Teach Your Grandma How To Code

This text is actually a workshop? Yup. For the people who’re currently IN my workshop, use this as a guide. I’ll say everything that’s written here almost literally. For the people who’re just reading this for some reason? I don’t know, live life I guess. We’ve so many programming languages. Every programming language seems like their own mountain to climb. There’s just so much to “parse” (so proud of that one)....

Fallen Angels [1995] Reception Analysis

The cleverest whisper: The RSA Algorithm.

It’s clever. It’s efficient. And it feels seemingly “loophole free”. We’ve all played with Caesar Cipher; Caesar Cipher might just be the simplest example of cryptography (probably the oldest) that we can play with. What’s up with this fancy new stuff then?...
