The transphobes are approaching from a new angle, and somehow it is even worse. — introduction For the uninitiated, the 2020s have been a terrible decade for transgender people. I guess it has been a terrible decade for humanity in general, but in this case I am specifically referring to the sharp rise in transphobia that has occurred in a very short period of time beginning…

Some quick tips to bring your Julia software to the next level — After using Julia for about 6 years now (wow, it really has been that long) I have truly fallen in love with this programming language over all other programming languages. In some ways, this comes down to personal preference — multiple dispatch as a paradigm feels like an incredibly natural…

How to write functions in Julia, except we review every possible way to do so. — Introduction So, Julia. What is so great about Julia as a programming language? Those coming from other programming languages likely wonder what all of the Julian fuss is about, and what makes Julia such a loved programming language by many who write it. I of course cannot speak on behalf of…

I made a web-scraping library! — One of the best things about developing my web-development framework, Toolips , is the vast number of applications the framework has now had — allowing me to create more projects and more really awesome things. The most prominent example of this is likely Gattino ; which pulls Toolips into the…

Doing Data Science with less memory. — Memory is a significant problem in the world of Scientific Computing. One of the most prominent solutions to this problem is called lazy execution. Lazy execution allows for data to exist as a Function of itself. Rather than holding data in memory, a computational avenue to that data is built…

Sharing some updates on the status of various Chifi ecosystems. — up to speed For a long time now, I have dedicated most of my open organized time to creating my own ecosystem in Julia for Data Science from a web-development perspective. This has culminated in the creation of five unique ecosystems aimed at different aspects of Data Science. Toolips — A web-development framework. …

Spearheading my new algebraic data framework. — introduction Over the course of the past couple years, I have made significant strides towards building my own Data Science software ecosystem for the Julia langauge. This ecosystem is meant to encompass Data Science from a web-driven perspective, and the target audience for this type of ecosystem is Data Scientists who…

Some common pitfalls in feature selection and feature engineering, and how to get around them — Introduction Data Science is a complicated discipline which features skills from several domains compiled into one field with incredibly varied applications. The complex nature of this field brings about complications when it comes to education, and also serves to make Data Science pretty difficult to get started with. There are many…

Some of the more strange possibilities of the Julia programming language. — julia is weird Something I have always appreciated about the Julia programming language is that it is rather novel. While there certainly are other languages which are fast and easy to use, there are not many of those which also feature multiple dispatch as a programming paradigm. Furthermore, few of those languages would…
