I Wrote Crossword Software! In Haskell!
I’ve been posting the crossword puzzles I’ve been making on this blog. A fellow Recurse Center alum asked if I’d blogged about the software I wrote to help make these crosswords and I thought that was an interesting idea, so here we go! I’ll first do a high-level overview, and then we’ll dive into some…

CUDA – Four
I’ve been busy with other things, but I woke up early and decided to get some CUDA studying in. I did talk with the hiring manager for the position that I’m interested in, who (as I expected) clarified that I didn’t actually need to know CUDA for this position.

Radish Cache
After coming across a (now deleted) answer on StackOverflow, I took some time to find instances of “redis” (a popular caching program) misspelled as “radish”. I think autocorrect is likely the culprit. I’m posting these here because I think that this is a wonderfully innocent error and not to shame the people involved. Imagining someone…

Update: the a e s t h e t i c g e n e r a t o r is now online. Ryan McVerry, Per-Andre Stromhaug, and I got together this weekend to do a mini-hackathon. We’d been inspired by a Chicago-based artist on Tumblr named Galactic Castle. Specifically, this image: Our goal, was…
