Example of calculating the probability of a word, from character probabilities
# A python example of calculating the probability of the word 'hine'
# See https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/quick-heads-up-on-some-metadata-confidence-estimate-work-were-doing/40618/2
# The probability that a word is incorrect before the nth letter:
def p_not_word(n, probabilities):
if n == 0:
return 0
else:
return probabilities[n - 1] * p_not_word(n - 1, probabilities) + \
(1 - probabilities[n - 1])

I sometimes need to work out when I worked on a project. This is a one-liner bash script that gives me a list of all my commits on a project that I can use to reconstruct my time-sheets.
#!/bin/sh
git log --date='short' --format='%ad %an %s' | grep $1

Hexagonal tiling for PostGIS
-- Hexagonal tiling for PostGIS
-------------------------------
-- Edward Abraham, Dragonfly Science
-- Use freely
-- Functions for generating tiles in a hexagonal tiling, from cartesian
-- coordinates. The tiling is made of hexagons defined by their 'width'
-- (the distance bewteen two parallel sides). The hexagon with index (0, 0)
-- is centered on the point x=0, y=0, and is oriented so that it points
-- upwards. Hexagons in the same row have the same j-coordinate, and hexagons
