Has anyone else had that good feeling where you've synthesized a c/17d ship and the gliders don't cross paths as far as you know?
Sorry for self-promoting, but I just feel I need to share this.
I know I'm a bit of a hypocrite to mention my own thread when I once condemned doing something like that...
But this is random posts and it's not like I'm the first person to do this.

I said a c/17d ship

[testitemqlstudop]

I mean only the good feeling lol
The number of nontotalistic rules is astronomical - 2^102 - and the loosely defined "interesting" ones at least number in the vingintillions. Somewhere in the isotropic rulespace there is a 2-glider synthesis for a c/17d.

Somewhere in the isotopic rulespace the most common ship is a c/17d, and it's at least as common as a G.

[testitemqlstudop]

YES THAT IS WHAT I MEAN, THE G IS C/17

I can solve a Rubik's cube using one of ye olde standard algorithms but there's one part I can't remember--fortunately I found an alternative (though far longer) sequence of moves that does it. It's kinda recursive I guess.

Quine pseudocode:
print(this)

This devolves into print(print(print(print(print(print(print(...)))))) which must be a quine since with infinitely many layers that and that but without one of the prints is indistinguishable (sorta like e_0 = w^e_0. It's just that this = print(this) looks different)

Since this is defined as whatever all your stuff is, print(this) is essentially like x = print x
print x except you don't need to define x


Though technically looking at your own source code is frowned upon...
