Minor correction - the method the paper describes to 'dump' the table is a bit different. It sounds like you're proposing that they iterate through all possible keys, check if the key is in the table, and if it is, dump that

Another good test case for things like this is "Take 5", or any other song with a non-4/4 signature. The chords seem ok, but the beats are just off. On the other hand, Cake's "Sad Songs and Waltzes", with a ver

You might be interested in 'General Game Playing'. The idea is that players are presented with a machine-readable description of game rules (in a prolog-like locigal language), and they then play the game. Since you can't use

In my opinion, it's a somewhat misleading question (or the answer is creative to the point of stretching definitions). In-order traversal is pretty easy without a stack, if every node keeps track of its parent. 1. go down left branche

In addition to what other commenters have said - man pages are nice references, but in a lot of cases they seem to be kind of obtuse. They'll have a short technically correct description of every individual flag, but not really what yo

There is one open-source project that manages synchronizing a fitbit to their service. Apparently, one used to be able to get data from listening to this communication, but they now encrypt all data coming off of the device. I got a Jawbone

A few thoughts 1) even if a basic income disproportionately helps the otherwise low-income part of society, it seems more "fair". Instead of calling it welfare or charity, with the implication that those who receive it are living

The server binary can be downloaded, for free, here ( https://minecraft.net/download ). However, as far as I'm aware, the actual code is not available. If and when it is available, it won't be under a free license.

I agree entirely. I attribute the lack of scancode usage in keybindings to the laziness and depravity of the young generation ;) Actually, Javascript is a little weird with regard to scancodes. Try playing with http://javascript.

You're pretty much correct. True regular expressions don't have the expressive power to decide whether arbitrary-length strings are or aren't palindromes. That said, 'regular expressions', as used in most programmin
