In this article, I presented a new client for the great mldonkey service. That client is a WebApp, so it needs to be served by a specific backend. The backend[...]
In the latest version of the mldonkey-next application, I added two new features and some bug fixes. The latest tag in docker hub contains all these features and fixes. Log[...]
This is a simple list of terms and definitions useful when studying machine learning. I found it useful to create the list for me, but may be useful to others[...]

The old days of OpenMAX and omxplayer are now almost gone. Raspberry Pi has long moved to DRM/KMS and V4L2. Using omxplayer from Qt had the great benefit of reducing[...]
Introduction While writing my crate for Isogeometric Analysis, I found myself in need of testing the Bézier implementation somehow. I thought it would be fun, as usual, to test with[...]
Introduction There are important curves that cannot be represented precisely using Bézier curves. However, some of those curves, can be represented with rational Bézier curves. While writing my crate on[...]
