What it does

UPDATE : Flippy Bit made the Hacker News front page UPDATE : Flippy Bit's story below was an April Fools joke. The science article and video are fake. The game is real though! We at Q42 have teamed up with Russian psychologist Kateryna Afinogenova to create this experiment to test her recent study in which a group of 420 kids were shown to have a natural talent for doing bitwise operations and conversions to hexadecimals. she said to Scientific World News in this exclusive interview , which caught our nerdy attention. Especially the following statement: "While adults have trouble with binary numbers, from around the age of two, children can not only calculate on a binary scale, but even…from flippybitandtheattackofthehexadecimalsfrombase16.com

    Long-simmering side project that is finally ready to see the light. HAMTs are a cool persistent data structure and implementing one has been a lot of fun. Beyond the code, there is likely some value in the extensive and largely complete implementation docs; basic benchmarks are linked in the README, too. Kind of aiming to be "the libavl for HAMTs". That is obviously a high and aspirational bar but a distinct possibility if it stirs up a little interest and/or contribution. Anyways, it's time for this to go out, collect feedback and maybe even some use outside of toy projects. Let me…
