I might be wrong but that looks like O(n^2) in the worst case, namely when the input is some permutation of (a+k, a+2k,...,a+nk).

Yeah, but grandparent's claim is incorrect. Freebies aren't about compensating for overtime exemption. For what is worth I'm in Japan so YMMV but I think this generally applies anywhere: if you switch from overtime-exempt to

There was a post on HN on US internal migration patterns a while ago. IIRC migration rates have decreased, but it's a fairly recent phenomenon (as in 1990s not 1950s).

More power to you! But I hope you understand my point. The developed countries accept immigrants out of self-interest, not in order to help developing countries.

The high bar is there to ensure the system satisfies the "will they contribute to our economy" criterion. Sure, that results in immigrants being more qualified and having more earning potential than the average native citizen. Not

At that time, a lot of people (supporters or not) were under the impression that Trump was okay with legal immigration. The travel ban made it clear that's not the case (it affected legal immigrants). In fact, Bannon had spoken against

"we’ve decided to make a change" could easily be interpreted as "we've fired him". In any case, judging by the reactions to his tweet it looks like he can pick and choose his next job.

Student loans are largely subsidized. If you call that usury then you'll have to call any interest-bearing loans "usury". The main issue is why US tertiary tuition is so high in the first place. In fact, the virtually unlimit

Perhaps you meant "e.g." ("for example") and not "i.e." ("that is")? Because I'm pretty sure boarding costs aren't the only issue. I don't know about Australia, but tuition in Japan is

Canada has some advantages: English is an official language, it already has a legal and administrative system in place to receive qualified immigrants from almost everywhere, and a public that's favorable to it. AFAIK the only other de

The point that grandparent and ohhhwell are making is, nobody says "I came to Japan and now my salary is 100x my previous salary in nominal terms (ie, before you factor in the exchange rate that eats 99% of your salary)". But for

Maybe because they didn't know better? I was going to say "maybe they were bad programmers", but likely just "average" programmers. No punch cards or BCD, I'm talking about DOS/Windows systems.

Some people were. But it's worse than that. In the 90s a lot of code used 16-bit values, character strings. That is, it stored a char(2), parsed it as 2-digit number and then converted it to a date by adding 1900. So it was only really

Personally I think changing the volume dynamically like that would destroy the music. And there's a simpler solution to your problem: intra-ear monitors (IEMs).

For some values of "plausible"? I'm pretty sure pre-Colombian mayans and aztecs didn't consume animal milk, as they hadn't domesticated cows, sheeps or goats.
