Nerd For Tech

At least there's no accurate way for a search engine to check for originality. It's like asking a machine to evaluate other machines. Here's the top-most featured snippet when I google if programming languages had honest slogans: https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/if-your-favourite-programming-languag… Half of the above post is plagiarised from my 2020 post: https://betterprogramming.pub/if-programming-languages-had-honest-slog…

> Your pinned post on Twitter is predicated on double standards and lack of basic understanding of the tools you're criticizing If it means that I get to see less Python, then I guess... Mission accomplished? LOL My first, second and tenth experiences with Python were all negative. Everything from trying to exit the REPL the first time I used it and getting chastised for doing it wrong (which meant that it knew what I was trying to do, and instead of just doing that, decided to be a little snit about it, which is about the jerkiest attitude a tool can take), to the Python 2.x->3.x transition pains, to the significant whitespace, to every project stepping on the dependencies of every other project (you might argue that "I just didn't use venv right" but I did follow every package's installation instructions!), to... Well, just read this, he did a good summary: https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/python-is-a-bad-programming-language-… There's literally nothing I like about it. It just seems like a poorly written, older Ruby with a lot of baggage and a minefield of gotchas (except that I like Ruby... or did, before Elixir). Ruby should have absolutely fucking had Python's current market share, and I am 1000% convinced that if it did, everyone would be happier. Whenever Elixir tries to eat Python's lunch (like in the ML space which it's doing now), a part of me is as glad as a puppy. The language, despite its ubiquity, absolutely sucks in my mind, is not only a…

This is a topic close to my heart and I am trying my best to create a serverside platform that can only run open source software. My hope is making digital services transparent half the shenanigans will go away. For two reasons 1. bad actors can't hide B.S. 2. good actors have something they can point to that has 3rd party validation. So for digital services where the source code is always available, my runtime dynamically loads the source code indicated in the URL each request. So you are free to go to the URL directly, and you can figure all the routing out in advance of data leaving your device (in theory). For the sake of moving fast, the 1st supported code repository the runtime can run serverside code from is Observablehq, which has the additional property of being a code IDE which simplifies greatly how you actually upload code to a public location. The core building block: https://observablehq.com/@endpointservices/serverless-cells Some blogspam: https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/towards-a-better-serverless-28330158e… I built the IndiaAuth provider using this transparent technique, so you can see exactly how it works. https://observablehq.com/@endpointservices/auth

Came to post the same..! Someone wrote about it on Medium: https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/telnetting-watching-star-wars-but-doi… Nice bit of nostalgia for me.

Machine Learning (LDA): "By finding eigenvectors we’ll find axes of new subspace where our life gets simpler: classes are more separated and data within classes has lower variance." https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/linear-discriminant-analysis-c24d9729…
