We’ve seen many graphical and animated explainers for the Fourier series. We suppose it is because it is so much fun to create the little moving pictures, and, as a …read more Continue reading Fourier, the Animated Series
Linux has become one of the largest operating systems on the servers that run large websites, and hopefully, one day, it will be big in the desktop market too. Some …read more Continue reading Find That Obscure Function With This Interactive Map Of The Linux Kernel
One of the coolest things any sound system can have is some kind of musical visualization. Thumping level meters that pump with the volume are a great example, and were …read more Continue reading Build a Circuit Sculpture-Style VU Meter For Music
We all know we live in a soup of electromagnetic radiation, everything from AM radio broadcasts to cosmic rays. Some of it is useful, some is a nuisance, but all …read more Continue reading Visualizing WiFi with a Converted 3D Printer
Ferrofluids, as the name implies, are liquids that respond to magnetic fields. They were originally developed for use by NASA as rocket fuel but are available to the general public …read more Continue reading Ferrofluid Dances in Custom Bluetooth Speaker
Data and analytics service Databricks today announced that it has acquired Redash, a company that helps data scientists and analysts visualize their data and build dashboards around it. Redash’s customers include the likes of Atlassian, Cloudflare, Mozilla and Soundcloud and the company offers both an open source self-hosted version of its tools, as well as […] Continue reading Databricks acquires Redash, a visualizations service for data scientists
If your only exposure to seismologists at work is through film and television, you can be forgiven for thinking they still lay out rolls of paper to examine lines of ink under a magnifying glass. The reality is far more interesting in a field that has eagerly adopted all available …read more

We live in increasingly polarized times. Times where your point of
view defines more than your stance on a particular topic – it defines
who you are. Perhaps that’s why people are so unlikely to change their
minds on any given issue, ev… Continue reading Global warming: Can these striking charts convince nay-sayers?
If you need help visualizing magnetic fields, these slow-motion video captures should educate or captivate you. Flux lines are difficult to describe in words, because magnet shape and strength play a part. It might thus be difficult to visualize what is happening with a conical magnet, for a person used …read more
In a previous post, I showed how you could upload images into a Discord server from Python; leveraging the popular chat platform to simplify things like remote monitoring and push notifications on mobile devices.
