a shameless plug of another blog post containing more xor trivia, for those interested: https://gciruelos.com/xor.html
Yes, in general it is obviously undecidable. I should have been clearer, but I'm mostly interested in structure (traversal) algorithms, most of which could be coded in a language with bounded loops. An easier question…
Related to your last question, I was always puzzled by the following: when is a program an implementation of an (abstract) algorithm? For example, can a program decide, given a sorting function implemented in language…
not really related, but i wrote this a while back: https://gciruelos.com/what-is-the-roundest-country.html
i have been writing a gameboy emulator for the last year (with short bursts of work where i implement some module), and it's been very challanging and fun, i recommend everyone to try it. it has a very simple 8-bit…
i've been using sway[0] as my wm for some time now (it's a sort of port of i3 to wayland) and it's incredible that you can actually tell that it is much faster than wms running on X. [0] http://swaywm.org/
This is awesome, great write-up, thank you very much. You briefly mention that crypto-currencies are used for money laundering. Do you think that's what's driving btc price to insane levels? Or is it just good old…
john baez is a brilliant guy. and also he's the cousin of joan baez, which makes me appreciate both of them even more.
yes, but if you add up how much everyone paid for the lost eth it won't be $300MM but it will still be an insane amount of money.
i wrote something very similar, but in c++ https://github.com/gciruelos/seurat
i wish the main tool wasn't inside an <iframe>. completely unnecessary
some have a lot of false positives (even some in -Wextra have had false positives due to bugs), so if you compile with -Werror (as you should do) it can be troublesome.
every browser needs to have some counter like that if it wants to suggest pages when you open a new tab or something like that. i think it's cool that you can see the actual ranking.
maybe it is a consequence of increased technological knowledge in the general populace? i don't feel that it has increased, but maybe Apple's marketing team arrived to that conclusion.
i agree completely on the large document problem that LaTeX has, especially when you have big formulas, statements or diagrams that are hard to parse after you have written them and, say, you want to find where you…

Nothing was stolen. All I see is a programmer abiding by the contracts.
HN's "GET" would be when tesla's stock price hits 0.00000$
I've been following you on github for a long time (since the minecraft clone you made in C was featured in /r/programming). You are insane man, I love your work. Keep it up!
>and I wouldn't know how that affects everyday life. It mostly affected lexicographic order. 'ch' was between 'c' and 'd'. So for example, when 'ch' was a separate letter in the alphabet, 'chico' (little, boy) would…
In my opinion boutique competition, economic hardship, drop in quality, and an active used market are what's killing Gibson and other big companies. Not EDM.
This a thousand times. Also, its usually Intel's policy to have a (very) strong backwards compatiblity. See the A20 line for a ridiculous example. But AMD has always been less strict on this issues, and I'm glad they…
What I do is the following: For each country, I transform its points from the equirectangular projection I'm given to an azimutal projection centered in some point (that depends on the country). That point is obtained…
