If you notice, one of the most recognizeable features of the Mandelbrot set is a cardioid shape when completely zoomed out. Imagine looking for all the other patterns that are present in the Mandelbrot set which might be computational shortcuts describing features of the real world.

What if intractible mathematical puzzles could be solved just by measuring some aspect of this mathematical object?

Anyway, I'm going to try :)

The recursive nature of this architecture could lead to long chains of reasoning punctuated by brilliant moments of imagination.

In modern software development, do people still use pseudocode before writing computer code?

I am kind of fascinated by the idea of improving my programming skill by focusing on the notation I use to think in - I remember reading an essay by Paul Graham: "The Hundred-Year Language"

How do people here use pseudocode? And, although Paul Graham has said languages are not really technologies but are more like notation, do people here agree? I tend to think of notations as technology - what are words in natural languages other than little "thought machines?" - anyway what do people here think? Feel free to share your preferred notations for pseudocode if you use them regularly when programming.

Sort up to some maximum number of items (N items) on a machine with N^2 processors: for each of the N items in the input array, which we assume are distinct, we will designate N-1 processors to the task of counting in parallel the number of times the item compares greater than another item. In parallel we obtain such counts for every item in the input array. Now we have only to place the N items in their proper order within the output array according to the counts, again this can be done in parallel. Call it what you will, I call it "alreadysort".

Why not use Prolog to specify the fitness function in a genetic programming context?

If we didn't use fiat currency then how could governments function?

I use the following two services but the workflow is not so good as I have to deal with seperate sites and must be very careful with the second site in particular since it does not always update the URL - my work around is to paste in the text - then the URL will be correct for use with 0x.co) - but I wish I could get the same results with less effort:

https://0x.co/ (URL shortener)

-- combined with --

https://nicd.gitlab.io/t/ (stores compressed text in the URL)

If anyone owns a very short URL this could become a business for you. https://a.co/ is taken (just so you know)

An added feature I would use is client side code execution for supported programming languages and a way to add new programming languages - an easy hack would allow one to create very long programs by transparently keeping many "0x" codes collected under a master "0x" code.

Used with password protection and a default "temporary" post lifetime which can then be switched to "final" this becomes a very powerful environment for programmers.

I have pointed my domain http://0by.co/ to https://nicd.gitlab.io/t/ if anyone wants to try this.

I really hope some people do!

Point your browser to 0by.co or to https://nicd.gitlab.io/t/, paste in your text, copy the URL, point your browser to 0x.co, paste in the URL and choose to make it a "link" type code.
