I'm in an article in Quanta Magazine! It's about the bizarre world of algorithms that re-use memory that's already full. https://www.quantamagazine.org/catalytic-computing-taps-the-full-power-of-a-full-hard-drive-20250218/ I'm the one with all the snow in the background.

@falsifian Oh, that's neat! Interesting how "obviously" isn't all that obvious at all, even to the contrary. I reckon I have to read up on that subject on the weekend. :-)

I like how Ian's and your photo complement each other, winter and summer join forces for something special. :-)

@lyse I am a big fan of "obvious" math facts that turn out to be wrong. If you want to understand how reusing space actually works, you are mostly stuck reading complexity theory papers right now. Ian wrote a good survey: https://iuuk.mff.cuni.cz/~iwmertz/papers/m23.reusing_space.pdf . It's written for complexity theorists, but some of will make sense to programmers comfortable with math. Alternatively, I wrote an essay a few years ago explaining one technique, with (math-loving) programmers as the intended audience: https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/ .

Thanks, @falsifian! I'll definitely start with the latter one then. Let's see how far I make it. :-)

@falsifian Neat, I got the principle, so mission accomplished. :-)

I have configured my vim to use a tab width of four. So, I noticed that especially https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/reachability_with_stack.cc (but also partially the other C++ file) mixes tabs and spaces for indentation. :-)

@lyse Thanks for taking a look, and for pointing out the mixture of tabs and spaces.

I think I'll leave reachability.c alone, since my intention there was to use an indent level of one tab, and the spaces are just there to line up a few extra things. I fixed reachability_with_stack.cc though.
