153. Functional Quadtrees
A Quadtree is a tree data structure, which is useful for giving more focus/detail to certain regions of your data, while saving resources elsewhere. I could only find a couple tutorials/guides and both were imperative, so I figured it'd be fun to do a functional version in Clojure which runs in the browser.

169. New 3D scan reveals a hidden network of moai carvers on Easter Island
A high-resolution 3D model of Rano Raraku shows that the moai were created in many distinct carving zones. Instead of a top-down system, the statues appear to have been produced by separate family groups working independently while sharing techniques. Evidence of varied carving styles and multiple transport routes supports this decentralized picture. The results challenge old assumptions about how large-scale monument building worked on Rapa Nui.
