Using locality sensitive hashing to compactly represent k-mers
K-mers are frequently used in bioinformatics to profile and compare genomes. This article describes a technique for compactly representing long k-mers with locality-sensitive hashing.
Visualizing the height of the Netherlands
The Netherlands is very flat country, with most area lying below sea level. So how flat is it really, and how to we keep the water at bay? Let's visualize the official "height" dataset of the Netherlands to find out!
Drawing arbitrary shapes with OpenGL points
Through some clever mathematical definitions, we can use OpenGL "point" primitives to draw any kind of vector shapes. This article explains how that's done and how it applies to my Google Summer of Code 2015 project.
Controlling a servo with an AVR microcontroller
Servos are useful small motors with applications in robotics, RC cars, and others. Here, we describe how to use an ATTiny44 to control its position.
