There are multiple ways to compute the “average” value of an array of numbers. One of such ways is the geometric mean . For a sample $x = \{ x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n \}$, the geometric means is defined as follows: $$ \operatorname{GM}(x) = \sqrt[n]{x_1 x_2 \ldots x_n} $$ This approach is widely recommended for some specific tasks. Let’s say we want to compare the performance of two machines $M_x$ and $M_y$. In order to do this, we design a s....

By the end of this guide we'll have a minimal, working implementation of a small part of Lua from scratch. It will be able to run the following program (among others): function fib ( n ) if n < 2 then return n ; end local n1 = fib ( n - 1 ); local n2 = fib ( n - 2 ); return n1 + n2 ; end print ( fib ( 30 )); This is my second project in Rust and only the third ....

When The Digital Antiquarian released his System Shock retrospective earlier this year, I was in awe. System Shock was one of my favorite games back in the day, and yes, in the quarrel between id Software’s DOOM and Looking Glass’s System Shock, I was siding with the latter. I was so much more for immersion and storyline than shoot ’em-ups. The Antiquarian article is excellent. If you’re into gaming history or, really, into computer’s his..

I’m not a regular philosophy reader, much less of self-improvement guides. I’m wary of the latter and too ignorant for the former. Yet, theologian Vito Mancuso has intrigued me for some time. I followed his podcast on the “Four Masters of Life” 1 and found it excellent. In it, Mancuso discusses his four tutelary deities: “Socrates, the educator. Buddha, the physician. Confucius, the politician. Jesus, the prophet.” I also listened to som..

Tornadoes are big and scary; and they’re beyond the control of ordinary civilians, so it’s the perfect scenario for helpful government intervention. It’s existential threats like these that remind us why we need governments; but perhaps too it serves as a prompt to consider if we could replace governments with something else.

It’s my first Christmas being a dad. The end of the school semester was unusually stressful; I didn’t have much time or energy to anticipate Christmas. But I’ve felt a marked lack of eagerness for getting presents. That feeling wanes each year—something I’m grateful for—but this year I only felt an eagerness for a time of peace and celebration with my family. Peaceful it has been. My family isn’t perfect. (My baby daughter is about as p....

So… first of all, despite the possibly technical sounding title, this isn't a post on programming, networking, or the like… If you came here expecting that… sorry to disappoint you… This is on my (and actually our) personal takes on nosology, clinical psychology, and psychiatry… It's yet another post I've been wanting to write for a long time… and it might require some further research… Anyway, let's get started.

The truth of the matter is this: open source is never going to be perfect (nothing is!). It’s up to us (as community members) to leave things better than we found them, and help improve the state of open source.

I recently had the situation where a Bootstrap application: Worked perfectly on a desktop with a side by side layout Properly wrapped on desktop when the window was resized down to a mobile like form factor Failed to ever wrap on mobile showing just a smaller version of the desktop I puzzled over this quite a bit until I ran a google search for "bootstrap text too small on mobile" which led me to this directive:
