In the case of Hamming distance there is much more information to work with than in a bare metric. You can dump all the bitstrings into a suffix array, break the query into K pieces and search for an exact match for each piece. The resultin

I've had much better luck with the 'Hiring Freelancers?' threads here than with any job board or recruiter service. For one thing it seems like people actually read posts rather than just looking for keywords.

For what it's worth, I haven't had any issues with Ubuntu in the last two years or so (HP Envy 15, Alienware M11x). Even things like docks with multiple monitors work smoothly.

What I find exciting is the increasing integration of Telepathy into Gnome apps. The idea is to enable easy networking for all applications so the user can just pick contacts out of their address book and never have to worry about ip addres

Using TECS to go from NAND gates to assembly is 4-6 evenings worth of work and totally worthwhile. I have a rough idea how compilers and operating systems work but until TECS everything below that was run by little laptop pixies.
