@xerz whatever the maintainers enjoy doing. Realistically, the vast majority (99%, at least) of Open Source projects will be the former. But, for large projects with a lot of people who care about it, if everyone can agree to make it some kind of democracy and wrangle a community into supporting it, I'm happy for them. I want the people writing the code to mostly enjoy the process, because otherwise the project will die.

@gwcoffey I didn't but I read about PiFS which used offset into pi as a FUSE filesystem, and a friend of mine used it!

@cwebber Did you ever read that story about the guy who tried to use "offset into pi" as a compression algorithm?

@cwebber You likely never met the Steve of Eratosthenes. You don't have to pre-calculate. You just have to ask Steve. There's an API for it.

Before you jump into my replies, yes I know

Precalculating what numbers are prime?
I mean strictly speaking that's just an optimization

Game & Watch Multi Screen: Life Boat (1983).
Not just the precursor to the Game Boy—it also foreshadowed the Nintendo DS. That’s right: back in 1983, Nintendo was already experimenting with dual LCD screens.
The premise is simple but tense. Passengers leap from a burning ship, and you’ve got to catch them in lifeboats suspended by rope. Each boat only holds four survivors. After that, anyone else goes straight into shark country. To save them, you need to unload boats quickly and keep the flow moving.
Game A gives you two lifeboats to work with. Game B is cruel: just one lifeboat, and the pace ramps up until you’re practically sweating bullets.
It’s surprisingly solid—easily a cut above the cheap Tiger Electronics knockoffs that came later. Nintendo really were laying down the blueprint for handheld gaming.
