The USAMO winner list is here: http://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/USAMO_Winners_2016_1.... Apparently the final team was not chosen strictly from the top 12 (Michael Kural and …

Lee Sedol winning, and keeping his cool and not make any mistakes. AlphaGo, on the other hand, went bonker especially towards the end but it got into bad territory not because of s…

This is interesting. I wrote Tagxedo http://www.tagxedo.com which is another kind of constrained packing problem and there is a bit of similarity in the approaches. This is the fir…

Nice. One improvement would be to throw in letters in frequencies proportional to the likelihood of appearance in actual text. For example: http://www.math.cornell.edu/~mec/2003-20…

I tried out the zooming capability (nice) but it seems like your stroke width does not change in response to the zoom level (at least not in lock step)? So the redness in the lady'…

It seems to be the case.

Another feature request... if a tile is already illegal (too many committed blue in line of sight, or no way to commit more blue to satisfy requirement), flag it already. I think t…

Yes, linear gradient within each triangle. It has a non-gradient mode but not turned on. The difference is minor though: Gradient = more "silky" and less triangular. No gradient = …

Neat. I have a related project called Polygonian -- http://www.polygonian.com -- runs on browser and requires Chrome Native Client that does something similar. Here's the output of…

This is indeed an interesting problem. I don't know what the runtime breakdown is, most likely in the sorting routine, but if that's the case the problem can be solved much faster …

As a long-time C++ developer I wish people don't use any commenting tricks such as this, and I wish people don't use /* * / to comment their code, even if you develop in C. Instead…

Steve Jobs killed Silverlight (and Flash). Not by providing a strictly superior technology, but by declaring that the category (rich web client) is unimportant. I'm unhappy that Si…
