For those of us that work in the industry, one of the difficult parts about working in high tech is constantly keeping on top of all the new developments and technology.
One of the things I’ve noticed after you get a lot of years of work under your belt is that you naturally start specializing into certain areas. These specializations are good in themselves, but often they utilize only slivers of the original breadth of computer science, algorithms, and data structures. If one is not careful, you can lose that breadth that is essential to your adaptability.
LeetCode is a great website with literally hundreds of coding problems that can help you brush up on your algorithms, data structures, and coding skills. Give it a whirl!
It’s been very hard to find a lot about this VR experiment/game/installation in Japan, but it seems to bring home the true fear of heights many of us have.I love how shaky people got thinking they were high up even though they could likely have just walked across the board on the ground without a second thought.
I think this presents some *really* intriguing ideas of how scientists could test our cognitive/behavioral responses to fear and how we can treat them. It could revolutionize treatment for people with agoraphobia, fear of heights/spiders/etc.
Akinori Goto came up with this novel technique for 3D printing Zoetropes and displaying them by using a beam of focused light. Very cool.
There is a huge difference between empathy and sympathy – and it makes all the difference in the world when relating with others.
Visualization and “audibilization” of 15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes.
Sorts random shuffles of integers, with both speed and the number of items adapted to each algorithm’s complexity.
The algorithms are: selection sort, insertion sort, quick sort, merge sort, heap sort, radix sort (LSD), radix sort (MSD), std::sort (intro sort), std::stable_sort (adaptive merge sort), shell sort, bubble sort, cocktail shaker sort, gnome sort, bitonic sort and bogo sort (30 seconds of it).
Google more information via the “Sound of Sorting”.
Obduction is Cyan’s new highly anticipated “spiritual successor” to Myst. Funded by Kickstarter, this teaser trailer finally pulls back the curtain for a sneak peek of what to expect. Obduction’s release is scheduled for June 2016
Created by Swedish musician Martin Molin, the Wintergatan is an amazing, complicated musical instrument. It uses over 2000 marbles to produce notes and rhythms that are guided by human input.
Amazing – a fantastic work of imagination and creativity.
Here is a trailer from the upcoming film “Loving Vincent” by Breakthru Films (Obtained from the official website: http://join.lovingvincent.com/)
This animation was composed of 12 oil paintings per second, all done by over 100 painters trained in the same style as Vincent VanGogh. I’m really looking forward to it!
