Alan Turing submits On Computable Numbers for publication.
His proof shows that there can be no mechanical, general method (i.e., a Turing machine or a program in some equivalent model of computation) to determine whether algorithms halt. However, each individual instance of the halting problem has a definitive answer, which may or may not be practically computable.

#kdtree and ball trees seem cool, but require full knowledge of the thing I'm searching for. What if it's 7 dimensional and I only know 4 of the values?
I feel like a "parallel kd tree" with a separate binary index on each dimension would work better here.
Reduce depth. Allow unspecified values. It'd also be a snap to create and search each dim in parallel.
If you are interested in presenting "work in progress" that intersects computing and society, consider submitting a talk to ACM SIGCAS Works In Progress (WIP). These are online discussions where you can present your work, discuss it with the SIGCAS community, and gain insightful feedback.
I just shared a post with an IRL friend about a dude who was homeless and on #heroin and once he got clean, he got a #ComputerScience degree with a 4.0 GPA.
#BASIC#ProgrammingLanguages#ComputerScience: "Sixty years ago, on May 1, 1964, at 4 am in the morning, a quiet revolution in computing began at Dartmouth College. That's when mathematicians John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz successfully ran the first program written in their newly developed BASIC (Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) programming language on the college's General Electric GE-225 mainframe.
Little did they know that their creation would go on to democratize computing and inspire generations of programmers over the next six decades."
You need to replace references to the variable "terrainHeightValue" in your code with "terrainHeatValue". You know it's limited to one function, and there are 5-8 instances to be replaced.
