e-萌

So it dawned on me that I’m going through this phase of emo-ness which was the in-thing to have for teenagers about half a decade ago. Well. Do I have a time machine? I sure don’t think so. I’d try to get with the times (especially considering I’m not going to be a teenager for [...]

I still think subpixel antialiasing on fonts is terrible

This post isn’t going to be long because it’s 12:42 am now and I have real life to attend to in less than eight hours. Over the past few years I’ve basically used Windows XP as a non-main OS, with my main OS being Ubuntu. My font rendering of choice has been, since my switch [...]

More graphs

So I was thinking about graphs again (this was actually last month, but blogging is way too much effort). The post about chromatic numbers in February (who am I kidding there were only two posts in February) basically had represented as a grid on the surface of a torus. One thing about square lattice grids [...]

I accidentally my email

You may know (or rather, should know) I had a user name related to some convergent of π registered at Google. What you might not know is that some time in December I was being dumb and got it deactivated. What you don’t know is that I had all of two months to fix this, [...]

More stuff

So, way back in 2009, I was doing some “research” on one-dimensional cellular automaton. Nothing much ever came out of that actually (apart from one high school research project), but whatever. On a side note a lot of things in computing technology now are pretty retarded design. YCbCr is stupid. Why? Because gamma correction is [...]

Magick

Take a magic square. You have the rules that all the rows and columns add up to some constant. Normally a restriction is also imposed on the diagonal sums. For purposes of ease of manipulation, let that constant (also known as the magic constant) be 0. We’re going to ignore the restriction that the square [...]

;colours

Blah blah blah chromatic numbers of graphs. This one isn’t too hard to prove. Given a -colouring of , group the vertices by colour, then since the vertices with the same colour induce a null subgraph of (correspondingly, a complete subgraph of ), is at least the size of the largest group of vertices, which [...]

What’s this

I had an idea in mind for a blog post (which as you can see happens very rarely nowadays) but got interrupted by being forced to evict my room. As you may know, I’m now participating in compulsory slave labour for the country. If you didn’t, now you know. I don’t like the experience there. [...]

Ammonia

TAKE YOUR SHITTY ARGUMENTS ELSEWHERE I DON’T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU‒ well scratch that there are some people I have to want to listen to even if they infuriate me much. I’d like to point out a certain flaw about the word “want” as used in common speech. At the very basic level you [...]
