Seldom without a computer of some sort since graduating from the University of British Columbia in 1978, I have been a full-time Linux user since 2005, a full-time Solaris and SunOS user from 1986 through 2005, and UNIX System V user before that.
On the technical side of things, I have spent a great deal of my career as a consultant, doing data analysis and visualization; especially spatial data analysis. I have a substantial amount of related programming experience, using C, awk, Java, Python, PostgreSQL, PostGIS and lately Groovy. I'm looking at Julia with great interest. I have also built a few desktop and web-based applications, primarily in Java and lately in Grails with lots of JavaScript on the front end and PostgreSQL as my database of choice.
Aside from that, I spend a considerable amount of time writing proposals, technical reports and - of course - stuff on https://www.opensource.com.

Thanks for your comment, JELaBarre. Lately it seems RedHat is taking over supporting OpenJDK 8 and 11:

I read somewhere that this will include the IcedTea Net plugin to provide JNLP. So maybe this will solve your problem?
Nice article, Moshe!
A typo?
unnormalized_moment = darry.mean(arr * arr * arr)
should be
unnormalized_moment = darray.mean(arr * arr * arr)
