Two months ago I moved to Japan to pursue something I've always wanted to do. I've been a fan of Japanese culture for a long time, and always wanted to understand the language - so now I'm studying at a language school in Tokyo.
Being exposed to unbiased, relevant, high-quality news can open the door to professional opportunities, learning, quality personal time. How do we consume news and other content in this day and age? It is mainly via personalized feeds of social networks and notifications they send us. There are a few problems
In this article, I'll go through a bunch of basic techniques to gain insight of what is really going on in a machine learning model. Low-enough entry barrier and wide range of techniques should give a reader a nice toolset to use in their data science practice.
For more than 5 years, I'm relying on this tool for managing my finances and foreseeing the impact of my financial decisions far into the future.
This is the third article in a series introducing the Vulkan graphics API. We'll build upon the previous two articles and draw our first triangle on the screen.
This is the second article in the series covering the Vulkan graphics API, its organisation and how to get started with it. We'll cover the concept of a graphics pipeline and how one can leverage features of Scala to effectively set it up.
Vulkan is a modern API to access graphics cards and use them for rendering and other purposes. This is the first article in a series that covers how Vulkan API is organised an how one can get started with it. We'll use Scala as an example target language.
A strong side of Scala is its DSL capability. DSLs, or domain-specific languages, are programming languages designed for convenient expression of operations in a certain domain. An example of such a DSL is the one I designed for Simple Rockets 2 – SR2 Compiler. That DSL can be used to program
If you’re an aerospace hobbyist, there’s a good chance that you’ll have a ton of fun with Simple Rockets 2. It’s a game where you build and fly rockets. Similarly to Kerbal Space Program, it allows you to pick up basic rocket science casually while playing
In this article, I'm sharing my process of learning how to fix issues in complex codebases, such as the one of the Scala 3 compiler (otherwise known as Dotty).
In this article, I'd like to describe how my processes evolved and what breakthrough moments I had while fixing bugs in Dotty. Tooling Having the right tools while working on a problem is paramount. Try writing your next project in Notepad. No syntax highlighting, no code completion, no
When programming in a purely functional style, we aim to reify side effects into data structures called effect types. An effect type you are using should be the same throughout the entire application so that different parts of the application are composable. When having multiple side effects and a single
