: UK's play to win a quantum computing race that is still highly theoretical

SQY Computing à MAUREPAS dans les Yvelines accepte désormais le bitcoin. « Installé depuis 2005, nous offrons des services variées, répondant aux problématiques de nos clients. Nous proposons les services suivants : Adresse : Magasin ELP Informatique7, place…

A new era in computing is here! Thermodynamic computing, akin to probabilistic computing, harnesses noise for efficient problem-solving. Imagine a world where physics-based ASICs tailor solutions to…

Two ways of computing the Euler-Mascheroni constant, one much better than the other. Discussing software that's even better.

Suppose you need to write software to compute the sine function. You were told in a calculus class that this is done using Taylor series—it's not, but that's another story—and so you start writing…

In order to add a block to the Bitcoin blockchain, miners must solve a puzzle to demonstrate proof of work. What exactly is that puzzle?

Why do cryptocurrencies use hash-based puzzles to demonstrate proof-of-work? Why not some more intrinsically useful problem?

A short and sweet bit of Python code to test whether an arbitrarily large integer is a square, and to find the floor of the square root.

Most numbers that are representable as machine integers are not exactly representable as floating point numbers.

Could the Electron E1's spatial dataflow architecture be the future of ultralow-power computing?

What can you do if you didn't include a check sum in an identifier then decide you want to go back and add one but don't want to break old IDs?

Wallet Import Format (WIF) is Base58 encoded, which removes some easily confused symbols like 0 and O. The best font for distinguishing the rest of the symbols.
