Detect 4-leaf clovers in your pictures

I recently made SymReg. It lets you discover mathematical expressions that explain some data based on some other data.

The code used for this blog post is in this notebook.

Let's try it on a sine wave, in spite of the fact that it does not have a sine building …

Take Uncle Bob's Clean Architecture and map its correspondences with Gary Bernhardt's thin imperative shell around a functional core, and you get an understanding of how to cheaply maintain and scale software!

This is what Mr. Brandon Rhodes did. It's not every day that I find such clear insight.

I …

Updated 2020-09-03: Statement on coupling

I was recently blown away by watching some of Uncle Bob's Clean Code presentations (make sure to check out his blog). Of particular focus was his demo of Test-Driven Development, which when done right, reduces defects, development cost, and maintenance cost of software.

In …

I shared my previous post on Reddit, and I got some very useful feedback which pointed out the irrelevance of what I was measuring (and also a scientific paper pointing out many statistical errors in a "real" GitHub study).

So, I figured I'd measure something more relevant: bugs.

Caveats

Sadly …

I decided to review some programming languages, by comparing their popularity with their Rosetta Code implementation terseness.

I measured terseness as the average of implementations' estimated zipped code filesize.

Update 2021-01-17: After another enlightening Reddit discussion, I realized an even worse caveat of just looking at Rosetta Code snippets is …
