I create materials used in poles wielded by folks who teach other people to fish, metaphorically speaking.

@rtweed It's often necessary to traverse edges in both directions, so it's difficult to build the structure without circular references. You could put the all edges into a node:node map instead of embedding them directly, but you'll lose the index-free adjacency performance advantage.

@podpeerpleasure Hey, thanks! I listened to a few episodes, it was nice to hear what everyone has been up to over the years. Sounds like a ton of fun doing the podcast too. Say hi to the old crew for me!

Exploring cellular automata with my kids, our five year old came up with an interesting set of rules that counts in binary. Anyone seen anything like this before?

@pedantic_grue One of the advantages of the 500 line constraint is that the code should be relatively easy to port. (Keeping the stateful parts mostly contained should help here too.) Send me a link if you end up doing that!

Anyone know of a Banach-Tarski-like construction that allows reassembly of a sphere from any sufficiently large subset of pieces (e.g., any three out of five)?
