Writing

On my blog

Here some some of the most popular/pieces I'm proudest of on my blog:

• Programming
  • What I like (and don’t like) about the Rust language - my first post about Rust (here are all my Rust posts)
  • parsing baseball files in Rust instead of Python for an 8x speedup!
  • New project: Wheel of Fortune solver! (and Rust is still faster than Python)
  • clue solver now in Rust with more accurate simulations!
  • Airport Guides now available on iOS! - has a lot of my experiences publishing my first iOS app!
• Does the length of the top of the first inning affect the number of runs scored in the bottom of the first? (somewhat!) - I've done a number of posts about baseball using the data from my Baseball Win Expectancy Finder; here are all my baseball posts.
• Sharing my salary - this offer still stands!
• commercial airplane crashes and the chain of events
• honesty and false hope
• Why health care isn’t like cupholders (or, why essential health benefits make sense)
• Two great twists: Rogue One and The Good Place (season 1)
• some thoughts on acting and some more thoughts on acting
• FlySmarter postmortem (or: how to publish an app and lose money), and the precursor app FlightPredictor: a postmortem

I also use tags on my posts, so you can see:

• writeups of my projects
• posts about math
• my book reviews
• my yearly recaps

Other places

For Mozilla, I wrote a post about Letting users block injected third-party DLLs in Firefox, which is a project I worked on!

I've also written some pieces for the LogRocket blog - here's my author page. My articles:

• Pathfinding in Rust: A tutorial with examples
• Web scraping with Rust
• Optimizing Rust code with LLVM: A detailed breakdown
• Understanding Rust Option and Result enums
• A guide to cross-compilation in Rust
• Using BufRead for faster Rust I/O speed
• Guide to using arenas in Rust
