I'd eagerly read a write-up of what you did.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that number is not actually employee income tax, even though the report seems to suggest the same. Employee income tax is an expense of the employee, not the employer. If it is income tax withholding, it's way too small for $150k+ of employee comp, which is another reason I don't think it's that. Instead, I expect this tax line item to be primarily the employer share of FICA tax, which is typically considered a payroll tax instead of an income tax.

Really interested in seeing this movie, but lol at the thought that the owners of the mall ever saw a single cent from envelopes of cash stuffed under an office door.

Sure, if you're using brute force, instead of a polynomial time algorithm.

Hard disagree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_algorithm

Linear Assignment seems a very strange choice to illustrate the utility of meta-heuristics, when that particular problem has a polynomial-time solution algorithm that has been known for 70 years.

Watched your Linear Assignment video, and the whole time I'm thinking why would one ever contemplate a meta-heuristic for Linear Assignment when Hungarian/Munkres runs in polynomial time? I think I must be missing some context.

Game does sound very cool, but lol, author has different game-playing expectations than I do.

Hmmm. The original, in fact, does NOT have the 0x0a at the end of the file; however, in process of deleting first part of file up through and including "1.#####", my linux command line tools (or vim?) added one there (unbeknownst to me at the time). I proceeded to solve first puzzle with the 0x0a there at the end in the head-shortened ciphertext, and I got readable plaintext, but my sha256sum does not match yours. If I remove the 0x0a, I get neither readable plaintext nor a matching sha256sum.

(btw, love this project, thanks for sharing it)

I had a very similar problem this week, trying to encode 5**13 states in a 32-bit int. Should be doable with this. What is this encoding called? I haven't seen it before.

Epic comment and diagram, thanks. From this, how can we calculate bearing and distance from one of our locations to the source? Edit: I see that we can use multilateration suggested by parent-sibling comment if we just had distance to source (ie radius of unique tangent circle).

As a civilian, I'm surprised to learn, with all the technical improvements in mountaineering gear, that frostbite on gloved hands is still an unsolved problem.

I have one, and they are as great as you expect. Used 2013 Nissan Leaf's can be had for $5k or less.

In the transitions between quasi-satellite orbit and horseshoe orbit, why does it not hit Earth?

Starts slow, but really gets going.

Love Bob Ross, but that's a sad little chimney. Actually a vent pipe.

Is it solvable starting from any circle? Or are some starters unsolvable?

Oooh, I like this a lot. Source available?

So all you need to do to identify strangers is snap a photo and mail it to the LoC?

Very fun. Didn't realize I was being timed? When did the timer start? Maybe show it on screen real-time? Increases the pressure!

Or, just try holding your breath for 30-45 seconds. I'm betting you've discovered a round-about way to achieve the same mechanism of action (raising level of CO2 in your blood). https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20140127-do-hiccup-remedi...

My family played Pounce, as you describe. Our heyday was the mid-1980's, in a mid-Atlantic state.

I think this (squareword) would be even more fun with a toggle button to transpose the square.

However, Rockbox does support Opus on other devices. Been using it exclusively on my Sansa Clip+ for at least a year.

Big book. Any of the chapters/papers within that you'd particularly recommend?

Sounds really cool! Got pics?
