Don't Repeat Yourself or DRY is an important principle in software development. This post will show you how to apply it to Apache APISIX configuration. The principle has been formulated by Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas in their book The Pragmatic Programmer. They apply it quite broadly to include database schemas, test plans, the build system, even documentation.

Last week, I suspected that Vitalik's X account might have been hacked when I saw a post featuring a meme of a bull with a tag around its neck that boldly read, ‘*Ethereum is good*’ Vitalik succumbed to popular requests to be less philosophical on his X account. But this ‘experiment’ lasted for just one day.

Bram Cohen is an American computer scientist who invented the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol. He is also considered an early cypherpunk, because he’s been dedicated to creating privacy-oriented and peer-to-peer (P2P) software. Cohen co-founded the company BitTorrent Inc. in 2004, which is still around today.

Revisiting Discrepancies in Diffusion Theory: Concluding Remarks and References

The claim that the Lorentz model is a useful tool for investigating bimolecular reactions in solutions became credible only after the publication of Burschka and Titulaer’s numerical solution of the one-dimensional KKE 4. A Procrustean random walk model that allows no distribution of path lengths seems (to me) unphysical, much like the lattice model that informed Smoluchowksi's thinking (about the boundary condition at an...

The ability to process and analyze vast amounts of information quickly and efficiently is no longer a competitive advantage—it’s a survival imperative. Despite increases in CPU power, traditional CPU-based data processing architectures struggle to keep up with modern analytics workloads. The emergence of Generative AI has further highlighted this tipping point, creating demands beyond what CPUs can handle efficiently or affordably.

Andrea Renzetti, Department of Economics, Alma Mater Studiorium Universit`a di Bologna, Piazza Scaravilli 2, 40126 Bologina, Italy. The construction of a theory coherent prior builds on the idea that an economic theory implies restrictions on the parameters of the TVP-VAR. Intuitively we can find out these restrictions by specifying a prior distribution.

Time-varying parameters Vector Autoregressive (TVP-VAR) models are frequently used in economics to capture evolving relationships among the macroeconomic variables. The paper shows that using the classical 3-equation New Keynesian block to form a prior for the TVPVAR substantially enhances forecast accuracy in a standard model of monetary policy.

Revisiting Discrepancies in Diffusion Theory: The Solution to Milne’s Problem for B-particles

Far from the wall the density increases linearly with distance, as one expects from the diffusion equation. The value we find for this “Milne extrapolation length” is, in the appropriate dimensionless units, approximately twice the value found in the radiative transfer problem.
