Writing

My favorite pieces

I wrote a long article about modern C++, complete with code samples and footnotes!

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

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
- A bit of a follow in this book review: Into the Raging Sea: Thirty-Three Mariners, One Megastorm, and the Sinking of El Faro review
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:
