programming

Nice "initiation" article/post about "Perceptual Hashing".

Its continuation (of sorts) it's also a worthy read (2nd jump).

Stephen Wolfram introduces the Wolfram Language.

To follow intently and revisit later.

Roger Alsing used Genetic Programming to evolve Mona Lisa from scratch, using only 50 semi-transparent polygons.

Some of the progressive evolutions are depicted below:

A clever algorithm/paper that presents a way to upscale/vectorize pixel art, with interesting results.

Quality can't be gained but, "educated guesses" (like in this case), can go a long way in improving perceived quality when dealing with the magnification of such small pixel representations.

Or.

The tale of how Roy van Rijn "re-invented" music matching in one spare weekend...

From 2008, the one that started it all.

A handy (and, also, the best possible) mnenmonic for remembering the CSS shorthand (pun!) for setting the margin/padding property:

This works well for remembering both the starting point (Top) and the remaining order (Right-Bottom-Left).

Coding evolutionary processes with Processing.

From Daniel Shiffman's book: "The Nature of Code".

Brave new world. Programmable, ultra-thin, modular electronics are just here.

Modular electronics for the masses. Bringing this approach to the physical world allows for easy(ier) assembly/programming, and thus, effectively, lowering the entry barriers for the uninitiated.

Plus.

All the modules are also open source.
