This looks great. Some feedback: * reposition markers to make item it's referencing clear. In particular, the marker 6 (C) completely obscures the text on the jar * allow a toggle for markers to be unhighlighted or partially transparen

Ah, thanks for the clarification!

Can you elaborate? From the article: > Farach-Colton, Krapivin and Kuszmaul wanted to see if that same limit also applied to non-greedy hash tables. They showed that it did not by providing a counterexample, a non-greedy hash table with

This seems overly pedantic. Here I think "greedy" means uniform probing. The authors very clearly state "non greedy": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArQNyOU1hyE&t=1087s

I think papers make good references. I think of it more like the equivalent of a "datasheet" for an electronic part, say. Once you understand the intricacies, it's a valuable reference but more often than not, it's not v

Jesus, what a refreshing site. People are so terrified of getting their hands dirty with HTML that they've forgotten how straight forward it is. Abstractions, frameworks, static site builders, etc. are all great but we shouldn't s

Thanks so much for this link. I remain convinced that papers are so much more understandable with an accompanying talk by the creators. I wish papers would just come with a video talk included.

Ok, big shout out to monort [0] for the link to the video [1]. This is just a quick overview from a single viewing of the video, but it's called "funnel hashing". The idea is to split into exponentially smaller sub arrays, so

I disagree. Many problems are abstract and so we have to build "cartoon" models of what's going on, trying to distill the essence of the problem down to a simple narrative for what the shape of the problem space is and where

I'm pretty ignorant of the timeline and I'm only going off of some vague memory and what Wikipedia says. Note that the OP is from 1992, so Tanenbaum was arguing for micro-kernels well before the Minix 2 1997 release. From Wikipedi

1997-1998 was about the time I first installed Linux (slackware) from a stack of 3.5" floppy disks. By then, Linux had picked up enough momentum, which is why, I guess, you and I both had access to CD/floppy installation methods.

I've heard of this debate but haven't heard an argument of adoption from a FOSS perspective. From Wikipedia on Minix [0]: > MINIX was initially proprietary source-available, but was relicensed under the BSD 3-Clause to become

Good article. For me, this is the fundamental concept: > Both Norvig and Jeffries are genre programmers; they have spent most of their career solving a specific kind of problem. And that problem, inevitably, lends itself to a particular

Just a theory on my part, and I'm trying to build evidence from clues in the series, so you might be right. We know that there's a lot of unreliable information because Lumon is actively trying to deceive everyone but my take on t

Isn't it basically run length encoding but on patterns? Sorting lexicographical on all rotations means blocks of patterns get grouped together, which means you can do compression more easily, right?

My theory is kind of the inverse. Their technology has the ability to "take over" the mind and implant a new personality but maybe at the current level it's unsophisticated and all they can do is make a "clean slate&quot

This is super sweet! My only gripe is that it doesn't seem to be very desktop friendly. I'm on FF 192.0.2 (64bit) and I can't figure out how to pan or zoom around the play field. It would also be nice to see a "par"
