Playing with Rust
I've known Pere for several years, and I'm glad to see his views on Rust. Looks like not every Scala developer has to move from Scala to Haskell.Try out walrus operator in Python 3.8
I am the egg man, they are the egg men, I am the PEP 572: Goo goo g'joob. Well, or not. This feels very un-pythonic, and we all know the amount of flak BDFL got for that. But oh well, it's in Python 3.8-dev. Let this serve as the weekly reminder that pyenv is excellent.Cognitive Journaling: A Systematic Method to Overcome Negative Beliefs
Last year I had been journaling on and off, and this year I have been consistent, every day so far since New Year. This has interesting approaches to understand your mind better.How Jeff Bezos Turned Narrative into Amazon's Competitive Advantage
This idea is gold, but the HackerNews comments are better than the original article.Model Metropolis
I read about Forrester's Urban Dynamics in the excellent Thinking in Systems from Donella Meadows. And this also talks about SimCity, what else could I want?A Humility Training Exercise for Technical Interviewers
The idea presented here is powerful: learn to remove biases from your interviews. As an occasional interviewer (and interviewee), I can totally see how this can help.pandas blog – Pandas Extension Arrays
Extension arrays show a lot of promise, and right now there is work underway for Pandas extension arrays based on Arrow (fletcher). Although the cool work will happen when the underlying memory layout and building blocks of Pandas are actually Arrow... And that is underway as well.Demystifying JOIN Algorithms
A very good explanation of basic join algorithms, with a pseudocode that looks pretty much like PythonNewsletter?

25/06/2011 - Eye of the Theorem
Risin' up, back on the desk
Did my research, took my papers
Went the distance, now I'm back on my computer
Just a man and his will to publish
So many pages, it's going too slow
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must struggle just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the theorem, it's the cream of the proof
Risin' up to the challenge of our thesis
And the last known advisor stalks his prey in the room
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the theorem
Proof to proof, out in the congress
Hangin' tough, stayin' bored
They stack the odds 'til we take to review
For we go with the skill to publish
It's the eye of the theorem, it's the cream of the proof
Risin' up to the challenge of our thesis
And the last known advisor stalks his prey in the room
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the theorem
Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the impact, got the factor
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to publish
It's the eye of the theorem, it's the cream of the proof
Risin' up to the challenge of our thesis
And the last known advisor stalks his prey in the room
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the theorem

08/11/2010 - Worst Connectivity Ever
Hi readers! (woah... 235 already! I'm so glad you're here with me!)
This week I'm in Warsaw for a workshop (as I already commented in last post when I talked about the poster I am presenting).
I was expecting to use idle hours between talks and afternoons to write posts and post a little... But my internet connection is inexistent. This post is coming from an open wifi connection, which gets connected and disconnected at random, and when at its peak, just makes 3Kb/s.
It reminds me of my times with phone dial connection... When I had to use the command line browser lynx to navigate when I was downloading Debian CD images.
In fact, I've been tweeting using lynx to open mobile.twitter.com...
So, don't expect any more posts this week (unless some miracle happens and I get a decent connection), but next week will be awesome because although I can't post, I still can write and you can bet I am doing it.
In the meantime, feel free to read something from the archives or wander through the randomised links below posts!
