As far as I know, grep uses Boyer-Moore for string matching when possible. Giving a variable char size encoding such as UTF8, plain Boyer-Moore isn't possible, but it is the asymptotically faster algorithm known. Hence even perfect versions

At first I thought this post and the whole blog were an awesome idea. It seems to describe really well what I was never able to put into words. How exactly did I get through school and my BSc/MSc with awesome grades while always having a fe

The first Danes that came to my mind were actually the Laudrup brothers. But I guess that proves the point of how biased one is. I am a German who grew up in the 90s. I gotta know football stars from my childhood. However, I'm unable to thi

Is the very first example really true? Would most people really take a dollar now over 10 dollars in a year? I wouldn't (except I need the money right now because otherwise I'd have to turn around, look for an ATM and come back later - whic

The cicles do not make sense to me. Minumum viable means the result of the lowest effort/functionality that leads to a viable product. Using overlapping circles just does not work at all, I'd say Using minimal without viable is somewhat st

I having a feeling I somehow unknowingly managed to spend a couple of awesome points at the age of 6-10 on getting a feeling for grading systems. Like many of my friends, I often had a feeling of unfair grades being given throughout all my

I really dislike the footnote [3]. I think he shouldn't argue that the remaining margin of error doesn't matter, but instead should argue that it happens less often. This is why safety critical systems are sometimes verified using model che

I do this and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone else. At least "real", "evil" spam mails. Clicking an unsubscribe link is a confirmation of your email address and will usually lead to more spam than less.

since there are only ascii chars in the whitelist you could just declare an array of size 256 (doesn't really matter if it's a bitvector or char array, int array or whatever) and replace in WHITELIST by return (CHAR_MAP_ARRAY[c] = 'y'

I assume the 16% are supposedf to mean 16% for distinct queries. The well-known queries and common typos are entered a lot more frequently - so a huge portion of those 16% may actually just be bored people googling for "fist-on-keyboard"

The example for inheritence I liked best was something like this: Number (implementing trivial exponentiation through multiplication) RealNumber & ComplexNumber implementing their specific kind of multiplication. Later on replace the ex
