The Tautological Algorithm exists in a class of "ontology-oriented" algorithms, containing such algorithms as the Zen Sort, which sorts a list by deciding its current contents are the definition of "order" and therefore it is already sorted. Other algorithms in the class are ontologically slower, however, clocking in at O(1), because it takes a nonzero amount of time to decide that the list is sorted. The Tautological Algorithm meanwhile by definition is already complete at the time it is used

I know you guys like funny or weird source code comments. Here are interesting comments in the source code of SQLite https://github.com/endlesssoftware/sqlite3/blob/master/os.h#L133

HO HO HO! Its 31 days until #Christmas!

Quick word from an elf in the PR department. Some things happen around Christmas, but are not necessarily Christmas related. To avoid confusion, I’ve been asked to restrict my greetings and holiday wishes to a list that has been carefully curated and approved.

Seems a lot of fuss if you ask me, but fortunately I can still wish you all a happy holidays, seasons greetings, and yippie ki yay moth- WHAT?! I can’t say that one? But it’s a Christmas movie!

🎅🤷‍♂️

Deliver Us Mars (2023) is free this week on Epic Games Store!

A breathtaking narrative adventure in space and on Mars, probably too ambitious for its means, but well worth the 8 or 9 hours it takes to get to the end of this indie game. Especially at that price. 😏

Does anyone have any words of wisdom about Jitsi running on an 80/20Mb/s VDSL? I'm think about the practical number of simultaneous users on a video call. I have a spare mini PC i3 6th Gen with 8Gb that could host it.

60 years since the best television show ever was first broadcast.

(if you don't know which show, you will be EXTERMINATED)

Alright, that took quite a lot of hours and I feel like I am dying but I have a PR in. I wound up basically auditing every line of our video player UI until I understood what everything did and then ripped big chunks of it out because it turned out they didn't do anything. In the process, I fixed two huge bugs that have been in there for years. Wtf just happened

1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg.
1kg (of anything) is 1000g.
1g of water is 1cm³.
Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column.
This column exerts a pressure of 1 bar at its base.*
To heat it by 1°C, you would need 1kcal.
And 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

I had to google how many inches are in 7 feet.
And I think that's stupid.

@neil I'll be building one once they're all published and lightly edited :-)

Wow. Such cringe with the interviews and drivers driven to the fountains only to be driven back to the podium ceremony, purely to advertise one of the casinos. #f1 #formula1 #LasVegasGP
