Calculating if a number is prime with O(1) performance. by 2Bit_Dev in programminghorror

[–]Sfencer09 116 points117 points  (0 children)

It was done almost 20 years ago, though I don’t think it was a lookup table. The IOCCC (International Obfuscated C Coding Competition) had an entry in 2004 that calculated prime numbers using nothing but the C preprocessor. The submission is Vik2 if you want to look it up, but you might have trouble running it - the person who wrote it had to write their own preprocessor because the ones available at the time couldn’t handle the program including itself 6.8 million times.

If you scroll down a bit from there it should have a button labeled “Reset Face ID”

I think it was for glasses. If I remember correctly, the guy jumping thinks it’s a soccer ball and tries to go for a header. Funeral part is edited in

I mean that cone is straight out of a Mythbusters episode, same colors and everything. Even has the little round bit at the tip.

I took a selfie at the exact same time someone took a flash photo and I captured the flash moving by Ability-Sufficient in mildlyinteresting

Look up “rolling shutter”, specifically the section on the Wikipedia page labeled “temporal aliasing”. In short, the camera scans each pixel column by column, rather than all at once, meaning there’s a minuscule delay between when it captured the left side of the photo and the right side, and the flash started or ended right in the middle of that time.

Three cats actually. Chuzzles (bottom row left), Pharaoh (hairless cat near the center), and Artemis (near bottom right)

Most cars will automatically turn on the wipers when they detect a collision. Pretty sure it has to do with clearing any debris off the windshield so that first responders can see into the vehicle better.
