Can anyone provide the modern 2020 blog youtube pinterest or whatever platform equivalent of the 70s/80s "Computer Recreations" or "Amateur Scientist" columns from Scientific American magazine from that era? I mean yeah its interesting to look at state of the art for the time "Game of Life" and building tic tac toe AI "computers" out of match boxes and human power, but I'm curious where you find that kind of stuff in 2020? Recently here on HN, like this morning, there was an interesting discussion of modern pseudorandom number generation and that seems like the kind of topic that could have been turned into a "Computer Recreations" column or modern media equivalent. The closest answer I can come up with is some of the language koan sites or maybe project euler or rosalind.info project. If you like doing EE hardware/firmware but only 4 times per year I guess there's the Adafruit box program. I have them all and they were all pretty fun, but only for a couple hours per quarter... I guess the experience I'm trying to replicate is like a lot of gen-x computer people I once got a copy of SciAm magazine in the mail and two hours later I'm writing a very slow but working mandelbrot fractal program in interpreted basic on an 80s home computer, not because the execution speed was fast but because the development time was fast and it was a fun and exciting experiment. There must be something like that today?
