I have rarely experienced a failure of the imagination so complete as standing on Omaha Beach, looking in.

Here's a visual demonstration that there are only finitely many numbers on a finite computer. If you zoom in far enough you can see them, so y=x is actually a step function up really close: desmos.com/calculator/lhiqmv…

Ten years ago, I didn't know what unit tests, version control, or continuous integration were.
Today, my code fails at each of these steps at least once a day.

In mathematics, an elliptic curve is a plane algebraic curve defined by an equation of the form y² = x³ + ax + b that is non-singular; that is, it has no cusps or self-intersections. This is the case for b = 1 buff.ly/2jGGYPu

Broke: Send your DNA to @23andMe, deanonymizing your relatives and descendants
Woke: Don’t send DNA to @23andMe but risk a relative defecting
Bespoke: Use CRISPR to encode a computer virus in your DNA, send DNA to @23andMe and Stuxnet their database
Holy crap. Malware hidden in a strand of DNA hijacks the computer that analyzes that particular gene sequence. wired.com/story/malware-dna-…
