I’m someone who has an unhealthy amount of bookmarks synced across 4 devices, splitting them up into different sections with a short blurb allows me to see what is useful for what.
This is a collection of ‘explainers’ created by people far smarter than me who pick a something complex and describe it in great details using pretty straightforward language.
I’ll keep addign to these when I find new interesting topics:
-
GPS
Provides an easy to understand overview of how GPS works with some great interactive diagrams.
Much more information has been added since I first read this piece, so ofcourse I’ll be back 🙂
-
Turing Machines
During uni I became obsessed with 2 things: Conway’s game of life and the Turing test.
This guy has built a faithful copy of Turing’s pre-war design, although using modern electronic parts and a whiteboard pen ofcourse. This website & YouTube videos can be a great introduction to personal projects for aspiring computer scientists & engineers.
