Changed to a darker purple. You're right, it was pretty jarring.

I coded up the easiest version of each algorithm, rather than the most efficient. (Quicksort uses the first element as a pivot, rather than something more intelligent) Feel free to email me an algorithm if you think it should be there/is

I don't know much about reading films, but I do know something about AI, and this kind of direct data->solution problem with an enormous existing data set is just about as easy as AI problems get. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we a

Hey slate.com - when I visit an article on my phone, its because I want to read it, not see your mobile homepage. Thanks!

Click the icon to the left of the board name, and then preferences in the drop down. You can set text to appear on the colored labels there.

We just strip out whitespace. Nothing fancy.

Voting and commenting on public boards can be allowed for everyone, restricted to members, or turned off. We chose to leave it on because we like the aspect of simple, quick feedback on where things are going.

We do. Its hard to list every framework/library in there, so they're not all mentioned. Look for a future technical blog post that goes into more detail on what we used.

We were in private beta until today, and changing that wording got missed. Public boards are, in fact, visible to anyone, regardless of whether they're logged in.

There are definitely plans for an API, but its not there yet.

You might be interested to know that we used Underscore.js pretty heavily, too.

Minimally for now - a FogBugz link in a comment will show a little kiwi icon on the front of the card, which you can click to follow that link. The planned API will likely lead to a plugin.

Re: Law #1; This is what the idea of a super user is supposed to help with, and not properly using that concept is part of the reason Windows has developed such a poor reputation for security. To some degree, a program run by a normal user

It does not state whether all 250 items must have unique codes. It also is not clear whether, in the questions, the guest chooses a random code (unlikely), a known item, or an item that is marked as being on the menu. The second question i

The second problem is not well-defined, so how long it takes has considerably more to do with how many possible interpretations you have to try before you get it right and how long it takes you to grok the grid scheme than how long it actua

Which is simultaneously anecdotal and proving the point. A statistic like 1/10 can so easily be an outlier - those aren't numbers you can use to prove a point. And 1/10 is somewhat (although not statistically significantly, given your sam

Maybe this isn't obvious, but its a webapp. While technically "download" is still appropriate, I suspect you misinterpreted how it works.

My best guess was that its a reference to the island in the tv show Lost, but I fail to see why that would be different from the gravity on earth.

Illegal? Starting a startup is demanding beyond any normal job. If discriminating based on things that will take time from work becomes illegal, the industry is done in the US and will move somewhere else. Investors have little enough in

Its completely reasonable to rule someone out for funding because they have a child (although the "woman" thing isn't completely fair). Anything that will take time from the startup will negatively impact the startup's chance, and when you

We're all aware that casting to an integer does truncation, not rounding. Right?

All he is serving is a redirect page. He's not offering a hosting package or anything like that. Charging per file size doesn't really make sense.
