Open the article, press Ctrl-F, and type "DOGE" to get your answer. (TL;DR: DOGE is the name of a new US government agency devoted to gutting other government agencies, and the founder of Gumroad is giving it pro-bono help.)

If you read the article, it explains exactly how the technique works. One of the many ways CSS allows you to customize formatting is to change the background style of elements. In addition to just using a solid color or image, you can speci

Right, I was just trying to clarify because the OP was asking for a way to compute the function. It may not be the best way, and that's the interesting open question.

If you give police the right to invade and arrest any group that is "sheltering criminals", and you define "crime" broadly enough to include "suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance" i.e. encouraging

The straightforward but slow way is to just brute-force over all possible factorizations of N!. As the post states, writing N! as a product of factors is equivalent to writing log(N!) as a sum of those factors' logarithms. So log(t(N))

No, the CS map predates the novel by almost 20 years. Almost certainly they were just both inspired by the same artist.

It's nothing new. See, for instance, "Go To Statement Considered Harmful", published by Dijkstra in 1968.

It's not so much that we want to model problems as graphs, it's that many problems and situations naturally correspond to graphs. Anything with a collection of objects, where some subset of pairs of objects are "related&quo

When they remove the donor heart, the donor's body will die no matter what. How did you think a heart transplant worked? That's why, as others have said, it's only done when the donor is already legally and medically dead, ev

It's not true at all. A cardioplegia solution is injected into the heart itself to arrest the heartbeat, and to protect it from tissue damage while awaiting transplantation. But this is done after the donor's chest has already b

You're overcounting by a factor of 6! = 720, because you're counting different orderings of the same numbers multiple times. "1,2,3,4,5,6" and "6,5,4,3,2,1" are not different tickets.

Star trackers do exist and have been used on spacecraft for decades. But unfortunately, looking at the stars can only tell you your orientation in space, not your position. (At least, not to any remotely useful accuracy; you need to travel

Yeah, there are plenty of use cases for which overall energy efficiency doesn't matter, because the actual energy demands are so low. If you can run a microcontroller on a fraction of a milliwatt (which is entirely feasible) then it mi

Very cool concept! Here's a small but very frustrating bug report: if you click on "Menu", then "Unlocks", the individual unlock items are clickable. I expected clicking on them to bring up a more detailed descripti

It's impossible to give a single answer to this because it depends on how you define "efficiency", and on what kinds of "fuel" you're talking about. If you define it as (say) pounds of CO2 emitted per mile driv

As discussed in the Reddit thread linked elsewhere, this is far more likely to be sloppy research and misinterpretation of data than a deliberate lie. It's not trivial to accurately determine whether a tiny collection of graphite parti

FWIW, Golly (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) implements Hashlife as one of its core algorithms. So you can use it to simulate enormous patterns at enormous speeds, as long as they are sparse and/or regular enough that the hash hit

The orbital inclination relative to our sun doesn't really have anything to do with it. In fact, stars that are aligned with Earth's orbit are harder to observe, because they go behind the sun once a year. Detecting an extrasola

Stars do change their brightness in various other ways, but the light curve of planetary transit has a very characteristic shape. It causes the brightness to dim by a small but constant amount, with a (comparatively) very short and sharp st

Yup, but that only works if those transitions happen frequently enough compared to the time constant of the high-pass filter. Presumably, that's why the author found that the optics only worked with signals above about 150kHz.

No, the heading font is Lato, not Garamond, and it's definitely some kind of digraph that only shows up with the combination "ct". Compare the letter "c" in these two headings: https://i.imgur.com/Zq
