> I don't know if a hashing algorithm that has no collisions exists (I suspect the answer is no, maybe other than the identity function). There is no hash function without collisions. The set of inputs is infinite but the set of o

For short block lengths, R-S codes and turbo codes have similar performance (but turbo codes are harder to design). I think the patents on turbo codes have expired.

I don't understand some of the people commenting on the bug report. If they really want it fixed, then they should fix it. Making rude comments isn't going to make it go any faster.

The vendor mentioned in the article, Steinwurf ApS, says on their website that "Our products are based on Random Linear Network Coding[...]" [1]. In this case, it looks like they're using it as an erasure code, though. [1]

Clever solution to a unique problem! > So how does this help with queue oscillation? Simple: We generate a few extra "spare" combination packets, so that we now have more equations than variables. This means we can afford to l

Does this cause problems in practice? I've never used Ceph in production, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect the sysadmin to keep clock skew in check.

Planck's constant is almost exactly 10^-33/(phi-0.108843677). Coincidence? I think not.

I don't think it currently does, but it almost certainly will in the future. The primary author of Pandoc is the primary author of CommonMark.

If it's something I can read in a couple days' worth of free time (~12 hours) and it really interests me, then I'll read it and work the exercises. Otherwise I save a copy and never read it. I don't recommend my approach

It does. If you click through to the DMCA takedown request, there's a list of removed pages. It's more annoying to use, but the information is still there. (For what it's worth, I'd prefer if the results weren't rem
