Cool! I had a lot of fun writing a solver in Haskell for a crossword like this a few months ago. Apologies for the self promotion but here's a link to the article I wrote about it http://almostobsolete.net/regex-crosswo

Lots of respect for replying to a pretty snarky comment and admitting that you were wrong with good humour, if everyone was like this internet comments would be a whole lot better :)

But wait, O(2n) and O(n) are the same aren't they? Eg both linear, constant factor doesn't make a difference to the time complexity. Or did you mean to write O(2^n) or something?

That would be really useful for some things. Quite a burden to put on the library implementors though!

This is what people often do apart from the last point (no undefined in JSON, and by definition anything you could choose here would conflict with valid values). This works well for a lot of use cases but can't express everything you m

But ECMAScript is a mouthful to say and sounds a bit like a skin condition, I don't think that's ever going to become the common name people use for it.

I don't think you could make a IP firewall that enforced read-only either, at least not in a general case.

It's the fact that you're using the same cable to charge and for data (which is also one of the things that makes USB really useful), now add that the devices tend to not to be hugely secure and to just trust whatever they've

Enabling for read-only in the general case simply wouldn't be possible. The device would have to know every USB protocol that could possibly be spoken and which commands are for reading and which for writing (and what to do with comman

You can get a certain amount of power from USB without a data connection but to get more (which higher powered devices need to charge quickly or, in some cases, at all) you need to send a data signal to request it. So cutting those wires so
