5 Minutes That Will Make You Love the Piano
Last fall, we asked our writers and editors, and some of our favorite artists, to select the five minutes or so they’d play for friends to make them fall in love with classical music. (See the picks.) Choosing was hard, but we loved it so much that we’re bringing it back — this month, with the goal of persuading those same curious friends to love the piano, the most powerful and protean of instruments. We know you’ll make memorable discoveries, and we hope you enjoy.

Can you tell which world leader is real, and which was made by a computer?
Take our quiz to understand what the future of fake news might mean for all of us. ‘Derpfakes’ is using machine learning software that made its way into the public domain via the dark corners of the internet, where it was unsurprisingly being used to make fake celebrity porn. The exact origins of that software are unknown, but it mirrors the kinds of research happening in top universities and the R&D departments of major tech companies.

Quiz: Psychology results in top journals - can you guess which ones were true, and which didn't replicate?
Can you guess which psychology experiments had correct findings and which ones were bogus, just from reading a brief description of their results? Depending on how long you want to play, we'll describe 10, 15 or 21 recent findings published in the world's top journals - Nature and Science - and you'll have to guess whether a repeat of the same experiment, with a much larger sample size, got the same result. Before starting this project - whch was published in Nature in August 2018 - the people who organised these 21 replications asked expert psychologists and gamblers to predict which results would hold up.

α.vez | Making the World From Scratch
Javascript has a fun and easy-to-use way to create graphics in the browser called Canvas. Canvas has a relatively simple 2D API and a complex 3D API (webGL). I’ve been particularly interested in the 2D API because it’s simple; when I started using it I was able to create some pretty interesting and complex things quickly. In an effort to try to understand something about 3D graphics and how they work on a computer I decided to create a globe using the 2D Canvas API. You might ask, why would you use the 2D API to create a 3D graphic like a globe?
