   If I am reading this right, a range is expressed as a distance between the minimum and maximum values, and in the Monte Carlo part a number is generated from a uniform distribution within that range[1]. But if I just ask the calculator &quo

   A lot of the article can be generalized to "don't run a business in your home". It sounds like in this case, Storj is the one running the business while you are a customer (paying with storage), so you are shielded from a lo

   The story I heard[1] was that Microsoft skipped 9 because people used to check for "Windows 9" prefix string to identify 95 and 98: if(version.StartsWith("Windows 9")) { /* 95 and 98 */ } else {

    I thought the main value of this article was that they went out and asked various vendors that question ("why proprietary formats?") and put all their answers in one place. Too bad Nikon and Fujifilm didn't respond, but I ca

    For youtube shorts, replacing the "shorts" in URL with "watch" will give you the usual interface, for example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GqkmtcirwYA -> https://www.youtube.com&#x2

    Nice find :) I guess Atari character set has enough overlap with ASCII, so I could get the checksum to match: sum = 0 "32000 REM TYPO II BY ANDY BARTON".codepoints.each_with_index{|c, i| sum += (i + 1) * c } print ((

    I took a look at the listing[1] and looks like it contains unprintable characters, maybe they were ASCII art of some sort? The checksum algorithm is fairly simple: line 32150 sums the products of all character positions and character codes,

    I find it surprising that Ken Shirriff's blog[1] didn't make it to the top 5000. Does it not count as a blog? Looks like it's explicitly excluded[2]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=righto.com [2]
