice I'll check it out! I'm just going to throw out another problem since you guys are here :) The current batch process joins some tables before sending data to elasticsearch. This means that the debezium connector doesn't w

I just started using kSQL at work to build a data pipeline from Postgres to Elasticsearch. This will be replacing our error-prone batch processes. So far it has been a really nice experience, however I don't have it running in producti

I really like this textbook that was used in my undergrad networking course. https://book.systemsapproach.org/index.html The “perspective” sections at the end of every chapter are really interesting!

I have been using CDK at work and it is fantastic. It feels like React for Infrastructure. I used to write raw Cloudformation at my last internship, and being able to write Typescript instead feels like moving from assembly language to C.

I'm setting up a blog soon. I'm planning on using pandoc and some shell scripts to generate the html from markdown and host on github pages.

At my school there is a 2 unit class that you must take along with the intro DS&A course that teaches bash, vim, git, testing, etc. It was definitely the class that helped me the most in my internship and also made me a Vim user. http:

This is not an answer but on a similar note, has anyone watched the latest Joe Rogan Experience with Daryl Davis. He is a black man who convinced Klan Members to leave the KKK. Amazing podcast. Maybe the only way to stop toxicity/polar

Have you tried the CDK yet instead of using Troposphere?

Look up "edit distance"... it is one of the first problems an Algorithms course will discuss that can be solved by dynamic programming. But ya, no way anyone is coming up with that unless they have seen it before.

I think the fact that Swift has first-class automatic differentiation is an even bigger deal than the fact that it is strongly-typed. Here is an interesting write-up about it... https://gist.github.com/rxwei/30ba75ce092

"Python, Javascript, or Rust" I feel like Rust does not belong in this list. Why would you introduce a non-programmer to Rust?

I think most people use their phone before putting on their outfit, not their computers. Generally I agree that more things should be mobile-friendly websites, but in this case I think an app is a good idea.

I’m taking Advanced Data Structures at UCSD right now and our first assignment was making a K-D Tree and an efficient KNN Classifier. It was surprisingly simple and the efficiency between the KD Tree and brute force implementation was quite

Isn't science based on experimentation? I think economics is a science in the same way psychology is a science.

Im studying CS right now (community college) and we have two low level courses. In the first one we use Nand2Tetris and also build a SAP-1 (simple as possible) computer following Ben Eaters YouTube series. One of the coolest classes I'
