| Brad, Glad to see you are still producing good stuff. I remember your work on aperiodic tilings. Have to admit though it is hard to follow this without pictures. Unlike OEIS it is easy to attach images on Community. |
| Awesome. Does AnglePath simplify the code? What happens long-term? Stephen Wolfram did a live experiment using AnglePath at the [Wolfram Summer School][1], simpler though different from what you see here, but also with the apparent... |
| Thanks Sander. It is at least partly illuminating that there is a difference between what is popular and what is considered educational, and that what is popular can be quantified. I am not sure exactly what it means though. A few possibilities:... |
| I agree too. The quote is from Stephen Wolfram's recent blog http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2016/09/how-to-teach-computational-thinking/ There is more to it than just avoiding loops and conditionals, of course. There is also more to it than... |
| Good question Sander. It could be Inactive code taking the place whenever the execution tries code which matches the Don't pattern. There could be an expression evaluated, like [Check][1] which returns something when a message is generated, but... |
| Mark, how do you see the [Wolfram Programming Lab][1] fit in with your vision of projects that have meaning to young students? To David's question, it would seem like both strategies could work. Maybe the latter would be more stable, more... |
| Good points from Bianca and Richard. Maybe your questions highlight some paths for experimentation while exposing some possible problems. The main one I think is the choice of programming language, and even the questions like what is a program and... |
| Recently there has been news about this [article][1] in Science. The goal was to find a minimal set of genes that could make a living thing. They used some engineering and some computer experiments in addition to some brute force searching. They... |
| Diego, no the order is unknown. If the order was known, the NMinimize expression that Okkes Dulgerci was using would return pretty quickly. Frank, that sounds like a good idea. I don't know exactly how to implement it. But the... |
