> set(User, function() { return {name: "John"}; }, silent: true); That's not even valid JavaScript, so I would not expect that. It is also somewhat standard that lambda-like operators eat as many tokens as possible. But I agree with

I think JulianWasTaken is hinting that your solution is exactly a recursive solution to generate all permutations (google "recursively generate permutations"). This is because any N-rook solution is just a reordering of the columns of the t

It's not better. But Angular tries not to step on your toes by starting to interpret onblur attributes differently from how they are defined by standards (as other's have said, blurCallback resolves to different things in your examples). As

You ask me to write an unbiased history essay for the last 5 years, which I'm neither qualified nor able to do. Haven't read these in detail, but the look ok on a quick glance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008%E2%80%932012_Icelandic_fin..

That's true, and definitely worth pointing out. I've used them a fair bit, and while they provide exellent power, they are slightly cumbersome to use compared to Python's pervasive "overloadability" (for the lack of a better word). But I wo

Both languages are very good. JavaScript has its kinks, but they are not hard to work around with library support or syntax translations (such as CoffeeScript). However, JavaScript's execution model is simple and doesn't provide as much val

That's a straw man argument. "Same, except for scale" alone does not make it a reasonable comparison.

MD5 is a no go, SHA-256 would at least be better. I will look at your sorce though. Bcrypt might be too heavy in plain JS if chrome doesn't offer it as a part of its api. But I agree, this should be a browser extension, not a website. Edit:

This works quite well: http://cenix.co.uk/im-feeling-lucky-google-chrome-shortcut/ I have it as a keyword "lucky" (type lucky and press tab to use it), but you can just as easily make it the default search.

The choice of font for the blog's body text doesn't lend the author any credibility on this topic. For what it's worth, I tried both syntax highlighted and not - and the former results in a measurable improvement in productivity. I believe

436.
by arnarbi 14y ago
Of course not. Such a spec would state what are its inputs and outputs, either as natural language descriptions or as types (say, if the reference language supports it). Everything outside that (e.g. timing) would be fair game to optimize.
437.
by arnarbi 14y ago
I do not agree that a spec has to be written in English. Like most natural languages, it is very easy to be ambiguous and to underspecify. Resolving this can make English just as human un-readable as anything else. Specs like this should be

Nice. I'm not sure though that the geometric distance between two RGB vectors is always a good measure of their perceived similarity. Converting to a device independent space and using a different metric could improve the results. See the f
