I mentally cross out the "not" and the "un" or "in"; then it reads correctly. e.g.: "not uncommon" becomes " common"

Seconded. Devote a short episode to tools, but don't mix the tools and programming too much.

Very cool. I don't have many Haskell coders where I spend my time, so it is nice to watch how someone with more experience tackles fairly basic programming tasks. The guard window and quickcheck in particular were eye-opening.

It's not so simple. Any language (that is actually implemented) is always designed with regular specific consideration for implementation strategies. In fact I would go so far as to say the implementation is the design in practice. For exam

IANAL, so isn't one of the counterparts to intent in law negligence?

Well good on you taking a reasoned but unpopular position. I agree that the description of the events seems to leave out a bit, particularly the emotional content of the interactions. The rig does look intimidating and I'm not sure how I'd

You had me until "somewhat write-only." Sounds like you are poisoning your code-base with square functional pegs in round C++ holes...

Can anyone describe the types of people who bid+pay 5 and 10 thousand dollars for these projects? I can't imagine devoting that much money to a playdate at PAHQ or to hang out for the day with the designer of the OUYA. It doesn't seem lik

It took me awhile to figure out what this is. Jeff Wofford has cloned IGN's article and made small but important changes as way of giving IGN some of the medicine they are recommending for others.

One difference is that macros (whether run-time or compile-time) use a call-by-name evaluation strategy. Hence they are a form of lazy evaluation. Functions (in scheme and lisp) are call-by-value IIRC.

Nordstrom offers unlimited and lifetime exchanges for cash. It appears to work well (overall) for them.

Hopefully it'll eventually become a computer with no screen or keyboard, just a big red button which turns the thing off. I'd buy that.

I doubt it's too gory... its probably just that "hitting pause" would pause whatever is deciding to put the block of text up so it would never go away...

More than that, the experience surrounding the purchase decision for the $6 coffee is packed with seemingly reliable indicators of quality. From the neighborhood of the coffee shop to all of the design and decor of the physical place to t

I was one month away from starting college, and a month away from discovering that there were computers in the world that were permanently connected across vast distances (didn't require modems and dialing up over phone lines). That first

If you're marking used letters in a mask, why sort first?
26.
by Oxryly 16y ago
Yeah, the registers will only be faster than manipulating some sort of bool array. Reading the original string (with associated cache stalls) will certainly be necessary.
27.
by Oxryly 16y ago
Early termination is the biggest advantage of the array version. The 32-bit mask is probably the fastest possibility since it will reside in a register.

by Oxryly 16y ago
I was assuming a 26 letter alphabet. At that point the shifting, anding and comparing would take place in registers.

by Oxryly 16y ago
Yeah, I don't get the interest in this answer. It's neat-but-useless.

by Oxryly 16y ago
Even faster is to fill a 32-bit mask with "seen" characters for each string. AND them together and compare result to the mask from the second string.
