Current interests

Here I list topics that are of interest to me in addition of my past and current academic or professional experiences. The level of ability and ignorance varies. Another good starting point is my Amazon wish list.

I am spending time on Reddit as tony_bruguier, and I try to limit the discussions to technical topics. I occasionnaly ask questions on Stackoverflow. I have contributed to Wikipedia under my name. I do not spend much time there anymore because the topics that are not covered well are often outside my knowledge, or are under constant debate or trolling.

See also a lightly-edited blog.

I work for Google. This is my opinion, not my company's. To see the complete list:
