The XOR swap trick is not useful in most programming situations due to compiler optimization. It can be useful in assembly code when swapping values in registers without spare registers.
The user compares two methods for finding the closest matching word in a large dictionary using Levenshtein distance, with the second method using a trie data structure being over 300 times faster than the first. The second method has a runtime of O(max word length * number of nodes in the trie), making it more efficient for large dictionaries.

Google handed over Amandla Thomas-Johnson's data to ICE without notifying him, breaking a nearly decade-long promise to users. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has asked California and New York Attorneys General to investigate Google for deceptive trade practices.
Spherical harmonics are a set of special polynomials that can be used to approximate any continuous function defined on a sphere. They are an orthonormal basis for the space of continuous functions on a sphere, meaning that any function can be expressed as an infinite weighted sum of spherical harmonics.

Hello interweb, Nate here! Oh, I said in the last post that I’ll do the SuperheroSins episode to DKR Pt 2? I lied! Now I’m a fan of Pokemon, Marvel, DC, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, etc. But I’m also kind of a science nerd. Because of this, sometimes I like to try and use real world science to explain things in fiction. Granted, most things in fiction usually ignores science because if superheroes were ...
