I always learn something new from @… . This time, it was the existence of this book.
Can you write a whole book about a program? About a *1-line program*?
Turns out you can, and it is totally worth reading:

About 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10, a book from the MIT Press

My favorite actor from DS9, Armin Shimerman, aka "Quark". So much better than waiting in line at the cons. 😜

A general approach to permutation polynomials from quadratic forms
We investigate a family of permutation polynomials of finite fields of characteristic 2. Through a connection between permutation polynomials and quadratic forms, a general treatment is presented to characterize these permutation polynomials. By determining some character sums associated with quadratic forms, we explicitly describe several classes of permutation polynomials.

Fantastic Flips and Where to Find Them: A General Framework for Parameterized Local Search on Partitioning Problem
Parameterized local search combines classic local search heuristics with the paradigm of parameterized algorithmics. While most local search algorithms aim to improve given solutions by performing one single operation on a given solution, the parameterized approach aims to improve a solution by performing $k$ simultaneous operations. Herein, $k$ is a parameter called search radius for which the value can be chosen by a user. One major goal in the field of parameterized local search is to outlin…
