I ran into this a few years back. In a gawk program, I had to build a 300,000,000 character string by concatenating about 10,000,000 32-character strings. My naive code of doing 10,000,000 "a = a+str" took forever. I finally did s

Have you actually tried to see map info on a watch while riding? I have tried while driving on my Pebble, and it does not work for me at all. The display is too small to see anything useful and the amount of time needed to comprehend what i

Feynman didn't have to. That was a very good story that was told very well. I now have a low opinion of you.

Heck, short awk programs are often written as one-liners that are invoked from the command line. I sometimes do this, but use a program file ("-f hithere.awk") for anything beyond semi-trivial. And I always use "--lint"

Three things which I like: dance (my favorites are west coast swing, waltz, foxtrot, and salsa), poetry (even if you don't write, go to readings), and improv. Lessons are important both for learning and becoming part of a group.

If you are trying to prove (formally or informally) that a program is correct, loop invariants allow you to prove that loops do what you want. Contrapositively, if you can't write a loop invariant, you probably do not really understan

It's going to get so expensive and aggravating that killing people with extreme Alzheimer's will be allowed, or even encouraged. Don't say never until you have had to take care of one.
