| Guess I better start putting my name on my code! But I have to say this is really cool. For instance I was reading about a fast inverse square root method that uses the magic number: 0x5f3759df which was improved by Chris Lamont to use the number: 0x5f375a86 both of which reveal a whole set of interesting mathematics/computer graphics code libraries. And ironically also brought up the slashdot (juveniles) initial search, on "fuck" which ultimately leads to the most reassuring comments in source code: "Shit happens" . For those interested the method is used in a processing library for particle physics: paper here: --joshua |
