Some languages get all the glory. They show up in hoodies. They get conference keynotes. They get “OMG I rewrote my life in Rust” posts. HTML and CSS? They quietly hold the entire internet together like overworked stagehands who never get to bow. And if you doubt that, go look at the programming languages list … Read more
R is what happens when a programming language grows up surrounded by statisticians, academics, and people who think “normal” is something you should test for.

If Fauvism is the art-world equivalent of turning the saturation slider up until your monitor begs for mercy, Othon Friesz is the guy who helped crank it… and then later decided, Actually, I would like my brushstrokes to have indoor voices sometimes. He is Episode 42 in our artist series, and he is proof that … Read more
