About this blog
This blog is intended as a place to share things that I think are worth sharing in an informal setting. The site is just starting out, but I expect it to include my own work and discussions of other’s work that I found interesting and useful. Suggestions are most welcome.
About the name
NaN means “not a number”, which is often what you get when something goes horribly wrong in your code. As any scientific programmer will know, it is all to common to excitedly print the output of some long-running simulation only to find … it’s all damn NaNs! Hopefully this blog can help someone, somewhere, sometime do more science and get less NaNs.
