You wouldn't be able to compile it to asm.js because of the very different memory models, which means you wouldn't be able to take advantage of any alternative runtime paths the js runtime has for asm.js. You could, however, use t

Using Aho-Corasick [1] the runtime would be about O(n+k+) [1] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aho–Corasick_string_matching_...

An alternative could be that the impact of an upvote is inversly proportional to its position on the page. You'd probably have to combine it with other metrics like age.

My take on tone policing is it is a mechanism (whether conscious or unconscious) to tell people they shouldn't be as passionate and concerned about something as they are. As such, it's relative to the tone of the forum (be it HN,

You're correct, I didn't specify it well enough. Pick the node with the highest unassigned degree, connect it to the other unconnected nodes with the highest unassigned degrees (where unassigned degree is the difference betw

I just tried this and several times the highest degree was already connected with the lowest degree, so I either had to pick another highest degree node (if there was a tie), pick the next highest degree and connect it with the lowest degre

A greedy algorithm seems to be successful with the graphs in this game. Pick the node with the highest degree, connect it to the other nodes with the highest degrees, repeat.

Another option is to prefix searches. If I type "google " then start offering search suggestions. Chrome even has this, and a nice UX for it. It just unfortunately also has unprefixed searching.

OT if you're going to insist on double spacing HTML, use "&nbps; " and not "  " otherwise you'll have a ragged left margin like the OP.

Tangential observation: most implementations of quickselect to find the median I've seen use 6N comparisons in the average case; for an even length list they select the middle values using two independent quickselects. The code to do i

It's not a stretch to imagine the conversation went something along the lines of ""I would like to ask him about Bitcoin. This man is Satoshi Nakamoto, he created Bitcoin." and a little bit of creative license was taken

While I'm sure you'll be proven correct, I think it's a little premature to add LightTable into that list.

We use a mix of the built-in java dates and joda, depending on how old the code is. We have our own time library for some domain specific time code, which internally uses joda to handle dates.

Isn't the probability of c and d half that of a and b? If BG is the case, there's 100% chance he's talking about the first child. If BB is the case, there's a 50% chance he's talking about the first one, and a 50% c

Of course that's a much simpler way to simulate the problem, but then you get people trying to argue that HT and TH should be collapsed into a single state. By using a simulation with repetition it's easier to pose the states as &

The reason age was introduced was simply was a way of differentiating the two children (giving them identity). You introduced names to differentiate the two children, which is another perfectly good way to do it. But then you _also_ introdu
