In short, most peasant farmers must sharecrop at least some of their land, and on sharecropped land, extraction rates are on the order of 50% (for basically nothing in return).

This reminds me of Zobrist hashing [1] in chess engines. In fact, if you split the sum into 256 columns (instead of 8) and set the prime to 2 for each column, I think it's essentially the same. I'd be curious to see some quantitative benchmarks and their results on performance + collision rates.

I'd rather read the prompt claytonwramsey.com

hey, a fellow figure skater!

You can still draw arcs without sideways slipping. If you do out the math, you’ll see that a skater traveling in a circle has no sideways velocity, but does have sideways acceleration.

Thanks for making this! I got an invite to contribute some time ago but didn't have the time to put something together - it looks amazing though; I'll have to figure out something good next time.

I did think about that! However, I didn't like the idea of making the client side do work to make up for my own poorly-managed website. Forcing users to run code just to render some boring text seems like a waste.
