The Tinkerbell map is a chaotic dynamical system with an interesting strange attractor. The iterated function is
$$
x_{n+1} = x_n^2 - y_n^2 + a x_n + b y_n
$$
$$
y_{n+1} = 2 x_n y_n + c x_n + d x_n
$$
In this example, the parameters are $a=0.9$, $b=-0.6013$, and $c=2.0$. $d$ is randomly chosen on $(0.35, 0.55)$, and the colour is based on $d$.

My notes on setting up a new mac, probably only useful for me.
Suppose you have a few commits in a git repository, and some of them are on the wrong branch. They're listed below from the oldest (a) to newest (g). The letters represent the commit checksums.
a b c d e f gYou want to move the bold commits b, d, and e to a new branch. So start by checking out the commit before the first bad one and creating a branch there.

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 5 database is lockedand halting in test that didn't touch the database. The problem was in an unrelated test that ran before it. The test uses iterators to examine database contents, but didn't iterate all the way through the result set. The iterator left the database locked.
