Yes, in the passenger version you can't even stand up. You would probably have a huge interactive flat screen in front of you to ease the tension.

If we assume they want to hold objects with a size of half a centimeter, a quick calculation shows they are using a sound frequency of 68000Hz. -> 340m/s / 0.005m = 68000Hz. If we limit the frequency to above human hearing rang

Computer technology covers both software and hardware, and in the latter binary arithmetic must be mastered. For others it is good to understand the fundamentals so in that 0.01 percent of cases you know what are you doing. A general CS cla

Code in the question is a bad test example. As the answer shows, different compilers can optimize the code in different ways to make the outer loop almost meaningless. A better test would have 100000 different arrays to test. Did you enable

What a great comment from a longtime member of HN. Not only did you make a wonderful example of name-calling and an ad-hominem argument in a single sentence, you also failed to dispute the central argument which was that time is lost while

You are informed that the machine is not to be trusted. From then on proceed depending on how secure your data is.

The point of assert is to check your code has values within your required parameters, so you the code is easier to debug while coding. Asserts should never be left in your code compiled for release. Even c library assert is aware of that, a

Why are agreeing with OP on rule #3 and then saying it is lunatic? Did I miss something? Quote: Better Rule: Use whatever comparison operator is easiest to read in a given situation. One of the very best things any embedded programmer can d

Completely agree with no. 5. After a year with C I realized that macros are only to be used as control structures for headers and ifdefs to enable compatibility. If you need macros to hack C to enable some functionality not inherent to the

Welcome to HN. I was referring to OPs algorithm which was bogo-bogosort. At first I though my change would not increase the complexity, but I think it is dependent on size of input since for every recursion there is a chance to fail and sta

I didn't explain that( was edited ), of course you start at with n at 1,2,3... and so forth. But you can decide when to stop, and so I made two cases. Anyway; you gave me a good exercise to practice on. Thanks.

My explanation is not to be understood easily( that doesn't mean it is very clear( or good ) ). Your best bet here would probably be to study big-o notation(+math, function limits) and think of the solution for yourself( there definite

No, since the complexity of bogosort with sleep is still O(n!), while the algorithm from OP has a higher bound.

by deletes 13y ago
O(n!/2) == O(n!), the whole paragraph is obviously referring to big o notation. edit:( I have edited the post to respond to your comment, trying to clarify what OP meant; I in no way tried to make your comment "look silly" )

My addition to the algorithm: Every time your check if arrays is sorted and it isn't, start from the very beginning throwing away all progress made so far. I doubt this way n == 6 would finish in some normal time period.

Doesn't Java still require an instalation of JRE, which is an analogue to .NET? edit: If it somehow didn't need it, I would start considering it as my next language to learn.

How do you prevent rotation of the magnets when they are stuck together. The light on a bike will experience a force in that direction sooner or later and move. When I saw the dimple I though that was the solution, but it is only a marker f

Real life Bespin does sound tempting. I don't see how a leak in Venus differs much from one on Mars. A leak won't immediately exhaust the air, in the worst case( neglecting explosion, and a leak is always confined with sections( a

At current technology level Mars seems an easier option. The problem with Venus is an atmosphere containing sulfuric acid and winds reaching 300 km/h, where failure results in a descent to an approximation of hell.

Note the OP often mentions that the algorithm doesn't work for lenght == 1, which is unacceptable for a general library function. I didn't read every update of the code but it looks like it is written in c only. Critical code is u
