subset-sum-pisinger

Posted on September 30, 2020September 30, 2020 by Peter Thorpe

npm module I wrote that solves subset sum problem in linear time for the special case of all x_i positive and bounded by some constant C that is greater than or equal to each integer in the input set. One of the most fun projects I’ve done in a while, combining algorithms, unit testing, and discrete math. Until I published this module, I could not find any implementations of Pisinger’s 2004 iterative, linear time solution to this problem.

Book Cover -- Can we finally have an honest conversation about Race?

Can we finally have an honest conversation about Race?

Posted on August 29, 2020August 29, 2020 by Peter Thorpe

In this book, I argue that we must end the self-censorship on the deep issues of race that we’ve engaged in for too long out of a fear of awakening humanity’s basest instincts. Rather than promoting hatred, I argue that the science of human nature, now understood better than ever before, is both necessary and expedient in resolving the spiraling cycle of racial agitation that is brewing across the United States.

Living with a Colombian family in Bogotá part 4: Chiquinquirá

Posted on May 17, 2020May 19, 2020 by Peter Thorpe

The sign describes how the well came about as a result of digging at the site done by pilgrims centuries ago. The water within the well has been certified to be very pure, and it is used by hundreds of pilgrims from across the world as a religious relic for use in baptisms and sacramental blessings. I ran my hands around the perimeter of the well, and felt honored to have the opportunity to stand where such an important event to the Colombian people had taken place. I stood on the same ground that María Ramos had knelt upon almost half a millennium ago, and I felt a sense of solidarity with the Colombian piety that permeated the place.

Living with a Colombian family in Bogotá part 3: Monserrate

Posted on November 25, 2019November 27, 2019 by Peter Thorpe

Two things really stand out when you’re that high up. The first is the expansive view of the city of Bogotá. When you look down from the mountaintop, the buildings below look like an endless stream of gray lego blocks that stretch to the ends of the Earth, far beyond the limits of what the naked eye can perceive, and right above them you see the clouds, seeming to hang lower than usual in the sky, making a kind of sandwich formation with the rectangular structures below.
