There's a 2d tiling where position can be determined from pattern of adjacent tiles. Kind of binary in 2 dimensions. It's called...what?—@ndw
@ndw if you know the other tiles, just get/set position+1?—@xchaotic
@ndw A quiz, or you can't remember?—@doctortovey
@doctortovey I can't remember. Named after a mathematician. Might begin with "H".—@ndw
It's a square tiling, btw—@ndw

Sort of. Given a tiling of a particular size, say NxM, this tiling allows you to know your position by looking at only JxK adjacent tiles.—@ndw

RT @mojavelinux: As a nation, we can be as great as we want to be. But if we fail at civil rights, we aren't great at all.—@ndw

@doctortovey @ndw Your faith in my knowledge is touching, but sadly misplaced. I can bang on about Penrose tiling but that's about it!—@mdunn1
@mdunn1 @ndw But... but... you *are* omniscient, though? Right?—@doctortovey

Proposition: HTML email is destroying human communication.—@ndw
@ndw if you want your message to come across in appearance and class like a blinking ad, then you should most definitely use #HTML email.—@dret

Maybe there are a billion npm downloads per week because we have to `rm -rf node_modules && npm cache clean` several times per week.—@ryanflorence

Can anyone see why the terminal seems to be screwed up here, or why @travisci decides to kill my job? https://t.co/JyhaBNpMHC #DocBook—@ndw
@ndw @travisci I was getting RSI scrolling down!—@dpawson
@ndw Please email support at https://t.co/Wbay06jXcD and we'll be happy to help—@travisci
.@travisci Thanks. I worked it out. build.gradle has to be in the root. Doesn't matter, even when it runs it takes too much memory. :-(—@ndw
@ndw our Trusty environment, https://t.co/7I9Rx4Qnj55, is a full VM and has 7.5GB RAM. The startup times for jobs are slower than containers—@travisci

@standupmaths There's a 2d tiling where pos can be fnd frm patn of adj tiles. Kind of binary in 2d. It's called? Good 4 @numberphile . :-)—@ndw

Thursday at 05:42pm

Did a Hail Mary tweet about the tiling pattern who's name I still can't remember. Standupmaths and Numberphile in one go!—@ndw

In the #MarkLogic Java client, is there a good example of looking up one-and-only-one result? @ndw @grechaw—@mdubinko
@mdubinko @ndw I've implemented something to scratch that itch at some point. Ah, here, but with eval. https://t.co/uJVECbKG7R—@grechaw
