    This talk goes over how art and code sometimes come together in computer science. It's all very neat and I highly recommend watching it. He explains the concepts and highlights the beauty in it...

    This talk goes over how art and code sometimes come together in computer science. It's all very neat and I highly recommend watching it. He explains the concepts and highlights the beauty in it all.

    Excerpts: Conway's Game of Life, the Mandelbrot Set, Deep Dreaming, quines & polyquines, Sonic Pi and more.

    Incidentally… that's the same Dylan Beattie who has some hilarious, high-quality programming/tech parodic songs such as You Give REST a Bad Name, Bug in the JavaScript and DMCA.

    Edit: And if I haven't convinced you yet to click any of those links, here's an excerpt of "Bug in the JavaScript", to the tune of Piano Man:

    Now null is a reference to nothing,
    Don’t mix it up with undefined,
    And there’s zero and NaN, and Infinity, man,
    Just remember which ones can be signed,
    And you think that you’re working with integers,
    When you’re really in floating point hell,
    And your objects are hashes, but when your code crashes,
    You’ll find they were functions as well,
