In my day job(s), a translator from Russian to English specializing in arts and technology-related material; also a philosopher / descriptive logician. My first book, Towards a Science of Belief Systems, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2014. My second is scheduled to appear in late 2016.
Hobbyist programmer. Given how many people use computers every day, I think it's a shame more don't know at least the rudiments of how they work and how to program them. To encourage more to learn, I've written a very short tutorial called Programming Degree Zero, to be used with a minimal computer that can be programmed in binary machine code from a simulated front panel in a browser window. If you're interested, check out the tutorial at http://www.edmundgriffiths.com/degreezero.html and the minimal computer at http://www.edmundgriffiths.com/czero.html. The implementation of the iterated prisoner's dilemma with AI opponent in 32 bytes of code and data is probably the one program I've ever written that I'm genuinely proud of.
