He said the shortest implementation, not the shortest execution. I think he meant that the easiest solver to "code" is to just remember the scramble and reverse it. You can see from the videos that it is not doing that though. The

Yes, I think this is the biggest issue. Since many websites are funded by advertising, they do not want people to be able to extract data from their pages, they want people to "visit" the site and view the ads. Also, rights. Peopl

When I read this I thought, what is n? You mean pi, right? Yes, 18.3 inch wheel is what I got. Here in the UK, the "wheel" size includes the tire as well, I think. I guess if the rim is 17 inch diameter then 18.3 is only a tire wi

The wheels must have been a little bigger than 17 inches, since (62/12) * (62/12) * 17 = 453.8 Massive gear. I wonder if anyone could get that moving from a standing start. A huge 1km TT rider maybe?

Some? Probably most. A project I worked on produced a "here is what we have just started doing" paper in year 1, then a "we have some more results" paper in year 2, and two slightly different "here is what we ended

People take bags onboard to avoid fees, yes, but mostly because airlines lose hold luggage (or send it to the wrong place) and even if they don't you have to go and wait for it at the carousel. The last flight I took, there were too ma

I presume you mean "never the case for many people". As in "most people never left their PC on 24/7". That may well be true. I used to run a couple of minecraft servers for my kids. Judging by how amazing their frie

Why would you be sure of that? As it happens, I have a TV and watch it every day. In fact, research (in the UK) suggests that people who use phones less are more likely to watch TV than people who use them a lot. It wasn't my intention

I am sad to hear that this is still going on. I got my PhD 25 years ago and it was the norm then. Postgrads were used as IT support as well as teaching assistants and anything else going. At least I knew this when I started. And it motivate

My phone is on and with me for less than 50% of the time. Just saying; phones are not as important to everyone as you think. (yes, I am over 40)

Does tolower() or toupper() even make sense with general unicode characters? I wouldn't expect it to... but I've never really thought about it before :-)

Presumably there is a different "name taker" each time. So if you "cheat" when you are "it" then next time you will get some comeback.

I'm confused. Do you mean you fast for 12 hours on each of Monday, Wednesday and Friday, totalling 36 hours? Or you fast for 36 hours starting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday... which would be all of Monday and half of Tuesday etc?

They are parasites because they actively make it hard for people to find jobs adverts directly, by flooding job sites with their own adverts. In the age of Google it should be relatively easy to search for job ads in a particualr area. But

No, it is still there. I use it because I am only on Facebook for one group. By having no "friends" I can look at the group without the clutter and no "friend requests". And, since the group are moving to a WhatsApp grou

The BBC was forced to scale back its website(s) because of complaints by the private sector that it was unfair competition. For example, https://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2013/news/bbc-is-unfair-c... They argued

Or 26 in the quarter turn metric http://www.cube20.org/qtm/ which is probably what matters for a robot, since 180 degree turns take longer than 90 degree turns?
