What I wanted to do here is to develop, in less than a page of code, a toy spelling corrector that achieves 80 or 90% accuracy at a processing speed of at least 10 words per second." Nice -- this'd be a good case study for our revamped algorithms module.Dropping In on Gottfried Leibniz—Stephen Wolfram Bloghttps://bookmarks.offog.org/edit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.stephenwolfram.com%2F2013%2F05%2Fdropping-in-on-gottfried-leibniz%2F2014-07-10T14:20:50ZA nice overview of Leibniz's contributions to computational thinking, with many photos of his notes.First-Hand Histories - GHN: IEEE Global History Networkhttps://bookmarks.offog.org/edit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieeeghn.org%2Fwiki6%2Findex.php%2FSpecial%3AFirstHandHistories2014-03-07T17:59:40ZSome remarkably detailed stories here.
