Time is infinite, but a computer’s memory isn’t
In low-level coding, we usually have to specify the length of a variable. We have many types, including int32 and int64, which represent numbers in binary, using 32 bits or 64 bits, respectively. The int32, of number 4 for example, looks like this: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000100 That’s it – 32 zeros or ones to... » read more
The 14 lines of code that revolutionized 3D graphics : Fast Inverse Square Root
For a computer, a three-dimensional space is a collection of triangles. In older 3D video games, this was noticeable and everything seemed a bit triangular. This was because, in order to accommodate older hardware, they had to reduce the number of triangles. Nowadays, there are more triangles, so there is more detail and things don’t... » read more
Origins of Javascript and Why We Prefer “Let” Instead of “Var”
In the 1930s, Alonzo Church introduced Lambda calculus. It is a formal system for expressing mathematical logic and computations using functions. Long before computations were performed by machines, they were done by humans, and Lambda calculus helped formalize these processes in written form. Lambda calculus looks like this: λx.x*2 // function that takes input xx... » read more
