RE: Is your coin flip irrational?
To me it feels a little bit like Levin's universal search ( in that it keeps ticking things off an infinite list. If the right answer's there, then we'll get to it eventually. The clever bit is ensuring

RE: Advent of Code day 13 [spoilers]
I couldn't recall what the identity function is, which is why I used (+0) instead. It's id.

RE: Advent of Code, day 12, in Haskell [spoilers]
Oh, dear. Day 13 looks like it's going to be painful, I will have to think about what's the right way to approach this in Haskell. Do I finally need a monad?

RE: Reflections on two methods of multisig transactions
I'm not sure what the uses cases are for multi-auth that are satisfied by shipping keys around. If you have a third party to store N keys, why couldn't they store just 1 key? That is, if your model is

RE: Advent of Code Day 11 [spoilers], Inclusion-Exclusion, and Haskell's odd design decisions
I mean, seriously, Haskell, WTF? Who need a maximum that is right-associative and lazy? maximum :: forall a . Ord a => t a -> a maximum = fromMaybe (errorWithoutStackTrace "maximum: empty

RE: Where did I go Wrong on this coder?
The problem is here: If( buffer[0] == 0 ); break; That If with a capital letter is not the same as if with small letters. So the compiler thinks you're calling a function named If. (The semicolon on the

RE: What does the AC0 complexity class mean?
@stemq is actually a better home, but it seems doubly-redundant to ask a question there just to answer it myself (two separate posts) when I already answered it once on a different site. But the volume

RE: Stellaris: First Situation Report for the United Nations of Earth
I like Stellaris but I was disappointed that I have to buy an expansion in order to build megastructures. I was looking forward to my Dyson sphere. (Hm, I think I bought the expansion when it went on sale

Looks like it to me too, well done. But I disagree that the the two humans are necessarily all that humble. :)

RE: Worst-case matching in Soffit
One idea is replace all the individual constraints: A has to be in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... ] B has to be in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... ] (A,B) has to be in [(0,1), (2,3), (4,5) ... ] C has to be in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4,

RE: Brainsteem Mathematics Challenges: Rectangle in a Polygon
The polygon has area 7/2 * s^2 * cot( pi /14), where s is the side length. The rectangle has height s * cot( pi /14), so area s^2 * cot(pi/14) We can get both these from the formula for the length of the
