We often read that code reviews are a good idea. Bugs can be found, people are encouraged to keep to team standards, know-how is spread in both directions and code becomes more maintainable.

Spline Approximation (Mathematics)
The goal of spline approximation has already been explained in the previous article „Spline Approximation (Introduction)„. This article will cover the mathematics behind this approximation and develop an approach. If you do not care about the mathematics, just skip this article and read the Spline Approximation (Cookbook)“, that will come soon. Spline Interpolation We have …
Spline Approximation (Introduction)
We sometimes encounter a situation where a number of points with coordinates are given and we want to find a function such that for all of these points we have (interpolation) or (approximation). Most often we say that we want on average to be as small as possible and for whatever reasons usually the quadratic …

Functional Scala
I participated online in the conference „Functional Scala 2020“ in London. That it was in London had mostly one relevance, which was the time zone. There was no physical location and all talks were done online. An interesting idea was a virtual location. It consisted of rooms and we could move a dot representing ourselves …
How to disable touchpad (on Linux/X11)
For me it is much better to use an external mouse than the touchpad, which I sometimes touch accidentally. So, here is how to disable it with a short Perl-Script. A bash script with a bit of Perl would do the same, btw. #!/usr/bin/perl my $tp = `xinput list | egrep -i touch`; chomp $tp; …

So the …
