Hey, I'm the original author of the repo -- I noticed a bunch of stars coming in and figured it was coming from Hacker News, heh. I should probably go and make it clearer in the README, but you're right, by no means is it a full E

Oh wow, earlier this year, a few friends and I built a proof-of-concept of emotion-targetted content delivery in news feeds for a hackathon [1], as a way of warning people that this was plausible. Pretty wild to find out that Facebook actua

I wrote the original Homebrew formula for exa and remembered adding support for the Git-less install, so I was surprised to see it wasn't there anymore! Seems like it was removed in this version bump [1] — I'll open a PR adding it

Note that this video is of SethBling pulling off the credits warp for the very first time, when the current setup for the warp was unknown. Here is a video of Seth performing the warp that was explained in the posted video, which is faster

It's amusing to watch repositories being added in real-time. I'm a fan of the Lucky (777) and Mark of the Beast (666) hash-related achievements.

UBC's introductory CS course (CPSC 110) uses HtDP/2e as its "textbook". Given the progress that the majority of students make throughout the term, I think it's quite successful in terms of teaching the fundamentals,

Thanks for continuing development on Skeleton! My current blog design is largely based on Skeleton 1.x, but it looks like I'll be updating it this week.

It's a visual representation of the most optimal tic-tac-toe strategy based on a given game state. Assume you're playing as X, who goes first. The largest X in the whole figure is in the top-left, indicating that that's X&#x2

Greg's blog is what inspired me to use Pelican. I'm currently using Travis CI to automatically build and push changes made to files in the source branch to the GitHub Pages branch (see this post [1] for further details). [1]: htt

Awesome, thanks for updating Local Euler! It was unbelievably useful that there were already text-only versions of lots of the puzzles when I started putting together EulerPy. I'll work on adding the rest of them in.

In retrospect, I probably should have contacted you before using Local Euler in this project. Hopefully you don't mind.

Thanks for the kind words. It's fantastic to see people making use of my project!

It would definitely be cool to implement a `--hint` function to complement `--cheat`. However, in order to do so, I would need to find a resource that contained said hints on a per-problem basis. Alternatively, if there is a generalized lis

Hmm, I'll have to keep this in mind when I get to adding problems like this. Time to convert GeoGebra images to ASCII art /s!

Ah, I like this idea. I'll look into implementing it. Edit: I just realized that implementing encryption with respect to the problem answers would imply removing the `--cheat` option. I've started a discussion [1] in the repositor

The solutions that are stored in the package are only plain answers - not actual algorithmic solutions to each of the problems. I understand the concern, but in my opinion, if someone had a collection of solutions that were derived specific

Good point; I'll keep this solution in mind.

by Pewqazz 12y ago
I considered this, and figured since the solutions are stored by the program anyways, it would make more sense to include the functionality rather than to omit it. Naming the option `--cheat` was an conscious decision to discourage a relian

Oh wow, didn't think this would get posted to Hacker News. I only submitted a link to /r/learnprogramming and /r/Python since, being my first ever Python project, it seems pretty rudimentary compared to some of the
