This is such a well-written article: it describes the impetus, it is researched, it has great examples both as code and as output, and it piques interest. In the late 1990's I contracted with an embedded software company to optimize a dithering algorithm for 8-bit MCUs that was used in most laser printers & copiers, and this paper is a really good overview.

This guys' articles are wonderful. I was experimenting with compiling C to WASM[0] and Surma's was really helpful.

His HTTP203 series with Jake Archibald is amazing if you happen to be a frontend developer.
