It'd be nice to be able to permalink to the view for a specific location While that'd be useful for things like telling someone else what buses they can get, planning a trip, etc, what I actually tried to do was to link to the Kil

Our experience has been the direct opposite. The way to get the most out of cursor was to leave it on auto - we saw it average around 3.9 cents per request under the old contract (per-seat pricing) and more like 39 cents per request under t

I quite enjoyed their Omega Mart in Vegas. Was there for work and gambling, shows, and gun ranges are really not my thing, glad there was something different. (I did wander round the strip but enjoyed the hike in Red Rock Canyon more) When

I was doing something related for genuary recently, but with different constraints - I wanted to make a photgraph look painted in a fauvist style, with visible brushstrokes (and a vivid, unrealistic colour scheme). When you're overlayi

You would find things in there that were already close to QM and relativity. The Michelson-Morley experiment was 1887 and Lorentz transformations came along in 1889. The photoelectric effect (which Einstein explained in terms of photons in

it works for any number of integers. The first proof above (before tl;dr) is showing that every positive integer has a unique representation as a sum of distinct powers of 2, ie binary, and that no two integers have the same representation.

I'm saying it's a tautology because it's just a binary representation of the set. Suppose we have 8 players, with x and y being 2 and 4: set the 2nd and 4th bits (ie 2^2 & 2^4) and you have 00001010. But to lay it out: ev

you're only sorting players within a single hand. so a list of under 10 items? thats trivial

BTW, yet another way to do it (more compact than the bitwise and prime options) is the Cantor pairing function https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing_function ... z = (x+y+1)(x+y)/2 + y - but you have to sort x,y f

The typo is most likely the extra /, in (x/y)/(x^2+y^2) instead of (xy)/(x^2+y^2). `2^x & 2^y ...is the & a bitwise operator...???? That would produce a unique ID? That would be very interesting, is that provable

by bazzargh 9mo ago
It looks like you have typos? (x^2+y^2)+(sin(atan(x/y))*cos(atan(x/y))) reduces to x^2+y^2+( (x/y) / (x^2/y^2 + 1) ) - not the equation given? Tho it's easier to see that this would be symmetrical if you rearra

The boids in this demo form smaller flocks (both tighter, and fewer individuals) than other implementations I've seen. I had a look at the code and I'm not sure it's "right"? (I know the whole thing is subjective, I

"release" is maybe too strong a word, it's not a lot of code and I don't plan to put any more effort into the nonexistent interface since it was just built for personal use. But the code: https://gist.github.c

That's an odd take. Teams doesn't have the leading market share in videoconferencing, Zoom does. I can't judge what it's like because I've never yet had to use Teams - not a single company that we deal with uses it,
