Well I’ve been looking into using R to calculate the tukey test. I’m doing this because I have a 10 files of 200,000 integers (all around 5000 and above). That is about 200MB per file. So, right now the ANOVA with a post hoc tukey test takes about 1hr to run in Mathematica. THIS IS… Continue reading large numbers
Touchscreen for touchpads
Would be neat to have a color touch screen that acted as the touchpad for a laptop. It could make gestures easier, allow you to maybe see your clipboard, show your password here instead of on your monitor (less easy for someone to observe this way). I’m sure there would be a lot of superficial… Continue reading Touchscreen for touchpads
Man vs Machine
Some people (not me) believe that we are the result of random chemical interactions. I wonder what the probability is that they assign to us existing. Because it has to be less than the probability of machine men existing. The existence of such machines would fit more into the notion of evolving randomly by fitness… Continue reading Man vs Machine

Thoughts on Humor
I wonder if humor is universal? If all languages have a form of humor. I know some languages only have rudimentary term for quantity or numbers. So, do they have humor? Humor doesn’t seem like something that would need to be present in a language. Programming languages certainly don’t. However, you can’t have a conversation… Continue reading Thoughts on Humor
Microgrid thoughts
There are numereous hurdles to get through before we start seeing microgrid electricity economies. The first which has already been dealt with by http://www.homerenergy.com is a microgrid simulator that simulates and suggests solutions to the first problem of determining number and type of alternative energy resources are needed for an area. Then we need to be able… Continue reading Microgrid thoughts
Clash of Clans
David found a super bowl commercial on the Clash of Clans game I play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC2qk2X3fKA To funny :).
N-Queens
n-queens problem is a very interesting problem. Especially when you start imagining more than 2 dimensions and start thinking d-dimensions it becomes an even more interesting and challenging combinatorics problem. The link also points to some applications including traffic control, which makes sense.
Unix commands
Need to read this website http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/index.html.
Chocolatey (package manager)
Chocolatey is a package manager for windows. This is something that I think all windows users should consider getting. Even if you don’t use the command line there is a GUI to interact with it https://chocolatey.org/packages/ChocolateyGUI. You can add new packages to chocolatey.org and take advantage of their automatic packages to make it so if you update… Continue reading Chocolatey (package manager)
