He's an incompetent manager. There are suggestions and moments of characterization that suggest that he was a good salesman who was promoted above his abilities. He was not extremely successful.

I hear what you're saying, but it seems like this is potentially a problem only in cases where you are devoting significant resources to sorting. Like if sorting takes only 1% of your CPU time, worst-case input will only bump that to

They don't read to me as contradictory at all, though I have to say the second one you quote is kind of ambiguous as to what it's trying to say. They both seem compatible with the belief that in an industry with sexism problems,

In the US, marathon fundraising usually works pretty differently, in that the fundraising efforts are separate from the event itself. Anyone can enter the Chicago Marathon for $195 and can then choose to participate in whatever fundraising

The combinations (n choose k) tell you how many ways there are to take k things from n, and so count that subset of the power set. And since the sets of k things are obviously distinct from the sets of j != k things, there is no overlap.

Even the post-hoc analysis isn't invalid as a way of discovering potential avenues of future research. But you really have to run new experiments designed to test your new hypotheses.

There was that blow-up a few years ago when the AOL CEO basically blamed an employee with a sick baby for the company's unprofitability. (And maybe that overstates what happened, I'm sure you can find the details if you want)

Increased sizes lead to less effective use of instruction caches. Different use cases will be impacted differently by that, so it's worth profiling your particular application, at least until the size overhead comes down.

It's fairly common on boats to have exposed zinc whose only purpose is to be sacrificially electrolized (IIRC) to protect your steel or aluminum.

Not a Muslim, but my understanding is that it's a sun-up to sun-down fast. There's typically communal meals to break the fast. I think strictly observed there's also no water during the fast, which would seem to be a real c

The industry is pretty geographically fragmented. Beepi was apparently mainly in California, though they didn't seem to have much of a presence here in Socal. The competitors they mention in the article - Vroom and Shift - I've

As someone who has managed interns, this is exactly my take. It's easy to have wishlist items that you never get to. Things like this are ideal in that they are not time-sensitive, don't require a lot of additional knowledge to

> I believe localStorage behaves differently as well. My recollection is that the browser claims to support localStorage, but attempts to use it fail. I don't know why it couldn't just be backed by non-persistent storage.

Yeah, I get why it happens and I don't have any solutions, but it is another problem of Hollywood's own making.

It also seems like the Thoughtful Adult Movies get squeezed into December after 11 months of schlock. I don't get to the theaters much, but I went more in the past two months than the previous 10. And it's so depressing when you

When the switch was made to digital I was really surprised at the picture quality and the number of channels available with just rabbit ears, for free. This was in LA so it could definitely be different in less populated areas.

I'm sure you could spend a fortune and get a great French wine. But if you find yourself in Italy with just 5€ you can drink something really good.

In addition, the IAP can get you to a particular state faster but it doesn't really give you an advantage once you're there. So it's a fair fight between someone who's been grinding for a year vs someone who's been

This is true for the first few years, but aging batteries can cause problems. My phone is in a situation where under higher power draws (GPS + navigation) it will simply die when the battery falls to 25%. It's been doing this pretty
