I think most would consider Cocchi Americano much closer than Lillet Blanc -- modern Lillet has basically no bitterness. But that's rather the point, and at some level, the challenge -- a cocktail is designed around and balanced around

Did you, though? Many great cocktails (including ones on the IBA list) are really show cases of a very specific liqueur or spirit... and when that product dies, you may have something similar, or something inspired by, or something attempti

The other approach here is to provide access to the multiple implementations, documentation as to the (main) sensitivities for their performance, and let the caller do their own benchmarking to select the right one, based on the specific si

Memories. As a personal project back in... 2003?... I decided to do something similar, implement 4D Perlin Noise in Altivec assembly. The only problem was that I had a G3 iBook; so I would write one instruction of assembly, then write a C f

I want to love this, but it's basically an aesthetic experience, and I have two and a half complaints that prevent me from loving it: 1) It needs an option to be the exact height of the menu bar when collapsed. On my system, it's

Thanks for the correction.

Seeing Smalltalk on these lists and not Self always seems... lacking. Besides its direct influence on Smalltalk, and its impact on JIT research, its prototype-based object system lead to Javascript's object model as well.

Sorry for the low value post, but worth it to draw attention to those who might overlook it -- that algorithmica page is really, really good. Learned something.

a^(-1) mod p is the multiplicative inverse in a finite field. The point of the original comment was to show how to transform the multiplicative inverse into an easier problem.

It’s a good choice for testing out new technologies, because they’ll save a bunch of service costs… after all, warranty void if Seal is broken.

Yes, but you need to at some point decide it’s worth adding an inductor to the BOM — trace inductance isn’t enough at any sane switching frequency (and FET switching losses kick in at the insane frequencies). And BOM item costs more than no

Seems like a hard thing to know. I’ve only written and shipped one (MJPEG w/ Speex audio slipstreamed in COM blocks), but I’m only one person… so based on that sample, somewhere between zero and the number of software engineers?

There’s also the last-gen iPod Touch, which is getting a bit long in the tooth but as a cell-phone-without-a-cell-radio is nearly perfect for this application, and is an incredibly nice form factor.
