As someone who lives in Toronto, the collapse of this project is a great outcome. While the goals of the project seem forward thinking and could benefit society in the long run (in terms of renewable building, etc) Google is 110% the wrong

I got married last year and tried something similar using a MIP optimization problem. It came out reasonably close to what we had done by hand. I did find https://www.improbable.com/news/2012/Optimal-seating-chart.

Jira is such a pain to work with. For example, there seem to be two different ways to create a new issue. If you get to the one that uses a modal, the text input is in Textile format. Whereas the other page uses Markdown. It's insane t

I've seen that kind of rounding error in code that went through emscripten. The initial C++ code predated std::log10 so it was implemented using a change of base, i.e. log(value)/log(10). When this was translated into Javascript,
