Heh, started watching Contact, and one of the first sciency references in the movie is the supermassive black hole in M87. The same one we got a picture of 2 years ago :)

Are there noise canceling headphones designed to block human voice? Like, say, that of two small children that scream all the time?

Asking for a friend...

Next person that complains about a sci-fi book having absurd jargon, I'm going to send them changelogs from open source projects

Just found a (pretty dumb) one for 32 bit uints. All Fermat numbers are primes in the U32 range:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat_number

The first Fermat number that isn't a prime is 2^32 + 1. So, by quite a narrow margin, all the u32 Fermat numbers are primes :)

Thinking about random math things... I wonder if someone has studied the number theory gap between regular numbers and IEEE 754 numbers.

Things like: which prime number theorems do not hold in general, but do hold for 32 or 64 bit floats?

Or, do complex numbers have some nifty extra properties in IEEE 754 that do not hold for normal numbers?

After a couple months of falling behind on people's toots, I just managed to catch up.

There's toomuch toot.

The toots are through the roof.

The tooting must stop.

Oh God, someone made a Garmin watchface that looks like the N64 Goldeneye watch. Nostalgia overload!

Although I stopped using it years ago, I had been stalling on closing my Twitter account so far, out of nostalgia.

Twitter is a big reason my work life turned out as it did. That community of extremely online Twitter gamedev folks was amazing. A huge source of knowledge, inspiration, and community. I'll be forever grateful for that.

But it's time to stop letting the present taint those precious memories.

Goodbye Twitter.

I won't miss what you've become.

But I will miss what you once were.
