VICTOR'S PROBLEM

🌲 Invert a binary tree! 🌲

Except with 3 catches:

It must invert the keys ("bit-reversal permutation")
It must be a dependency-free, pure recursive function
It must have type Bit -> Tree -> Tree (i.e., a direct recursion with max 1 bit state)

APITable sending spam to GitHub users

APITable was sending spam to GitHub users that starred Bitwarden's repository, they don't care about user privacy and you should avoid them.

APITable (apitable.com, https://github.com/apitable) claims itself as an "Airtable alternative" that is "Better than all other Airtable open-source alternatives". ^{source (archive.org)}

But I would recommend avoiding them because they were quite shady, especially with how they are advertising themselves.

Unofficial README for NYC Ranked Choice Voting Cast Vote Record (CVR)

The NYC BOE released the data files, but no metadata or explanation, so we have to do this ourselves.

What is in the files?

Each row is a cast vote, and each column is a preference for a candidate. These are the columns that appear in all spreadsheets, regardless of what borough or ballot type they are:

Column	Explanation
Cast Vote Record	unique ID number
Precinct	AD (assembly district) and ED (election district) where the voter is registered(your polling place is determined by your AD/ED)

The Nestworld was an ordered tangle of massive tubes within gigantic braids forming colossal ropes making up stupefyingly vast cables constituting loops almost beyond imagining, and - despite the fact that the transparent outer casing of each tubular component was metres thick - it all twisted, turned and revolved, easy as a length of thread.

The Nestworld’s principal components were giant tubes full of water; they varied in diameter between ten metres and many tens of kilometres and any individual tube might range over its length from the narrowest gauge to the greatest. They were bundled together without touching into larger braids which were contained within encompassingly greater pipes measuring a hundred kilometres or so across, also water-filled; these too revolved independently and were also bundled within yet

In the accommodation block behind her, the nanomissile embedded in Visquile’s brain sensed his Soulkeeper about to read and save his mind. The explosion of the missile’s warhead destroyed the whole building. Debris rained down, around and through her as she walked calmly away.

Look To The Windward, Closure

The nanomissiles fired at the Affronter ship accelerated towards it in a cloud of sparkling light ahead of the drone; they were picked off, one by one, over the course of a millisecond, in a dizzy flaring scatter of light-blossoms, their tiny warheads and the remains of their anti-matter fuel erupting together; the last one to be targeted by the Affronter’s effector and forced to self-destruct had closed the range to the ship by less than a kilometre.

Behind, all nine of the tumbling nanomissiles must have been picked out by the effector as well, because they detonated too.
