Their website was not really hacked, it was just abandoned and someone else registered the domain and put porn there.

Yes. Actually if you just want to cover the whole space aperiodically, you can already do it with a simple rectangle, it's just that rectangles also allow you to do it periodically and this new tile only allows aperiodically.

The recipe it suggests is completely off. Just search for "ramen recipe" and compare. For instance it tells you to add soy sauce, sesame oil and green onions to the broth (so far so good) but then tells you to throw all of it away

I started programming on a Ti-89 calculator and I loved it and it made me want to continue on this path. Modern smartphones would be much better for programming than my old Ti: better performance, better screen, better programming language.

The title is misleading, I expected to see a map of the changes from the last hour/day/week/month but you just get a blank map at first. And then dots appear but they disappear after just a few dozen seconds which is not enou

> Big-O assumes all "operations" are equally costly. That's not the case on real hardware, and pretty much never has been. Some instructions take more cycles than others. No, it only assumes that there is a constant factor

The claim is that vectors perform better than lists even in a case where the theoretical complexity is in favor of the list: insertion in the middle. However the complexity of insertion in the middle is O(n) for both vectors and lists so th

The "yourself" part of the title is actually a lie, you need a bunch of trusted people spread over a large geographical area (as large as the moon itself) to make observations for you. When reading the title I understood the &quot

Yes and they had fun and didn't even lose that much money (they may even have made a small profit). Doesn't seem like a disaster to me.

The other side (Entr’Ouvert) is also French. I don't see how you can think this is a case of France against not France.

This interpreter was obviously not written by hand, the author has likely written a compiler from a sane language to malbolge and used it to obtain this result. It would be much more interesting to see the source for this compiler to malbol

No I haven't. If you think the other demos are more interesting please link to them. I'm just saying that this demo is biased and that we can't draw any conclusion from it. Actually the author has just confessed optimizing it

Actually the indentation of the first comment and the lack of preprocessor show it's not copied from this code directly but from Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root#Overv... ) So It co

It seems like a very sensible answer from copilot since the prompt includes "Q_" which makes it obvious that the programmer is specifically looking for the Quake version of this function. To me it doesn't show that copilot wi

The title should be 'Hovering ship', as it is in the BBC article. There is nothing special about a floating ship.

Thanks, it's much more interesting indeed. The link should probably point there directly. Now that I understand what it is, it's actually something that I've wanted to use before. It looks very useful.

I think you're misunderstanding the author here. He doesn't argue that people shouldn't use Haskell because it's used in crypto currencies, quite the opposite he seems to love Haskell and want people to use it. His worry

I've regularly been annoyed by -1 % n being negative but I've never seen a case where the negative number is on the right. Has anyone seen this before in real code?

How is that different from any other name? Actually Sequoia is an English noun and as such I expect it to be more familiar than many other names. Even better the same word exists in many other Latin script languages. I know that there are a
