You're right I think. Though some High school kid with interest might grasp the parts he/she is interested in. There is a big lap from there to "Could be taught in High School". The sheer amount of work is the main obs

I found the way of counting the number of permutations useful. The Hockey stick identity was something long forgotten and fun re-discovering. The way they are generated not so much. So, Sedgewick has an algorithm for generating permutations

I look forward to the next blog post implementing the actual parser.

I'm glad you're fond of Sublime Text. Personally I'm totally sold on 'Vim' I have lsp through 'YouCompleteMe', which works great for C-languages, and I have Automatic update of tags with 'GutenTagsPlu

A cast iron skillet doesn't evolve. The nice thing about Vim is that it evolves to your needs as you configure and reconfigure and tweak as you go along, exploring different itches. I change my .vimrc ever so often, and the changes usu

Using ed interactively, so you can work out some complex operation step by step, is a valid point for using ed instead of sed. Sometimes however, awk is the correct solution. (Why sit and mess with it, if awk provides a straight forward sol

I have used that for years, but there are downsides to the approach as well. So, you revisit a window, and you want to start from where you left, but now, you might maybe wade through 100's of commands before you get back to that point

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I live well with your install.sh not beeing able to reckognize that I'm on Debian and have a slightly different layout than generic Linux. On the other hand, getting installations from outside repos int

My problem is that I drink too little, sometimes, I guess I could have "optimized", by taking an evening/night off, and relaxed with a drink. Some "itchiness" in the morning, can be a good thing too, as I remember f

And if you don't be sure to have at least a good book on discrete mathematics handy.

On my Mac it opens directly in preview, after I clicked the link in Safari. I have not done anything for that functionality, so I'm pleased.

Andrew Koenig, the author of this paper/book, is also co-author of Accellerated C++, which I can whole heartedly recommend. [Addison Wesley ISBN-10: 0-201-70353-X]

I switch the capslock and the control key, so that I have a fairly standard 101 XT key keyboard layout. I also "flip" the function keys, so that I have to press fn-f12 to increase the volume. I do that through keyboard pane of Sys

I don't know about critical thinking in general, or science, but you definetively need some math courses, in order to get the necessary problem solving skills to be able to come up with clever solutions. Some people are born with those

Thanks a lot. :) Well, I can see a couple of books here I wish I had time to read at the moment. I don't mind reading up on a topic in one book, and then later on switching to another more authorative one, should I feel I need to. Howe

What I find personally annoying, is when "you" are in a "competetive pond", and then people drags in stuff from outside the pond, into the pond for competetive purposes. That is unedible, and "foul play" in my

I agree, totally worth reading, clear, concise, and probably very accurate. I liked the section about efficiency best. "Efficiency is more often a matter of design than of good coding". Thanks for posting this.

I couldn't wrap my head around how to solve that. Thanks

It was really a great post, I haven't ranked any of the points he made. I liked especially the authors point of looking at the timestamps, and the lack of coincidence in stuff, and getting a good nights sleep.

IMO: This may be one of the important papers to read (also the link within it) because it gives such a good perspective on things. "Some sees the the Model View Controller model as some observer patterns, while it really is to map the

My favourites are Tiger, Snow Leopard and Mavericks. And I am more pleased with Mavericks than Snow Leopard which I am more pleased with than Tiger. I agree about the testing, but still I think they have managed to keep the technical debt s

I use groups, (look forward, and lookbehind) all the time, now that I have been comfortable with them, they are great in that I can write simpler regexps, or use fewer patterns. And I use perl for one liners, which is as far as I can go com

I liked this write up on the overalls of being a project manager very much. First of all, it was written in a not boring tone, and it also conveyed at least one point that gave me an "AHA" namely "you are just the PM". T

AppleScript should have been Luna Lovegood and C should have been Dumbledore, I guess forth would have been so Harry Potter. :) Allegories are interesting and funny.
