@einebiene For me it mostly comes from the realization that buying/acquiring things, having stuff and clutter add little or no value to my life so I've been gradually reducing to the bare essentials in some sense. I have things of course but I try to make a point of only owning stuff that I _really_ need or has some deep emotional value which translates to owning as little stuff as possible.

rtsnIt's dangerous to obsess over "what if"-questions but what if I've spent less hours on internet? My life would surely been a lot different. So many hours in my life, and what have I really gained? Not much, I guess it's mostly been a way for me to avoid doing "real" stuff.
@lwflouisa My guess is that it probably had something to do with the programmer in question, rather than the hashing algorithm ;-). If a hashing algorithm gave different results from the same input it would be useless, of course.
Multiply it by itself and change to polar coordinates?
Turns out there's a theorem that this trick doesn't generalise at all! It works for this integral and this integral only! (Modulo some trivial multiplicative constants.)
