I am using a SeedableRng to make reproducible simulations.

Here's my get_rng function:

use rand::prelude::*;
use rand_xoshiro::rand_core::SeedableRng;
use rand_xoshiro::Xoshiro256StarStar;

pub fn get_rng() -> impl Rng {

Hey there!

I'm Ryan Rampersad and I'll be giving a talk titled The Art & Science of Reading Other People's Code.

I am looking for short nuggets of wisdom that I could add to my talk. I am sure we'll share many of the same ideas, but I bet there's some really unique and insightful advice, tips and tricks out there.

Want to give it a try?

Meta

For the last few days, I have been thinking about how much I hate forms and meanwhile, how there are other aspects of the ecosystem that aren't great either.

Forms

What's the deal with forms? Forms, ever since webforms back in the day, seem to be at the unsolvable core of modern frontend development. In today's React take on forms, there have been numerous libraries to help solve them.

Some early work was to integrate them with redux-form. I skipped that one, so I know nothing about it at this point.

Trying to use NestJS and TypeORM? Trying to use the provided ConfigModule with forRootAsync? Cool, you might get an error.

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { TypeOrmModule } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { AppController } from './app.controller';
import { AppService } from './app.service';
import { ConfigModule, ConfigService } from '@nestjs/config';

Data in cycles

I'm trying to break a set of data into "cycles" for further processing. The data has no additional flags associated, so I can't identify the cycles any other way except numerically. Visually plotting data shows the cycles, but I'm looking for a robust numerically approach.

Current approach

Given a list of datapoints...

Hey everyone,

I am living without a blog right now, but that has been on my mind over the last couple weeks. Setting up a blog tonight is definitely not workable, but setting up a simple blog-like gist is no problem at all.

I wanted to share here by Open Source North 2019 thoughts!

A brief preamble

In 2016, I learned of Open Source North and was lucky enough to receive a ticket from a friend. I attended that OSN as my first conference ever. Since then, I have promoted the idea of OSN being the best introduction conference for those new to the field. It's a local event, it's not too big, it's priced right (either inexpensive enough to be self-purchased as a student or pre-work, or cheap enough for a new hire to jump into without raising red flags at work for cost). I also say this is also a wonderfully well-rounded conference, ranging from frontend, to backend, to devops and more. Everything that intersects t
