In honor of passing 768 posts a while ago, here's a recap of posts whose index is a power of 2 or a multiple of 128. This post is largely copied from Power of 2 roll call (100).

Power of two, eh? Odd counting system you have there:


>>> 2 ** 9
512
>>> 2 ** 10
1024
>>> math.log(768, 2)
9.5849625007211561

If that's "posts for which the number can be expressed in a binary number with fewer than 3 ones", you're good to go. In that case your index is missing a few entries :)

Either my display is off, or the preview version of that and the final version have almost no relation to each other. If it looks wacky to you as well, just filter out some vertical whitespace.

Yeah—the idea here is that I don't have the post velocity I once did, and I kinda like to post a recap every once in a while. So now I'm doing these on posts numbered 2^x and y*128, for x and y in non-negative Z.
