Damn Cool Algorithms: Homomorphic Hashing
I just want to say how much I love this blog.  I'm a self-taught programmer, which means that I tend to learn algorithms as I feel I need them (a big problem given that I have to know what I don't know before I can know it!).  I've recently gotten more into computer science for its own sake, but books and papers about algorithms are often dry and unmotivating.<p>The pieces on this blog are always entertaining and clearly justify the excitement and purpose of the algorithm under discussion.<p>Computer science and the STEM world in general needs more stuff like this, and I'm happy that we are in fact seeing more and more of it.  Well done.
