Évariste Galois →
science:
With films like A Beautiful Mind, about the far less eventful life of John Nash, it’s a little surprising that no one’s run with the idea of a biopic about Évariste Galois, whose life ticks all the boxes in the “romanticized mathematician” schema. The real story is so good that it seems unnecessary to fictionalize it further, but there are more myths about Galois than about pretty much...

Life on a Cubic Planet →
science:
Planets are not cube-shaped. There’s no physical mechanism that would allow a cubic planet to form naturally, certainly not one the size of Earth, and even if you somehow built one, gravity would eventually turn it into a sphere. This is nothing more than a light-hearted thought experiment. But assuming you had a cube-shaped Earth, what would it be like?
If you were dropped in the...

designbycode:
About a month ago, I tweeted a link to a teaser video that showed off an Android icon generation tool I was building. The goal of the tool was to simplify Android icon creation for developers that don’t have access to design resources.
Today, I’m happy to make this and a few other tools…

Why does it matter that HTML and CSS are not... →
People evaluate software on criteria that they understand. They often understand the difference between good-looking and ugly, but rarely appreciate technical nuances.
People are fooled by appearances. This may not be a good thing, but it is a reality that we must live with.
Appearances influence the way people feel about software. The way people feel about software is important to them....

The Go Programming Language, or: Why all C-like... →
Interesting review about C-like programming languages: the author compares them with Go, the new Google language.
This paragraph is fascinating
If a language aims at system programming, it must be fairly efficient and complexity must be predictable. I must be able to intuitively estimate in what order of magnitude time and memory demands of a certain operation lie.
