So here we are. We have finally made it to a place where we can transition with confidence from the classical continuous Fourier transform to the discrete version, which is the foundation for applications of Fourier analysis to programming. Indeed, we are quite close to unfurling the might of the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm, which efficiently computes the discrete Fourier transform. But because of its focus on algorithmic techniques, w..

Meet Andrew Pascoe, data scientist! At AdRoll, product is everything. In order to continue offering our customers the most innovative and effective platform in the retargeting space, we’ve made some rockstar additions to our engineering team as of late, growing our eng. team 50% this year. Andrew will contribute to the algorithms powering our efficient real-time bidder (RTBoodah) and the intelligent crunching of the vast amount....

Since June 2011 Google is supporting to set the rel canonical via the Canonical HTTP Header. This is great for PDF files, but nobody seems to have mentioned images? Does it even work?

A few weeks ago I was sitting at the hotel in Zurich with Jacob Kaplan Moss prior to DjangoCon EU enjoying a beer, talking about Django, and discussing a bit about our upcoming talks for the conference. He talked briefly about his upcoming keynote and how he was doing something different, including essentially 5 mini-talks. This seemed interesting enough, but the part that surprised me was when Jacob said, “I’m among friends here so i....

I’ve been running a few experiments and trials with Impact, just to get some stuff working that I wasn’t sure about before. One of these tests that I think will come in useful is having the player grow as it eats or picks up objects. I actually saw a couple of people getting to my blog through search terms related to Impact entity scaling and growth, so thought I’d outline the method I’ve been using here. This is probably not the neatest or..

Hi, It’s very early days at the moment but I’m going to be looking for some beta testers over the next couple of weeks. I had a great group of testers on WP7 and they helped make the app what it is now, hopefully we can do the same with this. The same logic as with the WP7 app, you have to be willing to give lots of feedback and use an application that isn’t finished, with bugs. Win 8 Machine is mandatory.

If you’re a frequent flyer (like i’ve oddly enough become recently) you probably have status with your airline that gives you lounge access for when you’re flying. Also, if you’re a frequent flyer, you probably also really enjoy drinking and paying as little as possible for it. So here’s a way that you (and sometimes also your entire family) can all have unlimited party nights out — on your airline’s dollar! Decide you want to party and n..

Problem: Compute a reasonable approximation to a “streaming median” of a potentially infinite sequence of integers. Solution: (in Python) def streamingMedian(seq): seq = iter(seq) m = 0 for nextElt in seq: if m > nextElt: m -= 1 elif m < nextElt: m += 1 yield m Discussion: Before we discuss the details of the Python implementation above, we should note a few things. First, because the input sequence is potentially infinite, we can’t store a..

After a year of writing this blog, what have I learned about the nature of the relationship between computer programs and mathematics? Here are a few notes that sum up my thoughts, roughly in order of how strongly I agree with them. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Programming is absolutely great for exploring questions and automating tasks. Mathematics is absolutely great for distilling the soul of a problem.

This is, hopefully, the beginning of my personal blog entries. I've started to blog several times over the years and only gotten this far. We'll see how this attempt turns out. I want to write my personal thoughts on here, technical discussions about computing, and pictures of cats in top hats if I have the resources to spare. My email address is at the bottom of the site. If you want to give me any sort of feedback, go for it. ..

There was no stand-up this morning and it felt like my day never really started. It was my first day at my new job with CIBC and, even though I knew that the team was not agile before signing up for the gig, I had underestimated how much I depended upon our daily rituals practices at Intelliware. These practices provided a rhythm and cadence to the day that I had taken for granted.

Earlier this week while I was at DjangoCon EU there seemed to be a surprising amount of talk about MongoDB. My problem with this isn’t with MongoDB, but in the assumption that only Mongo can solve what you’re looking for. By and far the most common feature is people want schemaless. It gives them flexibility in their data model and lets them iterate quickly. While I still opt for relational models that map cleanly to a relational database....

Hi, Version 3.6 is going through certification at the moment, it fixes issues with articles displaying incorrectly and several other bugs. On a side note it was great to be recognised as one of the best news apps on the platform in the community app awards, so thank you to all those who voted! http://appawards.wp7applist.com/c/best-news-app Let me know how you get on with the new version!

Last time we investigated the naive (which I’ll henceforth call “classical”) notion of the Fourier transform and its inverse. While the development wasn’t quite rigorous, we nevertheless discovered elegant formulas and interesting properties that proved useful in at least solving differential equations. Of course, we wouldn’t be following this trail of mathematics if it didn’t result in some worthwhile applications to programming. While we’..
