   I really enjoy this kind of post. It's short, simple and something most people could figure out by looking at the problem. Even then, it's still something that makes you go 'huh, how would you do that?'. Until the intu

   Isaac Arthur has a very interesting video that touches on that specific topic, but with a space exploration angle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7fLNvpl0c8

   Full disclosure: I didn't make this, but a friend of mine did. I found it to be a very clean and useable syntax, and some of you might find it useful.
