Interestingly, the much hated font Comic Sans is another good font for dyslexics because the letters look more different from each other than e.g. Times New Roman. Therefore, if you're making invitations to your son's 7-year old birthday, C

As this is a DFA, I wonder if it is possible to create a NFA via macros. One way would obviously be to turn the NFA into the DFA at compile-time, and then apply the DFA-macro, but that may possibly kill efficiency. Is it possible to do with

I haven't used Paper.js, but I've used Raphaël and the main differences I see right now is that Paper uses Canvas, while Raphaël simulates/uses SVG. As a result, Paper should be more practical for making dynamic content that uses user input

It's an interesting list, but I do believe it lacks a lot of computer-specific things which I personally think people should do. For example - Build your own computer - Build your own (small) operative system - Build your own progra

Same in Norway, and I assume this is how these signs are used throughout the Nordic countries. "Severdighet" could also be roughly translated into "tourist attractions", as they are mostly used for that. http://i.imgur.com/0jdn2.jpg

I'm curious: If you add a new axiom in order to make a undecidable proposition decidable, will this new axiom add more than one undecidable proposition, or is the number of new undecidable propositions unknown? Or are there infinitely undec

You could always download earlier topcoder-contests ( http://www.topcoder.com ), specifically single round matches for algorithms. They have a time limit on 75 minutes for 3 exercises, and should keep you busy for roughly that amount of tim

I have to disagree, and I could actually use Boyer-Moore as an example on this: Split the string you're searching into four roughly equal pieces, with an overlap so that potential matches is guaranteed to be found. Then do a Boyer-Moore on

Oh, I am by no means against explicit naming. I'm just recommending people to read chapter 14 of On Lisp if they find if-let and when-let good macros they use often.

by JeanPierre 16y ago
PG has written about if-let, when-let, while-let and the likes in On Lisp , but calls them anaphoric macros instead. They are basically the same macros, but without the use of bindings (more brevity). You should take a look at it if you're

This function would be good if you know that all other integers are in the array once . However, this isn't elaborated within the question. A perfectly legal array with the restrictions we've been given is this: [1, 3, 3, 9, 42] All

How to combine them is poorly defined and complex. The loop clauses by themselves is not the problem.

Seeing how this guy comments about loop, be a little careful when using it. There is no formal standard on how to implement loop, so what you write might result in different answers depending on what Common Lisp implementation you use. Eval

I disagree to some extent. Sure, some people would overarchitect because culture says so, but I think the more important thing is that Java doesn't give the developer "other choices". If you, for example, make the factorial function in Pyth

Something interesting to note is that this would've been extremely much harder to do in 2000. Small companies and one-man teams would have a hard time publishing games and gain enough ground to stand a chance against the giants at that time

I can see "Leap from PHP to Django" as a success, as that has a wider audience than the two others. "Django deployment best practices" sounds like a list of items to check or not check (Have I done Y? Check/Uncheck) , so I would personally
