You can see nicely formatted summaries of my profile onOSS insight orcoder stats.

And there's this website which ranks users by number of commits:

• 🔭 I’m currently working oneskom-calendar, a completely free source of Eskom Loadshedding information.
• I'm also completing my Master's in Computer Science at Stellenbosch University, South Africa

I enjoy exploring different tools, so have dabbled with a fair number of things over the years. Here's an approximate list:

• Rust, Python, Typescript, Java, Haskell, HTML/CSS, Arduino, C++
• Tailwind, Teloxide, Svelte, TensorFlow/Keras, BeautifulSoup, Godot, Shuttle.rs

Here are some ideas/concepts that I think are cool

• Regex
• Bloom filters
• bitboards,smaller bitboards
• gregarious catterpillar motion
• how to communicate the presence of nuclear waste repositories to future generations
• Shamir's secrets sharing scheme
• blue LEDs
• charlieplexing
• the remarkably simple mechanism behind knobs and dials
• Using logarithms to do multiplication without doing multiplication (à la thisWelsch Labs video) (alsoslide rules and analogue computers)
• The idea of the Infinite Game12

  There are at least two kinds of games: finite and infinite. A finitegame is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for thepurpose of continuing the play. Finite games are those instrumentalactivities - from sports to politics to wars - in which the participantsobey rules, recognize boundaries and announce winners and losers.The infinite game - there is only one - includes any authentic interaction,from touching to culture, that changes rules, plays with boundariesand exists solely for the purpose of continuing the game. A finite playerseeks power; the infinite one displays self-sufficient strength.

• Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements by Henry T. Brown
• Colour Spaces and human colour perception (okLAB,Subtleties of Color)
• Byte Pair Encoding
• How diffusion models generate images from noise
• How generative adversarial networks pit two models against each other
• How autoencoders perform dimensionality reduction
• the work byantithesis on a bug-finding system that is automated and reproducible by running your entire codebase on a deterministic hypervisor
• This count-total-zeros algorithm:

function count-total-zeros (x)    if x = 0 return 32    n ← 0    if (x & 0x0000FFFF) = 0: n ← n + 16, x ← x >> 16    if (x & 0x000000FF) = 0: n ← n +  8, x ← x >>  8    if (x & 0x0000000F) = 0: n ← n +  4, x ← x >>  4    if (x & 0x00000003) = 0: n ← n +  2, x ← x >>  2    if (x & 0x00000001) = 0: n ← n +  1    return n

I like fixing things, so if I can take 30m to make a fix to an open source library, I usually will:

• seaborn: Fix: shifting margins caused by multiple rugplots
• pandas: CLN: Replace confusing brackets with backticks
• rust-lang/rust: docs: add link from zip to unzip
• awscurl: Fix: Booleans verify and insecure are not interchangable
• zotero-reference
• Shuttle
  • shuttle-docs
  • shuttle-docs
  • shuttle
  • shuttle
• Calio12
• rust-analyzer
• tea.xyz12
• matklad.github.io
• utoipa
• postman-code-generators
• petgraph
• pyTooling/Actions
• keras
• arduino/reference-en
• tensorflow/tflite-micro
• IsaacShelton/update-existing-release12

(You can usethis github search to see the full list of PRs I've made which were merged and which were not from my main project eskom-calendar.)

If you reach out to me, please include a Dune reference in your first message to indicate that you've read this page.

This helps me figure out who's sending a million cold calls to random people online and who's actually interested in what I have to offer.
