Turing Festival

In a couple of weeks time there is the 2nd Turing Festival in Edinburgh on the theme 'Digital Everywhere'. All kinds of cool stuff - people from the Higgs Boson Team at Cern, people from the JPL Interplanetary Exploration Team, the lawyer who won the Twitter Bomb Joke trial in the UK, Steve Wozniak, etc, etc. turingfestival.com It takes place during the famous Edinburgh Festival which is a month of culture with thousands of performers.

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

In a couple of weeks time there is the 2nd Turing Festival in Edinburgh on the theme 'Digital Everywhere'. All kinds of cool stuff - people from the Higgs Boson Team at Cern, people from the JPL Interplanetary Exploration Team, the lawyer who won the Twitter Bomb Joke trial in the UK, Steve Wozniak, etc, etc. turingfestival.com It takes place during the famous Edinburgh Festival which is a month of culture with thousands of performers. We modelled it on the Festival itself - a curated core and then a totally open, do-it-yourself fringe where anyone can organise anything. What I want to show you is not this year's Turing Festival - but next year's one - the one where Hacker News folk organise crazy sessions on Modern Assembly, NoSQL hacking, home made submarines and near space balloon photography or whatever on the Fringe at Turing. (Its not too late to come to Turing this year though, and TuringTown will find you a place to stay with local geeks as well). If you want to do something my email is on my HN account.

    I made a little digital circuit simulator that operates on PNGs2022 · github.com · ▲259

    This is a little toy project of mine that lets you simulate digital logic graphs. It was inspired by Minecraft's Redstone and the Piet esolang. It's got some serious drawbacks-- you write circuits as PNGs and simulate them with a Python interface. It's slow to run and slow to experiment with. And it is certainly difficult to use for people with any kind of color blindness. But despite that, I hope this can still be a fun toy!

    BOOLR, a digital logic simulator2017 · ▲78

    I am a Dutch high school student and last year I had to do a large project of my own choice. Together with two other guys I decided to do a project about digital logic. We had an ambitious plan: building an 8-bits computer. At that time I started learning programming and I already knew some HTML and CSS. So we decided to not build a physical computer, but one running in a self-built simulator. I was going to build the simulator, the other guys took care of the computer. I was hard, our school hadn't taught us anything about computers and programming so we had to learn everything ourselves.…
