 - **[Square root](sqrt.md)/square** (integer) can be roughly approximated too. E.g. to get a quick "almost square" of a number you can try something like doubling each binary digit and shifting everything right, e.g. `101` -> `11001` -- it's not very accurate but may be [good enough](good_enough.md) e.g. for some graphics effects and may be especially effective as hardware implementation as it works instantly and uses literally no [logic gates](logic_gate.md) (you just reorder bits)! A bit improved version may construct a pair of digits from each digit as logical AND (upper bit) and logical OR (lower bit) of the bit with its lower neighbor (lowest bit may still just be doubled), e.g. `1101` -> `11010111`. Square root can similarly be roughly estimated by reducing each pair of bits with logical OR down to a single bit (e.g. `101100` -> `110`). { Dunno if this is actually used anywhere, I came up with this once before I fell asleep. ~drummyfish } A famous hack in Quake, called *fast inverse square root*, uses a similar approximation in [floating point](float.md). 
 - **[3D graphics](3d_rendering.md)** is almost completely about approximations, e.g. basically all shapes are approximated with triangle meshes, [screen space](screen_space.md) effects (like [SSAO](ssao.md)) are used to approximate global illumination, reflections etc. Similarly [ray tracing](ray_tracing.md) neglects indirect lighting etcetc.
 - **[Real numbers](real_number.md)** are practically always approximated with [floating point](floating_point.md) or [fixed point](fixed_point.md) (rational numbers).
-- **[Numerical methods](numerical.md)** offer generality and typically yield approximate solutions while their precision vs speed can be adjusted via parameters such as number of iterations.
+- **[Numerical methods](numerical.md)** allow us to find approximate solutions to very general equations (ones that are impossible or impractical to solve analytically with absolute precision) by iterative evaluation of infinite series that converge towards the solution. These methods allow fine tuning speed vs precision via parameters such as the number of iterations or desired error against correct solution. This is very often used in engineering and practical applications of mathematics to the [real world](irl.md) where we encounter very complex equations. One of the simplest and most famous numerical tools is the Newton's method that (as long as some conditions hold) iterates towards the solution based on first [derivative](detivative.md) of the function.
 - **[Taylor series](taylor_series.md)** approximates given mathematical function and can be used to e.g. estimate solutions of [differential equations](differential_equation.md).
 - [Rotation](rotation.md) around an axis, especially by small angles, can be approximated by skewing in one direction, then in another.

-Byte (symbol: B) is a basic unit of [information](information.md), now practically always consisting of 8 [bits](bit.md) (for which we also use the term **octet**), which allow storing 2^8 = 256 distinct values (for example a number in range 0 to 255).

In conventional [programming](programming.md) a one byte [variable](variable.md) is seen as very small and used mostly when we find ourselves pressured by tight memory constraints (e.g. [embedded](embedded.md)) or to mimic older 8bit computers ("[retro](retro.md) games" etc.): one byte can be used to store very small numbers (while in today's mainstream processors basic numbers usually consist of 4 or 8 bytes), text characters ([ASCII](ascii.md), ...), very primitive [colors](color.md) (see [RGB332](rgb332.md), [palettes](palette.md), ...) etc.

 Historically *byte* was used to stand for the basic addressable unit of memory capable of storing one text character or another "basic value" and could therefore have a different size than 8 bits: for example ASCII machines might have had a 7bit byte, 16bit machines a 16bit byte etc.; in [C](c.md) (standard 99) `char` is the "byte" data type, its byte size is always 1 (`sizeof(char) == 1`), though its number of bits (`CHAR_BIT`) can be greater or equal to 8; if you need an exact 8bit byte use types such as `int8_t` and `uint8_t` from the standard `stdint` library. From now on we will implicitly talk about 8bit bytes.
 
 **Value of one byte can be written exactly with two [hexadecimal](hexadecimal.md) digits** with each digit always corresponding to higher/lower 4 bits, making mental conversions very easy; this is very convenient compared to [decimal](decimal.md) representation, so programmers prefer to write byte values in hexadecimal. For example a byte whose binary value is *11010010* is *D2* in hexadecimal (*1101* is always *D* and *0010* is always *2*), while in decimal we get 210.
 
-**Byte frequency/probability**: it may be [interesting](interesting.md) and/or useful (e.g. for [compression](compression.md)) to know how often different byte values appear in the data we process with computers -- indeed, this always DEPENDS; if we are working with plain [ASCII](ascii.md) text, we will never encounter values above 127, and on the other hand if we are processing photos from a polar expedition, we will likely mostly encounter byte values of 255 (as snow will cause most pixels to be completely white). In general we may expect values such as [0](zero.md), 255, [1](one.md) and [2](two.md) to be most frequent, as many times these are e.g. assigned special meanings in data encodings, they may be cutoff values etc. Here is a table of measured byte frequencies in real data:

 **Blindfold play**: it's quite impressive that very good players can play completely blindfold, without any actual chessboard, and some can even play many games simultaneously this way. This is indeed not easy to do and playing blindfold naturally decreases one's strength a bit (it seems this is more of a case on lower level of play though). It is however not the case that only an exceptional genius could play this way, probably anyone can learn it, it's just a matter of training (it's a matter of developing an efficient mental representation of the board rather than actually exactly remembering the whole board -- in psychology called *chunking*). Probably all masters (above FIDE ELO 2000) can play blindfold. They say the ability comes naturally just by playing countless games. How to learn playing blindfold then? Just play a lot of chess, it will come naturally -- this is the advice probably most often given. However if you specifically wish to learn blindfold play, you may focus on it, e.g. by training blindfold against very weak computer. Some software chess boards offer a mode in which one can see the position and color of all men but not which type they are -- this may perhaps be a good start. It may possibly also be done very gradually -- for example start by covering just part of the board and every week cover yet more squares; eventually you'll have them all covered.
 
-On **perfect play**: as stated, chess is unlikely to be ever solved so it is unknown if chess is a theoretical forced draw or forced win for white (or even win for black), however many simplified endgames and some simpler chess variants have already been solved. Even if chess was ever solved, it is important to realize one thing: **perfect play may be unsuitable for humans** and so even if chess was ever solved, it might have no significant effect on the game played by humans. Imagine the following: we have a chess position in which we are deciding between move *A* and move *B*. We know that playing *A* leads to a very good position in which white has great advantage and easy play (many obvious good moves), however if black plays perfectly he can secure a draw here. We also know that if we play *B* and then play perfectly for the next 100 moves, we will win with mathematical certainty, but if we make just one incorrect move during those 100 moves, we will get to a decisively losing position. While computer will play move *B* here because it is sure it can play perfectly, it is probably better to play *A* for human because human is very likely to make mistakes (even a master). For this reason humans may willingly choose to play mathematically worse moves -- it is because a slightly worse move may lead to a safer and more comfortable play for a human.

It's like having two [chess](chess.md) players, one being limited by some further rules, for example only being able to take the opponent's pieces in self defense, not being able to attack first -- it is possible the disadvantaged player will win some games, but if they keep perpetually playing games over and over and reach about the same skill level, the disadvantage will inevitably make the crippled player to eventually be losing every single game.

 As a programmer you will encounter the term **library [API](api.md)** -- this is the interface of the library consisting of the elements via which programmer uses the library, mostly the [functions](function.md) the library offers. API is what the programmer interacts with; the rest is library internals (its [implementation](implementation.md)) that's usually supposed to not be touched and stay a bit hidden (see [encapsulation](encapsulation.md)). If a programmer wants to know the library API, he wants to know the names of the functions, what [parameters](parameter.md) they take etc. Sometimes there may be multiple libraries with the same API but different internal implementations, this is nice because these libraries can be easily [drop-in-replaced](drop_in.md). The library API is usually part of its documentation -- when learning a new library *X*, you want to search the internet for something like *X library API reference* to see what functions it offers.

+We generally divide libraries into two types:
 
-- **[static](static.md)**: The library code is embedded into the executable of the final program so that the library files have to be distributed along with the program.

But of course this results in bigger executable, and if we have multiple programs that use the same library which is statically linked, each program will have a [redundant](redundancy.md) copy of the library code, wasting memory (both storage and [RAM](ram.md)).
-- **[dynamic](dynamic.md)** (also *shared*): The compiled library code resides in a separate file ([DLL](dll.md) on [Windows](windows.md), [.so](so.md) in [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md)) which may need to be distributed along with the program, but this one file can be shared among all programs that use the library so the compiled programs can be smaller.

RAM may also be saved as the dynamic library may be loaded just once for multiple simultaneously running programs.

 Many times a library can have both static and dynamic version available, or the compiler may allow to automatically link the library as static or dynamic. Then it's up to the programmer which way he wants to go.

 TODO: example
 
 **Header only** or **single header** library is a kind of [keep-it-simple](kiss.md) library that's wholly implemented in a single header (.h) file -- this is kind of a [hack](hacking.md) going against "official recommendations" as header files aren't supposed to contain implementation code, just declarations, however single header libraries are [suckless](suckless.md)/[LRS](lrs.md), convenient and very easy to use, as they don't have to be [linked](linking.md) and are nicely self-contained, distributed in one nice file. A traditional library would consist of one or more header (.h) files and one or more implementation (.c) files; such library has to be compiled on its own and then linked to the program that uses it -- the idea behind this was to compile the library only once and so save time on recompiling it again and again; however this justification is invalid if our library is simple enough and compiles very quickly (which it always should, otherwise we are dealing with badly designed [bloat](bloat.md)). A single header library can therefore just be included and [just works](just_werks.md), without any extra hassle -- yes, its code recompiles every time the program is compiled, but as stated, it doesn't hurt if our library is well designed and therefore simple. Single header libraries often include the option (via some #define macro) to include just the declaration or both declarations and implementation code -- this is useful if our main program is composed of multiple source files and needs to be linked. [LRS](lrs.md) libraries, such as [small3dlib](small3dlib.md) or [raycastlib](raycastlib.md), are of course single header libraries.

 *Life is the greatest miracle of our Universe.*
 
+The definition of *life* depends on context and particular field of study and is typically very broad and [fuzzy](fuzzy.md), but generally speaking it's a form of very complex behavior similar to that of humans, often characterized by attributes such as reproduction, thinking, emotion, reacting to stimuli, growing, communication, [consciousness](consciousness.md), self preservation instincts etc. This separates matter to living (animals, humans, plants, ...) and non-living ([rocks](rock.md), water, ...), we say something is either alive of [dead](death.md). It's hard to isolate an exact set of attributes identifying life because whenever we think of an attribute as a necessity for life, we can subsequently break the definition by imagining something without said attribute that would still be perceived as living: for example should we naturally assume reproduction a necessary attribute of life, we can immediately think of a sterile individual incapable of reproduction who is nonetheless still quite clearly a living being. Therefore we tend to classify life by fuzzy [clustering](cluster.md), in terms of "[closeness](distance.md)" to what we typically expect a living being to look like (and this closeness, i.e. distance, may give rise to a spectrum, implying some things may be "more alive" than others, as in "humans are more alive than viruses"), and this in turn comes with borderline cases where we remain unsure, such as [artificial intelligence](ai.md). Some have alternatively defined life as **that which resists [entropy](entropy.md)**, i.e. systems that maintain their own ordered structure in spite of natural laws constantly working towards everything "turning to dust", and that would be an excellent definition wasn't it for the fact that some just can't find it satisfactory: for example most religions or biologists can't accept it as even robots are hereby classified as living beings. Biologists may define life as carbon-based matter exhibiting certain biological processes. Religions often connect life with "soul", a supernatural essence present in humans, animals and perhaps even plants. For the purposes of [our](lrs.md) wiki we will define life as that which **by its behavior, especially showing experience of pleasure and suffering, is similar to us, humans**. For us life is the greatest miracle in our [Universe](universe.md) and we choose to [make it our goal](less_retarded_society.md) to support it, make it thrive and be happy.

+Life and circumstances of life, such as its origin, mechanisms, purpose and abundance in the Universe, are among the greatest mysteries in existence.

Origin of life itself remains unanswered as well. Some believe it may have been brought to Earth from different parts of the Universe, e.g. by comets -- the so called *panspermia* theory. Most prevalent is however the theory that life arose itself [by chance](randomness.md) from non-living matter, which is called *abiogenesis*. But, again, we don't have a slightest clue about how likely it is for life to randomly come to be on its own, scientists never came close to replicating such process in their laboratories.

 - **Extreme repetition/[spam](spam.md)** and annoyance: this includes repeating the same commercial over and over (e.g. every 10 minutes) as well as repeating the name of the product several times in every sentence (*"At X we believe in X, we recommend X because X is the best. For more info about X visit www.X.com. Remember, X is the best. Your X."*). Email spam, phone calls, leaflets and other spam is also a requirement for making any business succeed nowadays, you just cannot win attention by "playing nice" when everyone else plays dirty. The extreme repetition even commonly surpasses the threshold of **psychological torture** -- employees of supermarkets for example complain about the pain of having to listen to the same ad over and over, 8 hours every day, for many it becomes unbearable.
 - **Psychological tricks and abuse** such as for example **fake discounts**: a product is presented as being on discount while in reality it's still highly overpriced, the price was just increased for a single day, then set back and now it's presented as a discount because people love the word "discount" and think they're saving money when in fact they're being raped. Most products are now constantly on "discount" for this reason. Another trick is **abusing songs** and shitty catchy melodies, often destroying existing good [music](music.md) this way by for example changing the lyrics of a nice famous song and then repeating it so many times you get sick of it and never want to even hear the original ever again. This abuses the fact that a song will get stuck in one's head and keep torturing the individual into thinking about the advertised product constantly. Similarly ads like to show food to people in attempts to rise their appetite, even (and perhaps especially) in obese people who shouldn't be overeating anymore and who are struggling to stay on a diet, and so ads literally pose a health risk to millions, they push overweight people to eating more -- consider that most people in the first world are overweight and should try to eat less rather than more, ads are trying to force them to do the opposite (of course additionally forcing food that's not healthy at all) -- not even talking about the fact that the "food" in question is almost always very unhealthy in itself. Supermarkets **intentionally create [mazes](maze.md)** and constantly change placement of items so that people always get lost, spend more time in the shop, see more items and are more likely to buy more things. They use colored lights to make fruit look more fresh and juicy than it actually is.

 By further analysis we find that (TRUE) progress means increasing (TRUE) [freedom](freedom.md), i.e. enabling more options to freely choose from, while ideally -- and very importantly -- NOT removing the already available options, i.e. progress should for example ensure that people can wear clothes, but it must NOT come at the price of making it mandatory to wear clothes, otherwise we are not dealing with progress, only with change or transformation (and whether the change is good or bad is then a separate question). Today's dystopic society aiming to exploit people (as opposed to being concerned with their well being) indeed twisted the meaning of "progress" exactly to stand for "constant change", which is additionally either insignificant (in the better case) or for the worse (usually the case).
 
-Primarily we must realize one thing: by definition the only true progress that matters and should be pursued is just that which gets us closer to our [ideal society](less_retarded_society.md), i.e. progress is only that which makes the life of every individual better as a whole and all other kinds of "progress", such as [technological](tech.md), [scientific](science.md), artistic, political and so on exist SOLELY to serve the main progress of well being of individuals. A thousand year leap in technological development is worth absolutely nothing if it doesn't serve the main goal, it's useless if we can send a car to space, harvest energy of a whole star or find the absolute meaning of life if that doesn't serve the main goal -- in fact such "progress" is [nowadays](21st_century.md) mostly made so that it works AGAINST the main goal, i.e. [corporations](corporation.md) develop more complicated technology to exploit people more and make them more miserable -- that is not true progress, it is its exact opposite.

That is once we say the programming language is a function f(x), where *x* is source code and the function's output is the program's output, quine is such *x* that *f(x) = x*. **A quine can be written in any [Turing complete](turing_completeness.md) [language](programming_language.md)**, the proof comes from the *fixed point theorem* (which says functions satisfying certain conditions always have a fixed point).

-Attempt mathematically similar to making quines include e.g. making self matching [regular expressions](regex.md) (for this task to be non-trivial the regex has to be for example enclosed between `/`s). Yet another similar challenge is a [polyglot](polyglot.md) program -- one that is a valid program in several languages -- some programs can be quines and polyglots at the same time, i.e. **polyglot quines**.
+The difficulty in constructing a quine lies indeed in the **[self reference](self_reference.md)** which makes the solution "run away" as we're chasing it: as we are working on the solution (changing the source code), the goal itself (source code we have to output) keeps changing, and so we cannot just single-line print a string literal containing the source we currently have at hand because the string would have to contain itself, making it [infinite](infinity.md) in length. Challenges mathematically similar by this aspect -- i.e. complicated by self reference -- include for example constructing self matching [regular expressions](regex.md) (but for this to be non-trivial additional constraints must be given: let's say that the regex must be enclosed between `/`s) or creating images that spell out their own [hash](hash.md).
 
-The challenging part of writing quines lies indeed in the [self reference](self_reference.md) and the fact that as we are working on the solution, we keep changing the goal -- normally we cannot just single-line print a string literal containing the source because that string literal would have to contain itself, making it [infinite](infinity.md) in length. The idea commonly used to solve the problem is following:
+The idea commonly used to create a quine is following:
 
 1. On first line start a definition of string *S*, later copy-paste to it the string on the second line.
 2. On second line put a command that prints the first line, assigning to *S* the string in *S* itself, and then prints *S* (the second line itself).
 
-Yet a stronger quine is so called **radiation hardened quine**, a quine that remains quine even after any one character from the program has been deleted (found here in [Ruby](ruby.md): https://github.com/mame/radiation-hardened-quine). Other plays on the theme of quine include e.g. a program that produces a bigger program which will again produce yet bigger program etc.

 Another extension of a quine is **multiquine** -- this is NOT a polyglot quine! Multiquine is a quine written in some programming language *L0*; under normal circumstances this program behaves like a normal quine, but it has an extra feature: when passed a parameter *N* (e.g. through [CLI](cli.md) flag or through standard input), it will print a program in another language, *LN*, which itself is this multiquine (so it can again be used to get back the program in *L0* and so on). I.e. a multiquine is a quine which can switch between several languages.

Other ways of weird suicide may include e.g. zoo suicide (feeding the lions with oneself -- cruel and painful but entertaining to onlookers), jumping into plane engine, venomous snake bite, parachute jumping without the parachute, plane crash, sauna death, hydraulic press, jumping into boiling pools of water, eating glass, provoking mafia, insulting MMA fighter's mom, X ray overdose (for medical staff), triggering avalanche, running infinite marathon, jumping from waterfalls, swimming under ice, jumping overboard from a cruise ship, jumping into volcano, moving to Mexico, having sex over and over until heart attack (for old people), cooking oneself in the Sun (for albino people), crashing one's balls with a hammer, self cannibalism, listening to U2 for a whole day, nailgun, intentionally getting lost during caving, speeding on motorcycle with cheese cutter tied to a [tree](tree.md) and put over the neck, handcuffing oneself to a tree deep in a forest and throwing away the keys (this actually happened), trebuchet, explosive decompression, nuking the city you're in (if you're the president), catching a lightning, chasing a tornado, trespassing on someone's property in the [USA](usa.md), jumping in front of a rally car, opening one's suit in [space](space.md) (if you're an astronaut), Internet suicide (just start expressing controversial thoughts like we do [here](lrs_wiki.md)), using cheap submarine to dive to Mariana trench and be crushed (super quick and painless) etc. A particularly funny suicide is described in [Encyclopedia Dramatica](dramatica.md) (http://edramatica.com/Suicide#How_to_Off_Yourself) as "the awesome": one glues his hands to his head and jumps off of some height with cheese cutter over his neck; this results in someone finding a body of someone who looks as if he ripped his head off with his bare hands.

 Zoomers also don't know what headphones are, they just walk and play music or videos at full volume, not giving a single shit about the fact this is pissing off everyone around, a zoomer can't even comprehend anything so complex as empathy.
 
+Fun fact: "Zoomer" was also the name of a creature in Metroid games, described as "not having a brain", just flying in staight lines.
