I became a poll worker to better understand election security, at the constant prodding of matt blaze . Someone this morning asked "What happens to my ballot, how do I know it is counted" this morning, and this thread is an attempt to answer that question.

I got my current job because I hike. I wrote about how that happened, and the role of chance in our lives. daviddaly.me/2023/09/hiking… #career #hiking #serendipity

I often find myself giving the same advice to interns who are debating whether they should go to grad school to pursue a #PhD in #ComputerScience or if they should get a job. This post is my #advice to those students. daviddaly.me/2023/11/should…

Read this gem again today from henrik ingo ❤️🇺🇦 ❤️ and David Daly. People are often willing to sacrifice maximum performance to achieve less variance. CI is a perfect example though I've also heard the same from customers for production systems. mongodb.com/blog/post/redu…

2023 was a productive year for me. I drove a lot of change in my life, spanning my #career, how I organize information, and my #writing. I was helped by several books and other resources. I wrote about the most impactful ones and how they helped me. daviddaly.me/2024/02/writin…

Want to learn more about Change Point Detection? A thread with resources!🧵

The original paper that motivated using it for performance analysis was the ICPE 2020 paper from MongoDB (henrik ingo ❤️🇺🇦 ❤️ and David Daly co-authored) dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…

Many years ago I wondered if I was good enough at #reading #papers. No one had tought me how to do it well, and many of my peers seemed to be much better at it. I’ve written up how I currently read papers and what I wish someone had taught me long ago. daviddaly.me/2024/03/readin…

Excited to announce I have been selected as a #LaidlawScholar at Tufts University. For my first summer in the program, I will be working with @science_SRH researching protein-protein interactions and mechanisms involved in DNA damage recognition and repair at replication forks.

So exciting!

My latest post covers using #books to solve problems, such as helping my son catch fish. There is a lot of knowledge stored in books. This post focuses on some of the ways to find the right knowledge for what you need. daviddaly.me/2024/06/readin…

Extremely excited to be talking at #P99CONF this year about using change point detection with noisy benchmarks.

P99 Conf is my favorite performance-focused gathering, and I've found Change Point Detection an intriguing topic ever since I heard David Daly present on it at ICPE 2020. So, this should be a good one from my man Matt Fleming👍

Tomorrow I start a new job! daviddaly.me/2025/01/im-sta…
