gruskon Fun with math: Dividing one by 998001 yields a surprising result

The way I was introduced to this was as a math trick: Pick a number 1-9, multiply by 9, then 12345679, and you get a string of whatever number you picked.

Also, pick any three-digit number, multiply by 7, 11, and 13 (or 1001), and you get your three-digit number repeated twice.

gruskon Show HN: HackPad is the best wiki ever

I really like the execution of this. It's like the Quick Notes web extension, however my beef with Quick Notes app is that I've lost some notes because I didn't realize that there might be a maximum character limit (not sure if there is or if my notes got wiped some other way). https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mijlebbfndhelmdpml...

Could you make this into a Chrome web app, please?

gruskon What’s Your Permanent Age? (2007)

I often feel like I'm a 12-year-old trying to operate an overgrown body. Youth has passed me by. My intellectual prime was when I was 12-14. That's when I started questioning the concept of god, contemplated existence, the universe, the purpose, function, and meaning of life, and made up my core philosophical and political beliefs influenced by John Lennon. I still secretly read young adult fiction from time to time.

I don't think anyone really grows up - people just get older. Adults are just kids with money. The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys, as the saying goes. I never feel any different on my birthday.

“I don’t know if I’ve come of age, but I’m certainly older now. I feel shrunken. As if there’s a tiny, ancient Oliver Tate inside me operating the levers of a life sized Oliver-shaped shell. A shell on which a decrepit picture show replays the same handful of images.” — Oliver Tate, Submarine

Can you tell us how? My condolences. I was watching a couple interviews with Ilya on Youtube and it's clear he was a very bright kid with a lot of potential.
