A painfully basic static code analysis example
Disclaimer: This is a fairly specific benchmark, it addresses only serialization performance of a single big Python object. That was the problem we were solving at the time at Plotwise. It might not be relevant to any other case, but you can probably...
Harder than it sounds!
Learning big legacy codebases is a chore. I wish there were more tools to help me learn what is going on in an existing application. There is a lot of focus on designing and building new software, but when it comes to modifying existing ones, especia...
Some of the results (e.g. Vuejs) are skewed by spam. I am currently refining my methodology - if you are curious have a look at merge-chance GitHub issues Have you ever made an open source contribution? Whether your PR is rejected/ignored or successf...
Lets analyse a known dataset: the Kaggle IMDB dataset, which contains info about some of the best rated movies. We will see what useful insights we can learn by using Macrobase Diff to explain differences between the top of the ranking and the less p...
Macrobase Diff — minimal implementation In my last post ( https://pzakrzewski.com/posts/macrobase/) I introduced Macrobase, a tool and a methodology for prioritising attention in data analysis. I said that I would try to reimplement part of the Macro...
