When I started reading this article I figured he was going to deliver a lesson on when it's better to fall back to less efficient algorithms when you can be sure of a small n. Territory that's been covered before, sure, but also a topic wit

'Canadian dollar outvalues American' was a much more eye-grabbing title. This is the tidbit people care about. The intraday high was US$1.0008. By anyone's measure, actually Wall Street's, which is the only one that matters, the Canadian do

Pleasant article. It's easy to relate to the feeling of wonderment the non-programmers have, since, in a sense, on our first big project we're all non-programmers. I wish I could generate the amount of code I used to in those days. The prob
