<p><strong><a href="https://www.andreinc.net/2024/04/24/from-the-circle-to-epicycles">An animated introduction to Fourier Series</a></strong></p> Outstanding essay and collection of animated explanations (created using p5.js) by Andrei Ciobanu explaining Fourier transforms, starting with circles, pi, radians and building up from there.</p> <p>I found Fourier stuff only really clicked for me when it was accompanied by clear animated visuals, and these are a beautiful example of those done really well. <p><small></small>Via <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40578705">Hacker News</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/mathematics">mathematics</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/processing">processing</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/explorables">explorables</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://mattmckeon.com/facebook-privacy/">The Evolution of Privacy on Facebook</a></strong></p> Brilliant infographic showing exactly how the visibility of different aspects of your Facebook profile has changed in increments since 2005. Also a nice example of Processing.js in action. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/facebook">facebook</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/infographics">infographics</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/privacy">privacy</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/processing">processing</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/recovered">recovered</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/processingjs">processingjs</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://ejohn.org/blog/processingjs/">Processing.js</a></strong></p> John Resig’s outstanding port of the Processing visualisation language to JavaScript and Canvas. Runs amazingly well in Firefox 3. One hell of a hack. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/canvas">canvas</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/john-resig">john-resig</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/processing">processing</a></p>
