I'm getting bigger numbers from a very quick script -- am I missing something? digitalsum(999^75) = 999 999^75 = 9277086733900014664321616999375876127716937729287278273344255285200275135912771415647082972443057342370291494428952644

Fun fact - we noticed SQLite wasn't RFC-compliant for it's CSV output (it used native lineendings, not CRLF, which is mandatory). It is fixed now... but I'm now wondering whether SQLite wasn't more correct in the first p

Even if intelligence doesn't correlate with not chopping your fingers off with a chisel, it's well established that IQ is a bell curve with an average of approximately 100, so there'll be more IQ 100 people than IQ 90.

Was shocked to see so many issues! (The issues are for the virtualagc simulator, and include such wonders as correctly emulating processor loads so that you too can have program alarms flash up when you're trying not to crash into the

Since the three axes do not sum to one, there is something clearly missing within their model. Hmmm. I think a triangular graph would be a better way of representing the data -- this would also expose the hole at the centre of their model;

Given that's a difference in the sixth significant figure, it's probably not even a rounding error for these calculations.

Can't speak for all metric users, but I found "mt" for metric tonnes just confusing; the standard abbreviation is just "t". Yes, that's easily confused with the imperial ton, but I think that's a less impo

If some of your family have inheritable diseases, you could find out if you have them or if your children could have them. Finding out that you will suffer from a nasty disease in the future could be quite a shock, though. People also spend

I think Javascript's ubiquity -- it has an implementation in every browser -- is the cause of much of its hatred. No one hates on SNOBOL because it's been superseded and no-one uses it; but if you're wanting to interface with

Was a bit concerned about the probability of those clusters in Figure 1 occurring by chance, particularly with the middle one looking so weak: it's about a 0.8% chance of getting three and a 7% chance of getting two over a thirty year
