This repository is a (personally) curated collection of notes, blogs, and resources across several domains.
- Distributed Programming for fun and profit- [WEBPAGE] 2013, but still extremely relevant, maybe even more so? It discusses the following: High and low level abstraction, Time (clock) and replication. As said by the author's intent was to "introduce the key concepts that you will need in order to have a good time reading more serious texts"
-
Introduction to Microprocessors- [WEBPAGE] So wonderfully written for a novice like me, I wonder what this guy is doing today.
-
An Overview of the Embedded Rust Ecosystem- [YOUTUBE TALK] by @TheZoq2. Really useful to get a overaching view from the lower levels(manual manupilation of registors, PACs) to higher level abstractions(HALs, BSP) and embeded-HAL which ties everything together.
-
The Discovery Book- [WEBPAGE/BOOK] Part of a larger project that can be found here. Really nicely written, holds your hand through setting up your dev env, a micro bit microcontroller, SPI, I2C with examples which was much appreciated.
-
awesome-embedded-rust- [GITHUB REPO] The quintissential embedded rust resource.
- The Chan-Vese Algorithm – [PAPER] An active contour segmentation method effective for objects without well-defined edges. skimage API
- Accelerating Chan-Vese Model with Cross Modality Guided Contrast Enhancement for Liver Segmentation- [PAPER] contrast enhancement as preprocessing step and gpu implementation of Chan-Vese. They do not provide any code, only the design.
- Software optimization resources – [WEBPAGE] Manuals on optimizing C++ and assembly for different platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS), guides to Intel and AMD CPU architectures, and more.
- What does it mean for code to be "cache-friendly"? – [FORUM]
- On memory optimization (by the folks over at Sony) – [PDF]
- C++ Design Patterns for Low-latency Applications Including High-frequency Trading – [PAPER] Cache warming,
constexpr, and more. - Follow-up discussion on 4 – [FORUM] Hacker News thread with helpful commentary.
- Inside HRT’s Python Fork: Leveraging PEP 690 for Faster Imports – [BLOG] HRT uses a python monorepoe, more services=more imports, of which only a subset of definitons are actually used. They talk about how they use lazy imports to prevent interpretor related slowdowns.
- Git fetch vs pull – [BLOG] Why you should use
git fetch+ merge/rebase instead ofpull. Probably the clearest explanation of Git I’ve encountered.
Note: “Quant” here is used very loosely — this section doesn’t only focus on QIS or highly formal mathematical finance.
- arXiv Quantitative Finance archive – [PAPER]
- AQR Capital – [WEBPAGE] One of the few management firms consistently publishing high-quality, research-driven blogs.
- Quantocracy – [WEBPAGE] Curated mashup of quantitative trading links.
- A guide to Brownian motion and related stochastic processes- [PDF]
- A short history of stochastic integration and mathematical finance: The early years, 1880–1970- [PDF]
- More on Gaussian Processes - [WEBPAGE]
- Financial Market Complexity by Neil Johnson et all- 2003, A physicits take on financial mathematics.
- An Introduction to the Mathematics of Financial Derivatives- 1998/2000, This is imo, one of the more gentler introduction to pricing intruments & the math behind it, includes: Probability, Martingales & how they are used in stochastic modelling, Weiner processes, Integration in SP & PDE's. The text also was written, in the author's words to " explain the assumptions and concepts behind the (math) tools & relate them to dynamic asset pricing theory". I personally found the untilization of examples helpful, most of which are simple enough to allow for some intutiveness but are based in reality.
- A Full Guide to Risk Management – [BLOG] Covers risk metrics like VaR, volatility modeling, and more—with code.
- SEBI's working papers- [WEBPAGE]
- SEBI's links for market data- [WEBPAGE]

- Graphene as a sample support in TEM – [PAPER]
- Analyzing 2D material microstructure via TEM – [PAPER]
- Deep learning for defect analysis in TEM – [PAPER]
- DefectTrack: real-time defect tracking in in-situ TEM – [PAPER]
- STEM image analysis with deep learning – [PAPER] CNNs for identifying sulfur vacancies & MoS₂ polymorphs.
Note: I wish my lexicon weren't so pathetic that I couldn't describe how I feel about some of the books here. But I'll be selective with what I add; each one means something to me. I'd love to talk about any of these,feel free to email me, open an issue, or just reach out somehow.
- manazuru by Hiromi Kawakami- 2006. Hiromi Kawakami is simply her (yet again). I had only read some of her shorter works like Parade before this, and found them unusual yet interesting, but Manazuru helped me better understand and appreciate her style. It's written from the perspective of a child, a wife, and a mother: I'm obviously not familiar with the latter two. Does the sense of the individual come before any of those titles? It makes me think about my own parents; I've only ever known my mother as my mother. I want to know more of what was there, before.
- The Iliad of Homer / retold by Barbara Leonie Picard- 1960,
- Uncommon sense : the heretical nature of science / Alan Cromer- 1995, "Is science natural to humans and the way they have evolved" is the fundamental question answered through different civilizations and different epochs of time.
- Fukushima - The Dirty Truth about Japan's Nuclear Nightmare | Investigate Asia- I've always been curious in knowing more about fukushima and this scratches all my itches.
