Off the top of my head: 1) Assuming rand(x,y) gives a uniform distribution between x and y: for (int a = 0; a < INT_MAX; a += rand(-1,1)); 2) I can't find the source any more, but someone basically implemented a big int library

In LP, you can tell it that your variables must be greater than or less than certain values, so my intention was to keep each nutrient between the recommended minimums and maximums.

To be honest, I don't remember... I think I was using a Linux command-line LP solver.

I've tried to make a meal planner that used linear programming to ensure that I got all of the needed nutrients and minimized calories, but it didn't work out. It really liked to suggest moose meat and some insanely healthful fruit from Arg

Also, what's the enforceability of a TOS that disallows actions that would otherwise be legal? There are 4 standard forms of IP protection that would prevent people from using your work: copyright, trademark, patents, and trade secrets. The

I'm not sure how it works in the US, but in Canada, you can't copyright raw data. (ie: data that has no creative value) So it's legal to, for instance, "scrape" the contents of a phone book into another format. If I understand correctly, Pa

Git has benefits over Subversion besides the crazy commit graphs. I'm not sure there's really any reason to be using SVN when you could be using Git in the exact same style, and have the benefit of offline access to the repository. Actually

Given that there are individual ideas that require more than one word to express, including adjective phrases makes sense. I was actually impressed by their inclusion. I did notice a false positive though: "integrity.While" I hadn't heard

I searched for "epic", and one of the suggestions was "epic-as-fuck". I'm curious about how this phrase was selected as an adjective. What sort of rules do you use to find adjective phrases? On a side note: is "fuck" very epic, or not very

How about this for functional programming in C? https://github.com/cioc/functionalC It's got some of your primitives (map and filter but no fold, but I'm assuming that it's just a matter of getting bored before implementing it) and closur

If you're using something like Orcad or Altium, you don't own that software either; you're paying for a license to use it.

In "NES Open", you earned money depending on how you placed. So, given long enough jumps back in time, there is a way to track an increasing score. Either way though, I think the results would be sub-par .

I think you're getting even further away from open source. If this tool could connect to a remote repo (like the GitHub repo) and operate on the changelog, then you'd be fine. No one would be able to use it privately without publicly exposi

Free and open source software is awesome. However, if you spend all of your time build great tools that you give away for free, then how are you supposed to pay your rent and eat? I know, there are plenty of open source projects that make m

Showing the code is not the same as open source. I get that you were joking, but it's a critical distinction. Unless otherwise stated, you should not assume that you have a license to use whatever code you find floating around on the Intern

In my experience, the math courses tend to get easier later on for a variety of reasons: 1) You learn simplifying techniques. (you'll learn to love the Laplace transform) 2) You get better at studying. I also failed my first (and second) ca

From what I gathered from a quick look at Wikipedia, probably the biggest factor is that diesel engines are best used for high-torque, low-speed applications.
