New Year, New bit-player

Published 3 January 2013

New server, new design, new ambitions. It’s been a big project. More later, when I’ve slept. In the meantime, feel free to poke around.

    Looks nice! Just a comment: it seems that there’s a typo. In the main menu, under Extras, the second choice is “Aglorithms” and it leads to http://bit-player.org/wp-content/extras/dla/dla.html which has the title “Aglorithms.”

    Indeed it’s a typo—but one that I’m not going to correct. The second paragraph of the text on that page explains all.

    Oops, sorry, I didn’t read the text. The new format of the site is much nicer (the animated graphic at the top, the additional menu choices, ability to use LaTex in comments, etc.).

    It seems you have to fix a couple of links. Maybe they haven’t survived the server move. In particular, I’d like to look at your limits of growth program (http://bit-player.org/limits), but I always get a “page not found” error page.

    Thanks in advance

    Sorry about that. Thanks for letting me know. Should be fixed now.

My God, It’s Full of Dots!

Dots dapple the interior of a square. There’s always room for one more, but in the end the entire area is covered. To pull off this trick, it turns out you need to know something about zeta functions.

Kenken-Friendly Numbers

Kenken is the funny-page puzzle that allows the number nerds among us to strut their stuff. And it’s not limited to the integers 1 through 6 or the operations +, –, ×, ÷.

Riding the Covid Coaster

Peaks and troughs, lumps and slumps, wave after wave of surge and retreat. I struggle to understand the large-scale undulations of the Covid graph.

The Middle of the Square

The first random-number generator for a digital computer has long been held up as an example of what not to do. How bad was it?
