It's so weird. The most part of my life I was a Full Stack Web Developer. HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySQL and so on. But I was always more happy on the frontend side. Especially CSS.

I work with Laravel for 6 years now and to see how easy and streamlined work can be really pulled me to the backend side.

I'm so hyped when I start the work on something while I'm creating the backend. And then I have to implement the frontend and I just have no motivation anymore.

I hope this is just a phase as I really enjoy to have full control over everything. The thing is: I love to optimize frontend stuff. But I don't really like to create it from scratch anymore.

Code-Smells caused by "history" are sometimes funny. In one project, we have often this:

variable = otherValue == null ? null : otherValue

instead it can be just this:

variable = otherValue

(Some months ago, the null-check was important because the code was like this:

variable = otherValue == null ? null : otherValue.longValue())

🚀 TidyDensity's New AIC Functions! 🚀

The TidyDensity package now includes new functions to calculate the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for various distributions, streamlining model quality assessment. Use functions like util_negative_binomial_aic() to automate AIC calculations, ensuring precise model evaluation.

Happy coding!

Got #DeepSeek Coder 33B running on my desktop's #AMDGPU card with #ollama.

First off, I tested its ability to generate and understand #Rust code. Unfortunately, it falls into the same confusion of the smaller 6.7B model.

To be completely fair, thread safety and atomics are advanced topics.

Several humans I have interviewed for engineering positions would also have a lot of trouble answering these questions. I couldn't write this code on a whiteboard without looking at the Rust library docs.

The main problem here is that the model is making up poor excuses to justify Arc<AtomicUsize>, showing poor reasoning skills.

Larger models like should do better with my questions (haven't tried yet).

Today I tried running Codestral, a 22B parameter LLM tuned for coding by Mistral AI.

With my Rust mock interview questions, it performed better than all other offline models I tried so far.

🚀 New in healthyR.data: get_cms_meta_data()!

Easily retrieve and analyze CMS metadata with customizable searches using .title, .keyword, and .modified_date. Choose data versions ("current", "archive", "all") and filter by media type ("all", "csv", "API", "other"). It returns a tidy tibble with essential metadata.

»Prusti is an automated program verifier for Rust, based on the Viper infrastructure. It leverages Rust's strong type guarantees to simplify the specification and verification of Rust programs.«

Do any of you know this and use it or are there "better" or even integrated tools for this, if such a thing is needed at all?

Trying to work on my couch for the day. See how it goes.

I usually have two 4K monitors attached to the MacBook and have the MacBook open to use the additional space. But I usually have to manage a dev team. On Friday it’s usually much quieter and I can focus on my dev stuff.

If I work on private projects I do it often from the couch so I know it's doable in theory.

I always have the option to switch to my desk so I guess it's fine.

But the goal is to find a good workflow to only work on one screen from time to time to be more flexible with where I work. For example: I never worked in a café and would like to try this one day.

Learn how to handle rows in R containing specific strings using base R's grep() and dplyr's filter() with str_detect(). Select or drop rows efficiently and enhance your data manipulation skills. Give it a try with your datasets for better data cleaning and organization.
