Another way to write that number is as the log base 2 of 3. The log base 2 of the number of possible states gives you the number of bits of information in a value chosen from that many possible states; here, a trit has 3 possible states.

Another cool thing that seems related: exploiting alignment to free up N bits in a 'pointer' representation, because your values have to be aligned. The JVM does this to expand the set of possible addresses representable in 32 bit

Maybe I'm taking you too literally, but I wouldn't want to have a handoff sync-up (or any meeting, really) on a Friday night, nor push that earlier so significant things can happen between sync-up and the actual shift in responsib

I don't think that is true. I'm sure they are more concerned about legal consequences than PR, even if both are important.

Small but important correction: no polynomial with integer coefficients (equivalently, rational coefficients). p(x) = (x - 3^(sqrt(3))) is a perfectly fine polynomial with real coefficients.

I don't think speed of a full compile (including your dependencies) is the right thing to optimize for -- and incremental compiles don't rebuild dependencies. In a project that depends on serde, for example, most compiles in an

In this case, you win by flagging all the mines. That isn't how winmine worked -- you just had to uncover all non-mine spaces.

That’s mostly right, but some of them don’t require a computer. I’ve never solved one with just pencil and paper, but in some of the solution threads you will actually find pencil and paper solutions. I’m not sure if any of the later proble

I'd really prefer for emacs' implementation language to have been a lisp-1 rather than a lisp-2. It's annoying to have to do different things to treat a function as a value (put it into a list, assign it to a variable, etc.),

For instant startup I recommend daemon mode and emacsclient. Start emacs via emacs --daemon, open windows (in the terminal or otherwise) via `emacsclient` / `emacsclient -nc` (I use aliases for these).

It's an interesting exercise to find the right generalization of this proof to sqrt(n) for arbitrary numbers n that are not perfect squares, and for kth roots for m >= 2. I.e. prove that if kth_rt(n) is rational, then n is a perfect
