Cheap UIs
Sometimes you need a quick and easy UI for your application. In the past, these were bare-bones buttons, inputs, and other displays barely usable by even technical users. But the quality has improved for even the quickest-built UIs, and they've become easier to build. Now it's for everyone, from machine learning engineers who need a quick interface to customer support workers who need a wrapper around an internal system.

The Problem with Drag-n-Drop Infrastructure
There's a paradigm that's been tried over and over again – drag-and-drop diagrams for software configuration, especially infrastructure.

Generate diagrams programmatically
This blog post will demonstrate a concrete example of that, by using D2's language API to build a diagram that visualizes the schema after each line of SQL statement.

The purpose of AI
However, the real purpose of AI and the path we’re going is not exactly what I believe we had in mind when we first started working on it. We built artificial intelligence to make our lives easier so we can be able to focus on what truly matters to us as human race. I believe when we starte the machines and when we first started to replace part of the labor and work with automatons what we had in mind was to finally replace humans with machines not in what we enjoyed doing but in what we believed is exploiting our essence.

Rebuilding in Rust [Ed: Microsoft boosters promote Rust, which is partly controlled by Microsoft through GitHub]
Why Rust? A correct but uninteresting answer is the community – both existing libraries and the opportunity for aspiring developers to build those libraries.

My twitch about adding a shim in front of a (shell script) interpreter
A subtle issue is that from the perspective of the program running the script, its exec succeeded the moment your shim got loaded, even if your shim then can't exec the real interpreter (for example, because trying to load it exceeds some resource limit). If the program would have done something different when the exec of the script failed, well, it's too late. This is probably not too likely, though; an exec usually doesn't fail if the program is there.

Economics and R
While I am no expert in political economy, it seems intuitive that voters are happy if their representatives manage to provide federal money for local investment projects. But how large is the effect in terms of additional votes in future elections?
In his great article Stimulating the Vote: ARRA Road Spending and Vote Share (AEJ Policy, 2019) Emiliano Huet-Vaughn studies this question for road infrastructure investments financed by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
If you want to empirically explore this topic yourself, you can take a look at this nice interactive RTutor problem set that Philipp Klotz wrote as part of his Bachelor thesis at Ulm University. Besides learning about political economy, you can also hone your skills in R.

Mirai Solutions :: MiRiM - RiskMetrics - v1.1
Mirai RiskMetrics (MiRiM) is a Shiny app based on the RiskMetrics methodology enhanced to analyze the market risk of a portfolio.
MiRiM is freely available on our Website Gallery and is designed for desktop view.
In the first release, MiRiM was mainly a PoC serving as an example for the application of the J.P.Morgan/Reuters RiskMetrics methodology to a portfolio of commodities to be provided as a CSV input, where a default portfolio of commodities from LME was initiated at the start of the app. RiskMetrics is a set of tools that enables participants in the financial markets to estimate their exposure to market risk, under what has been called the ‘Value-at-Risk framework’, in portfolios of foreign exchange, fixed income, equity and commodity products.
