Just going by the first section, I can anticipate a problem here. The last paragraph of the first section suggests that the problem of finding a Hamilton cycle is not in P because some cycles are maximal solutions without being a maximum

Note that this hasn't been updated in a while. For instance Norbert Blum's attempt from 2017 (now acknowledged as mistaken) is missing.

Claims of P != NP are pretty common; I wouldn't get so excited just yet...

I think the archaic English equivalent is "here", "there", "yonder"?

Does this output self-modifying code, or does it also try to avoid that like ABC does?

The comment you're replying to is about Todd Rogers, not Billy Mitchell.

Huh, why is it the new owner that people are complaining about? Total outsider, but it seems to me that if anything the place is finally cleaning up a bit.

What about it involves thinking of elements as bits and sets as whole numbers? I'm not seeing it. Everything you just described is just a physical representation of sets and operations on sets. I don't see any step where elemen

by Sniffnoy 9y ago
I mean this is really about set operations; thinking of it in terms of bits and integers doesn't really add anything.

No, Haskell's Int is a machine integer; if you want a bigint, you use Integer rather than Int.

But what about other projects? Back in the day there were multiple multi-protocol clients. Pidgin (or rather Gaim back then), Trillian, and others; now there's... maybe Franz, as cosmie mentions? Simply saying "Pidgin kind of

Huh, interesting. Its website isn't very informative though. I can't find a list of protocols, annoyingly.
984.
by Sniffnoy 9y ago
That hardly seems like much of an explanation. Look at the old protocols Pidgin and other clients of the time (e.g. Trillian) spoke -- AOL, MSN, Yahoo... those didn't run over HTTP. More importantly, the companies did respond by ch

Skype I know is infamously hard, but I'm wondering about the more general case -- are the problems there similar to the problems with Skype, or are they due to something else?

by Sniffnoy 9y ago
Is this system of "API keys" why Pidgin doesn't handle all these new IM protocols, and why there's no other good old-fashioned multi-protocol clients for them (that I'm aware of)?

The asterisk * is a glob. Since double-quotes allow variables inside to be dereferenced rather than always quoting everything literally, presumably he was expecting that double-quotes might still allow globs to work rather than causing the
