Do you remember the last time you saw a before-and-after photo of a an overweight person losing more than a hundred pounds? On the left, they look bloated, and their facial expression often betrays sadness. On the right, they’ve slimmed down, posing with their old clothes for comparison. And inevitably their face glows and they radiate confidence and positive outlook. I’m really fascinated and in awe when I hear about a person who had ser....

It's rare throughout history that any people would have an opportunity to reshape their government without war or the threat of violence. Brexit is such an opportunity and should be treated as such.

From the Intel x86 Manual : In the mid-1960s, Intel cofounder and Chairman Emeritus Gordon Moore had this observation: “… the number of transistors that would be incorporated on a silicon die would double every 18 months for the next several years.” Over the past three and half decades, this prediction known as “Moore’s Law” has continued to hold true. Moore’s Law is coming up a lot lately in the context of coming to an end. It’s k....

I started dipping into some firmware and hardware things on my vacation and unemployment and I figured I would take you down my journey as well. Baseboard management controller The first thing I dipped into was openbmc . This is pretty cool. At face value it has support for a lot of different boards. It uses IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) to perform tasks for monitoring and operating the components of a computer. The IP....

You can spend quite a bit of your programming career without working with trees, or just by simply avoiding them if you don’t understand them (which is what I had been doing for a while).

I’ve learned a lot of skills over the course of my career, but no technical skill more useful than SQL. SQL stands out to me as the most valuable skill for a few reasons: It is valuable across different roles and disciplines Learning it once doesn’t really require re-learning You seem like a superhero. You seem extra powerful when you know it because of the amount of people that aren’t fluent Let me drill into each of these a bit furt....

I remember seeing too much of this up close and personal. I was kicked out of one church, not for trying to expose it, but just trying to get it to stop. This has a lot to do with why the conservative push faded out some years ago; too much of the immoral shenanigans were associated with conservative activists.

I thought it would be fun to start a blog post series containing design docs from my personal archive that never saw the light of day. This will be the first of the series. It contains what I thought about in detail for a general multi-tenant secured container orchestrator. The use case would be for running third party code securely isolated from each other. If you would like to see this in google doc form it also lives here . Requirement....

A few weeks ago, I was out at a social event with a bunch of guys and gals from the local Linux/UNIX/developer/IT community (contrary to popular opinion, Linux/UNIX people know how to party hard). At one point during the night, we were sitting at a round booth and poking fun at a total Apple fanboy in our group. Someone called him a “Cult of Mac member” and he replied, “And proud to be one - I could write the book on the cult!” to which I..

So I’ve been working with a containerized solution recently which runs outside of Kuberenetes using an Azure VMSS to scale out. I won’t dive into the reasons why we went down this route but one really interesting thing came of out of it. How do you automatically healthcheck a container outside of Kubernetes? Well it turns out docker has this covered in newer versions. You can specify a HEALTHCHECK inside the docker file to monitor the co..

Unlike for circles, there isn’t a simple exact closed formula for the perimeter of an ellipse. We compare several well-known approximations, and conclude that a formula discovered by Ramanujan is our favourite, due to its simplicity and extreme accuracy. Published: 11th February 2019 Last updated: 22th November 2020 An ellipse satisfies that equation: $$ … Continue reading "A Formula for the Perimeter of an Ellipse"

The prediction of secondary RNA structures is an interesting and important problem in bioinformatics. It is by no means at the forefront of the area, but still cool to look at as an introduction to bio(informatics/computation). This post will introduce the Nussinov-Jacobson algorithm for predicting and building secondary fold structures of RNA sequences. It is … Continue reading "Nussinov algorithm to predict secondary RNA fold structure..

Recently, a reader of this blog tracked me down on Facebook and asked me a very interesting question. Just to be clear, I don’t recommend doing this (even if I am indulging this behavior by writing this post). I may be terrible at answering questions, but I’m somewhat responsive over email , so maybe try me there first. Anyway, the question went something roughly like: × And by roughly , I mean exactly , give..

Wow, talk about a belated post. I know the middle of February is a bit late to be wishing anyone a happy start to the year, but it’s my blog and you can’t tell me what to do. So - Happy New Year!
