A central challenge in 3D scanning is separating signal from noise. In this post, I discuss one technique Spectre3D uses to remove noisy data from our scans. See the full post here: * https://www.spectre3d.io/newsfeed/battling-castoff-points /daniel

Have you ever worked on a project that uses regular old makefiles, and wished you had a 10,000 foot overview of the structure, syntax, and execution model? In this blog post I break GNU Make into it's atomic pieces, and show how they fit together into a cohesive and powerful tool. See the full post here: https://barely.software/blog/he...

The Backstory The Cryptopals challenges introduce people to cryptography through a series of programming exercises that increase in complexity. The challenges start with encoding & decoding in hex/binary/base64, and they build up to a variety of topics including an implementation of Wang's Attack, which exploits a flaw in the md4 hashi...
