That is this post. Sapling.

GP was probably talking about a time when they used it internally but maybe it didn't have a name by then.


ahem .... explain like I am 0.5


This isn’t exactly it, but roughly: Make a vector space with primes as a basis (instead of “x, y, z,…” use “2, 3, 5, …”). For a number, find its prime factors. Make a vector and set elements corresponding to the prime factors of the number equal to 1. Apply some algorithm to map a high-dimensional (more than 2 elements) vector into a two dimensional image where color has some significance.


Numbers are placed in an image according to their prime numbers


lmao, they are actually identical.


WOW, that is brilliant.


>> Their docs and website try very hard to suggest you should use it for some kind of CI process...

Just a piece of feedback for the record: I have been stuck in exactly the same place the few times I was interested in trying out a ripgrep alternative that understood semantics, but didn't have such an urgent need to actually understand how to get things going.


Thanks! Could you let me know what you'd change on our Getting Started[0] page to explain the CLI usage better?

I'd suggest adding at least one example of using `semgrep --pattern <pattern>`. That seems pretty well hidden in the docs, and for me it's the most useful option.

I wasn't trying to search for things that other people thought were interesting; I wanted a tool that would search for some pattern I thought of - and preferably without having to write a yaml file.


Thanks a lot! I opened a pull request with your suggestion here: https://github.com/returntocorp/semgrep-docs/pull/744

Edit: It's approved but that's just our CEO :D I'll wait for an approval from our tech writers who are in non-US time zones, so your suggestion will likely land tomorrow. Thank you!

Well, that's going to be a very cool class I best !


Just for people who didn't watch the video. They could only fit 12 bits in that they determined to be "optimal size" handle by making them half-size. But they disliked the idea of locking people into their bits, and changed the design so that a little rotation can adapt the storage area to 6 standard-sized bits.

Hi, do you think you guys would be open to hiring an 8 months paid internship?
