Next step is determining the roots of the characteristic polynomial of a matrix. Before working on extracting the roots using Newton’s method I wanted to be able to visualize the function.
First we need to, given a square matrix as an input, return the characteristic polynomial, which basically is a function taking x as an argument and returning the determinant of the input matrix where x is subtracted for every element on the diagonal...

I’m currently reading Deep Learning, from Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville. While reading I got interested in calculating the determinant of a square matrix, I know there are many existing libraries to do that but the algorithm looked...

This is, by far, my longest running side project. I’ve started it before moving to London, so around December 2014 and now I’m so proud to announce it is ready and released on GitHub.
BPG Converter enables BPG support in the browser. BPG is a new image format that can achieve very detailed images in a fraction of space of other most common formats, such as PNG. Unfortunately BPG is not currently supported by any browser. But wait...

Lately I found myself spending a considerable amount of time playing with Service Worker. This is an insanely interesting new HTML5 feature that basically allow us to define a JS file as a ‘proxy’ between the actual page and the server. The so defined...
