Joy of Computing

Visualizing algorithms is the most fun way to teach, learn, and comprehend them! I had an actual use case for this at work, and it was gratifying to make a fun visual explanation for it. — Alec

Pipet is a set of commands to store and retrieve snippets of text. It uses a fuzzy finder for retrieval! — gargi

Using a Sequence to Sequence model to generate punchlines for fake jokes. — nicholasbs

Paradigm Shell is an experimental game that explores crude oil as a transformative, vibrant, time-condensing form of matter. Through recalculating vertices in vertex shaders virtual materials morph and mutate. — isi

This neural network, trained on the works of T.S. Eliot, generates new poetry based on his work. It also raises the question of how much an artist's work--and the new work that comes from it--preserves them once they're gone. — rachel

I try to maintain a sense of wonder throughout my process of learning CS. In this blog post I wrote something a bit more philosophical, drawing on training as a musician to try to provide an answer to why seemingly inefficient algorithms can still be interesting and compelling objects of study.

Producing fractals with Postgres. What isn't there to like? — malisper

A Clojure library that helps you test specs for breaking changes. — porterjamesj

An oldschool-bbs-like content engine that runs over telnet! Live demo available at escape-sequence.net 4444 (use the `telnet` command in your favourite terminal emulator to connect). — mbionchi

Filippo does great work trying to demystify cryptography and improve implementations of cryptographic algorithms, and this is a nice example. — porterjamesj
