It seemed obvious to me that you would trim it if it became larger because the most it asks for is the count of a single day. However, now that I think about it increment() could called multiple times during a single nanosecond, in which ca

Well to be pedantic it will grow, at worst, to (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000000000), if you are calling increment() every individual nanosecond. Though you are right that it is ignoring realistic memory issues. I was approaching it more as a thought

A few hours ago when reading the article I was also intrigued by the question and journeyed down a similar path regarding the moving window and the trade-offs. After toying with a couple of improper solutions I came to a very similar conclu

The United States, despite what it may now be, has a historical foundation as the "beacon of democracy". The seeds of philosophies from antiquity and the enlightenment took root in the founding of the country, and the United State

While it is nice to have, datalists are currently lacking in common functionality and are no real substitute for fully featured autocompletes. For example, datalist only matches the beginning of the values. Typing "soft" into a datalist wi

It's not about "evangelizing atheism", it's about evangelizing knowledge. If someone in their community died, perform an autopsy to determine the actual cause of death and banish the specters of ignorance surrounding it. Create schools, enc

While I have many complaints about Diablo III, I was never afraid of Blizzard shutting down the servers, and that definitely factored into my purchasing decision. As you note, they have been running the Diablo II and Starcraft servers for

Note that the article is considering fruits and vegetables, while I would argue that they should be considering staples such as potatoes, beans, and rice. Staples which are cheap, feed a significant portion of the world, and are easy to pre

Buying a large bag of rice and large bag of beans once every two weeks isn't a big problem. Those dry foods have a huge shelf life and are cheap. I didn't say they need to eat fresh baby spinach and kale every day.

It doesn't have that connotation, "barely legal" implies "fully legal".

What about extending the prime years of scientists, engineers, etc? More years of experience and wisdom to capitalize on and to reinvest their skills and knowledge into human progress. I for one would prefer that many of the brightest candl

Consider it from the disease's perspective. Ebola doesn't 'target' humans. Ebola's obvious symptoms and mortality rate in humans limit its ability to spread efficiently. The flu virus or cold virus has been far more successful in penetratin

Two variables of risk that factor into a criminal's decision: 1) Is the house occupied? 2) Are the occupants armed? Providing an answer to the second question only helps the criminal by letting them know that they can perform an armed robbe

Why hasn't Britain adopted some sort of free speech law in the spirit of the US's first amendment? They've had over two hundred years to do so. Can anyone provide insight into why?

Someone throwing some quotes into a reddit-esque nostalgia post and topping it off with his name in size 40 font hardly qualifies as an article. When I first saw the title I was hoping for something along the lines of the recent Starcraft a
