P99 Conf is my favorite performance-focused gathering, and I've found Change Point Detection an intriguing topic ever since I heard @DavidDaly44 present on it at ICPE 2020. So, this should be a good one from my man @fleming_matt👍

My latest post covers using #books to solve problems, such as helping my son catch fish. There is a lot of knowledge stored in books. This post focuses on some of the ways to find the right knowledge for what you need. daviddaly.me/2024/06/reading…

I became a poll worker to better understand election security, at the constant prodding of @mattblaze . Someone this morning asked "What happens to my ballot, how do I know it is counted" this morning, and this thread is an attempt to answer that question.

Excited to announce I have been selected as a #LaidlawScholar at Tufts University. For my first summer in the program, I will be working with @science_SRH researching protein-protein interactions and mechanisms involved in DNA damage recognition and repair at replication forks.

Many years ago I wondered if I was good enough at #reading #papers. No one had tought me how to do it well, and many of my peers seemed to be much better at it. I’ve written up how I currently read papers and what I wish someone had taught me long ago. daviddaly.me/2024/03/reading…

The original paper that motivated using it for performance analysis was the ICPE 2020 paper from MongoDB (@h_ingo and @DavidDaly44 co-authored) dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3…

What is exactly Change Point Detection and appreciate if you can share some resources to learn more about CPD.

2023 was a productive year for me. I drove a lot of change in my life, spanning my #career, how I organize information, and my #writing. I was helped by several books and other resources. I wrote about the most impactful ones and how they helped me. daviddaly.me/2024/02/writing…

Read this gem again today from @h_ingo and @DavidDaly44. People are often willing to sacrifice maximum performance to achieve less variance. CI is a perfect example though I've also heard the same from customers for production systems. mongodb.com/blog/post/reduci…

I don’t have a good memory for names, facesr, and details. I’ve built up a system of note taking and #memorization to work around my limits, and now I’ve written about it. daviddaly.me/2023/12/the-ner…

This was a challenging piece to write, as it really is the nerdiest thing I do. And we don’t normally talk about the nerdy things we do. Maybe we should do that more.

I often find myself giving the same advice to interns who are debating whether they should go to grad school to pursue a #PhD in #ComputerScience or if they should get a job. This post is my #advice to those students. daviddaly.me/2023/11/should-…

I got my current job because I hike. I wrote about how that happened, and the role of chance in our lives. daviddaly.me/2023/09/hiking-… #career #hiking #serendipity

@BlkInComputing do you have any advice or references around sensitivity readers? I'm asking for myself for a blog post for people in computing.

The post covers advice I give to students considering grad school. I want to acknowledge that some people have considerably more obstacles in their way than others, and the advice needs to be adjusted for that. I want to make sure that people feel seen, not hurt. Thank you

A little more background. In this case this post is for my personal blog. That blog isn't monetized and has limited readership. That said, I try hard to write good posts, and want to stand proudly behind whatever I write.

I try to organize my life to increase the things that bring me energy, and minimize those that steal my energy. This idea comes from a book. I’ve written up some thoughts on the book, relevant to managers and non-manager’s alike. daviddaly.me/2023/07/book-re…

I'll let the authors speak for themselves as well about the importance of finding your love in work. This is from the end of chapter eight, which includes how you should spend a week in love with your work.
Book Quote from "Nine Lies About Work". Text: We ask the same of you. Spend a week in love with your work. Hold tightly to your red threads. Yes, so you can blossom. But mostly, so you can figure out ways to share what’s unique about you with the rest of us. The power of human nature is that each human’s nature is unique. This is a feature, not a bug. So your responsibility is to take seriously the uniqueness of your uniqueness, and design the most intelligent, the most honest, and the most effective ways to volunteer it to the rest of us. We—your teammates, your family, your community, your company—are waiting for you to share with us your unique loves. We’re here for but a few short years. Please don’t make us wait too long.
