A trick to eliminate 2π (sometimes)
As a physicist, I’ve learned that the presence of 2 π 2\pi 2 π [▼] [ Or rather τ \tau τ , as it should actually be called . ] in a formula usually spells trouble. It’s kind of annoying to write by hand, easy to forget, and it’s dimensionless, so you can’t easily check if you forgot to divide or multiply by it…

Weird Expressions in Rust
Rust has a very powerful type system, but as a result it has some quirks, some would say cursed expressions. There’s a test file, weird-expr.rs , in the rust repository that tests for some of these and makes sure there consistent between updates. So I wanted to go over each of these and explain how it’s valid rust.

Beating the Compiler
In modern times, everyone knows that writing assembly is a fool's errand: compilers are the result of literal engineer-centuries of work, and they know the processor much better than you do.

Unexecute
This here is the epitome of craziness. I could very well give up my search for more scary things in Emacs because I very much doubt I’ll find anything more fear-inducing, but first of all, let’s explain what’s wrong with it. Unlike my previous examples it’s not something I can show you by just pointing at code…

My favorite prime number generator
Many years ago I've re-posted a Stack Overflow answer with Python code for a terse prime sieve function that generates a potentially infinite sequence of prime numbers ("potentially" because it will run out of memory eventually). Since then, I've used this code many times - mostly because it's short and clear. In this…
