Units might seem simple but they have a ton of edge cases. Do you want to be able to add inches and feet? Be careful about potential precision/rounding issues. What is the unit for a temperature delta? You can’t simply keep the origina

I have often wondered if you can come up with a one-time price for storage and guarantee that you’ll be able to store the data forever. Disks prices keep dropping so it should be in theory cheaper and cheaper to store data.

HTTP/2's multiplexing is probably the main reason we don't need sprite sheets anymore. I guess icon fonts are the modern sprite sheet to some degree.

A long time ago, some websites used to pack their images and use css to display a piece of the larger image. It reduced the number of round trips by not having to fetch a bunch of small files.

There's lots more to choose from. E.g. Ron Rivest used the sine function. Could have used cos, tan, log, ln, etc. (read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing-up-my-sleeve_number#Li... ). Zcash needed to come up wit

You can try different epoch seconds until you get a seed that fits your (malicious) needs. You can also try different RNGs until your need is met.

Interestingly, when throwing objects (especially discs), the ideal angle to maximize distance might not be 45 degrees for two reasons: the object might fly better at specific angles and different human muscles come into play at different an

“The error varies in a sort of sinusoidal fashion” and if you. Approximate the error with a sin, you’ll get another sort of sinusoïdal delta, and so on. The process is essentially a Fourier transform.
