“On our inability to do much” — Edsger Wybe Dijkstra was one of the pioneers and one of the most influential members in the field of computer science. Dijkstra had contributed in many domains such as algorithm design, operating system, distributed processing, and the list goes on. If you are a computer science student in the past…

Proofs Without a Single Word — After a relative success of another story of mine showcasing visual mathematical proofs, I thought that you would love to see more of them and hence I came back with a new list of 5 visual proofs. If you have no idea what I am talking about, you are more…

Which is the heaviest stone? — It has been almost a year ago that I was interviewed at Microsoft for a Software Engineering Intern role. In the personal interview, after having a chat with the recruiter, she suddenly says “Let’s solve a small puzzle”. I was kinda surprised because I expected puzzles only at the technical…

Developer, Math Enthusiast — Quick Bio My name is Eliran. I am 25 years old. Born and currently living in Israel. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science. I love spending my free time writing, reading, and play video games. From time to time I try to do things a bit differently, searching…

My First Open Source CLI Project — This post was first published on my blog with the generic placeholder name of etCodes — it’s free to read (no paywalls) and far more readable. Introduction A content aggregator is simply an application that gathers content from across the web in order to allow the user a consolidated way of…

From Simple To Solid — There are many different things that separate great code from a code that “does the job”, from the style guidelines to the maintainability and scalability of the code. In this post, we will work through a task and iteratively improve the code while asking ourselves some key questions that everyone…

Get Your Favorite Content in One Place — The need for content aggregators is pretty clear. The internet is filled with endless information and in order for you to stay updated and informed about the latest news or any other type of content, you might be scrolling through various websites every day. Content aggregation helps us optimize our…

A brief look at sorting algorithms that are ridiculous and should generally be avoided. — Sorting is a fundamental necessity in computer programming, but not all sorting algorithms were “created equal”. You probably know that the best complexity for comparison-based sorting is O(NlogN), but today we are going to discuss some revolutionary sorting algorithms that you better avoid using in your programs.

A curated list of my favorite googling “tricks” — We all use Google on a daily basis, pretty frequently. As a matter of fact, I think that since I was given my first PC at the age of 6 I was googling almost every single day (not counting the school field trip days before I had a smartphone). We…
