https://curves.xargs.org is a neat explanation of elliptic-curve-based key agreement, using only high school algebra (and even if you don’t remember your high school algebra, you can still get 90% of it by looking at the animated graphs).

If you ever wanted a visual to explain how binary in works.

Really enjoyed the #Tetris movie, except for this one scene...
"It's programmed in C yes? How many pixels?"
A few seconds pass...
"It's not perfect" (hands them a working version of GameBoy Tetris) 🤣

Play in a browser The Original Tetris: based on the version that Alexey Pajitnov created at the Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre in Moscow, for the old Soviet-made computer, the Elektronika 60, and uses green brackets instead of solid blocks.

I've tweaked it a bit and am now comfortable with sharing it widely, so here it is! My crochet pattern for Einstein's Hat, the recently discovered aperiodic monotile: https://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/einsteins-hat.pdf

(And if you make the tiles in max 4 colors, you can ALSO illustrate the four color theorem.)

@vadergb @Recta_Pete Very nice! Have you got one of the new #PenultimatePlus2 carts in order from @futurewas8bit yet? Totally essential if you ask me if you have a #VIC20

Russia has occupied ZNPP nuclear plant in Ukraine since March 2022. Putin has threatened to blow up ZNPP and unleash environmental devastation on Ukraine, and appears to be on track to follow through. He had given a deadline for Russian citizens to evacuate the area by July 5 and about 100 of them appear to have done so. About 6000 people are trapped in the area around ZNPP nuclear plant and are not being allowed to leave. https://kyivindependent.com/mayor-part-of-russian-rosatoms-personnel-leaves-occupied-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant/
