Fake answer: because O(log(fib(n))) conveys more information as to how the algorithm works. Real answer: because I didn't realize that it's equivalent to O(n).

In the same vein, there's also an O(log(fib(n))) recursive algorithm: fib :: Integer -> Integer fib 0 = 0 fib 1 = 1 fib 2 = 1 fib n = case n `quotRem` 2 of -- if n = 2*m (m,0) -> (fib (m+1))^2 -

Even if the person meant "median", the author's sentence is still ambiguous: It is definitely possible that 70% of _college students_ are "above median" at multitasking than the _general population_.

You don't need RAII to manage non-memory resources. All you need are first class functions.

I'd rather have the ability to choose between and freely mix significant whitespace and significant semi-colons within a single source file.

Let's not forget that GNU/Linux is intended to run on any damn machine you throw at it, while the latest version of OSX is only intended to run on Apple hardware that is no more than 3 years old. It's amazing that Ubuntu is even competitiv

This is a horrible idea.

Nope, you just need lots of cash.

I wouldn't call that computationally efficient. It is possible to make routing an O(log n) operation; your routing solution, like all routers that use regexes directly, is O(n).

On the contrary I suggest either Intel or ATI graphics because unlike nVidia, Intel and ATI actually contribute to their open source drivers.

I'm getting entirely different results with Python 3.2: % python -m timeit "[ x**3 for x in range(10000) ]" 100 loops, best of 3: 7.85 msec per loop % python -m timeit "map(lambda x: x**3, range(10000))" 1000000 loops, bes

Does the person not use syntax highlighting? A missing <?php tag would cause the PHP code to be highlighted as HTML code which would look very strange to anyone who has edited a PHP file with a syntax-highlighting-enabled editor.

Have you any citations to back up that statement?

I've created an AUR package for this script, found here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46675

Oh, that's right. 'to sitename' becomes 'cd ~/Sites/ sitename' which is not what you want. My apologies.

by orlandu63 16y ago
I would suggest mapping an alias instead of creating a function so that you will still be able to take advantage of parameter completion: > alias to='cd ~/Sites/'

There also exists the ControlMaster configuration option which treats multiple sessions to the same host as a single connection. With this enabled, you only have to enter your SSH passphrase once per host. Aside from the convenience of not

Pre-made meals aren't intrinsically bad for you; it's the preservatives and other questionable ingredients (and quantity of) that the manufacturers may add that is detrimental to your health.

A monad is an abstraction for composing functions that return values with a context by defining how to compose that context. That's it.

Have you taken a look at mpd and its accompanying CLI frontends? Tunneling X applications over SSH isn't popular because there's almost always a CLI application that accomplishes the same thing.

Vim _can_ be extended through other languages, namely Python and Ruby.

Yes, construct your tables with the MEMORY storage engine.
