This is sensationalism and fear mongering. The type of blood clots (low platelet) the J&J causes gets worse with the standard treatment of blood thinners. This was on the CDC call this morning.

I vote canard. 1) French for duck which keeps the with the language history. 2) it’s a loan word into English for unfounded rumor. Which is kind of fun. 3) the second English definition: “small winglike projection attached to an aircraft fo

They are probably terrible for self-study, but I want to mention them anyway. I am a huge fan of David Bressoud’s Calculus (and analysis!) books. His first one doesn’t have exercises and his second one has a lot of physics. They are all hea

The FINRA database available to regulators is an amazing engineering achievement. It knows all and is how the SEC is able to “replay” the markets after the fact. Four year old blog post, but gives a sense of scale: https://aws.am

I’ve seen some pretty broken do statements from attempts to use parsec. The applicative syntax just makes more sense in describing what is happening; especially for more complicated parsing logic.

They all promise to reduce your data engineering budget. The problem is that building a data connector is a one-time platform problem per data source. Once it’s solved; it’s solved. None of them solve the problem of ETL design and data war

Email quotas aren’t just a cost thing. It forces deletion of files/communications that aren’t relevant anymore. The last thing the legal department wants is some executive’s laptop with 10 years of undeleted email to make it’s way to d

Coming from a math background, once I had the syntax sorted and could write a few simple file parsers in Haskell, “Category theory for programmers” helped me understand some of what the Haskell type system is trying to accomplish. (Endofunc
