C Program to Plot the Gamma Function in the Terminal

In this post I want to talk about a C program I wrote just recently that plots a mathematical function - specifically the gamma function. I think it's worth looking at, because this program demonstrates how to handle the various aspects of graphing and plotting using just ASCII characters in the terminal. The program draws …

Obfuscated Unix Scripting with dc

So I realized that I liked the concept behind Obfuscated Unix Scripting with sed and I thought I'd make a series. There are a number of scripting languages native to Unix, and many of them qualify as being what you would call "obfuscated". One such language is the classic Unix calculator known as dc. This …

Adding Set Types to the C Programming Language

Well, it's been over a month since my last post, so it's high time I got back into it. I kinda got distracted by other stuff on other sites, most notably DeviantArt and Discord. But I'm back now, and hopefully I'll be able to post more consistently in the future. This is my third article …

Drawing State Diagrams in SVG

SVG is ideal for a lot of drawing applications that are vector-oriented in nature. Specifically it's very good for drawing diagrams and charts. A diagram drawn in SVG will take up far less space on the hard drive than one drawn in a raster graphics editor like GIMP, and it will also be far easier …

libdfloat: A C Library for Exact Representation of Decimal Floating Point Numbers

Guys, something really awesome just happened!... I actually finished one of my large-scale coding projects! I'd like to introduce you to libdfloat, a C library for representing decimal numbers without any rounding errors. I started this project as an offshoot of my CSV library when I realized that there was a need for a mechanism …

Adding Rational Types to the C Programming Language

One of the main problems with the C programming language as opposed to something like Python is that it doesn't provide any of the convenient amenities that more high-level languages provide in terms of abstract data types. Basically, you have to implement everything yourself. C provides integer types and floating point types, and that's basically …

A Mathematical Musing: How Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory Proves the Existence of God

I actually met God the other day. Not God the man in the sky with a beard that retarded normies believe in, but the metaphysical concept of God that transcends human understanding. God is not a He or a She. God is an It. God is such an esoteric concept that only a deranged lunatic …

Corona-Chan Project, Part 5: Final Model-Fitting Program

The linear relationship indicated by the graph shown in Part 4 of this series has shed light on something I overlooked when I was doing that part of the research. Specifically, it indicates that we can actually reduce the system of equations being graphed to a system of two linear equations in two variables. For …

Corona-Chan Project, Part 4: Fitting the Model to the Data

So the last business week was pretty fucking insane. We had a three-day bull run in the stock market due to the Coronavirus bill being authored by Congress, and then for some reason the stock market crashed again after the bill passed. It's all over the place, and probably will continue to be that way …

Corona-Chan Project, Part 3: Analyzing the Prediction Function

This article will be building on my research in the previous two articles on the Corona-Chan Project, so if you haven't read Parts 1 and 2, you might want to go back and do that: Project for Quarantine Period: Tracking the Coronavirus Outbreak Using Calculus and C Corona-Chan Project Update: Smoothing the Prediction Function First …
