There is a trade off even in the paper that was linked. You have to disallow distances (d) that are too large when the words are small. If you have an array of words that are within distance 3 of a 3 letter word and you have many 3 letter w

The automata is incredibly slow, though it's also incredibly cool. I implemented a trie that allows for Levenshtein distance queries here github.com/jamra/LevenshteinTrie That was just a fun project, not something I optimized

I think we should do a research project on comments like mine that get initially downvoted, but then receive statements like yours clarifying the authenticity of the original comment. I have more upvotes on this comment than on most of my o

Some people don't have great options about where they work. I personally would not move close to downtown LA if I worked there. I'm more comfortable in a safe suburb, but the good jobs are in Santa Monica. At one point, I drove ab

Ok so lets focus on the act of breaking in, though there was no financial loss. Lets ignore the fact that he could have obtained everything without "breaking in" if he did so at Stanford. It's clear to me that in Aaron's

Burglary is theft of valuables. What was stolen? Data was copied, not erased. The moral ownership of that data is by the many authors who were never reimbursed. JSTOR is a scam.

You really are speaking ill of the dead. Calling him a self-promoter and a loose cannon isn't appropriate. As far as the MIT incident... I don't really think he burglarized MIT. He tried to bring documents that were hidden behind

Why stop there? We have enough money in LA to build a metro on or around the 101 and 405. We don't need five lanes if we reduce the cars on the road.

You're right. I don't think the non Los Angeleans really understand the layout of LA. It's not a city like NY is a city. Politics are stopping us from developing better public transportation options. Blaming people for trying

I've lived in LA for 27 years. The problem here is not the design of the city's grid. The problem is the lack of public transportation. The city is not a city like Chicago or New York is a city. LA is a bunch of suburbs dispersed

So the statement is to stop cut through traffic in stead of fixing the broken LA system. How about we offer acceptable public transportation alternatives such as a proper metro and more frequent busses?

Sticky sessions usually work by IP address. They route requests from the same IP address to the same server. Nginx+ claims it does so (I didn't purchase it). HAProxy can be configured to use sticky sessions.

I recently tried to automate windows machines as well. You are spot on. Dealing with obscure objects requires you to make mock calls and try and reflect on the underlying types. With bash, you don't have types, just text, which allows

I think with Azure, you can log into your Azure instance and then send commands. I recently tried to set up automated deployments for our non-Azure infrastructure and investigated bringing things to Azure. It's not the same as SSH, but

It looks to me that they are thinking about some sort of use case that was popular in a management meeting in an attempt to make a browser that does something different than the others. Unfortunately, this forces the dev team to implement a

But Silverlight has been retired. The original plan was for WPF to be separated into the Windows part and the web part. The web part failed miserably. It was yet another attempt to make a Microsoft only solution for a common problem.

IE lagged behind other browsers. It did not implement the open standards that the others did. That has nothing to do with developers not liking IE. It has everything to do with how Microsoft had a monopoly on the browser market.

You are absolutely correct. To borrow form another's comment, https://play.golang.org/p/VOUJI88PNj The slice, however, is a small structure to pass to a function in that you are not performing a copy of each indiv

Not just a nit. You are right. I wrote my comment in haste. Had to take someone to the airport. I think the essence of my point still stands in that the example the author provides is very shallow and hardly something that stops you from wr

I'm sorry you lost me after your outrageous claim that one must learn everything about the standard types of Go before one can program effectively. You should know about how your types are passed around if you are using any language. T

You may be able to build something using https://blog.golang.org/playground I believe you can modify the playground and add some kind of unit testing to test submissions.

So when your browser doesn't work on modern web sites that make up 90% of what people visit, people will site "broken compatibility" and then move to Chrome or Firefox. You'll then reiterate your focus on the few outdate

The argument I'm trying to make is that if someone compromises SSNs, which are used to authorize patients, it's very likely that they have also compromised MRN since MRN is what most healthcare applications use internally as the i

I would bet that they store SSN and MRN in the same table. Since the personally identifiable information (patient demographics) is the foreign key for the patient data, it seems likely that everything is compromised. One way to have not all
