I also love ido and I was made curious by your comment. Just found this. The top answer, unfortunately, is not really of ido quality and doesn't provide the same near-magical feeling: it only seems to do contiguous-substring matching.

I think that you are missing out on a whole lot more than evil-mode. Of the packages I use and love, most of these were written in the late 2000s or this decade and are still actively being changed. The consensus among those who would know

Simplicity. As a consumer of your API I should not have to do anything I don't need to. The worst thing is when you have to jump through hoops to deal with an API that was clearly designed for the implementer's convenience, not yo

I don't deny that doping still goes on, but people are forced to resort to less effective means than they used to. Take the example of Rashid Ramzi--it is likely that he was not the only doper, just a more aggressive one. Why was he ca

Not really. EPO testing is now possible; it wasn't in the 1990s. That's why we saw dramatic increases in performance on the track in the 1990s. The real reason is more financial: see the graph of prize money referenced in the arti

You'd want to version-control your entire .vim/ directory, not just .vimrc. (Presumably .vim is where this stores plugins.)

In related news, reddit is now introducing a karma floor of sorts; they recently announced that though negative karma would still accrue without limit, negative karma below -100 would just be displayed as -100.

Also, what about ease of retrieval? If the can's cylindrical, instead of cuboid, it's easier to retrieve every bit of a thick soup that doesn't drop out of the can.

It might be useful, from a language-evangelism point of view, to show how much of this Go doesn't do. This isn't to criticize Go--but I have gotten the impression (perhaps wrongly) that these languages are competitors.

Total tangent, but it occurs to me that if all you want is the minimum item, you maybe don't even need a minheap. You can just keep a single item--the smallest--and replace the operation of adding to the array with the operation of com

If your device is charged you can prove it actually works; if it's not, you can say "Well, it works, but it happens not to be charged--that's why it isn't doing anything." Presumably the idea is that techniques used

More than that, 4chan is a source upstream of other communities you mentioned. Content gets filtered and sifted, and some gets passed on. For example, Rickrolling became a major phenomenon that way.

I'm also out of love with python for similar reasons, but please note that map is lazy in python 3. >>> map(lambda x: x*2, range(100000000000000000000)) <map object at 0x104792240>

FYI, your URLs seem to be encoded incorrectly (perhaps missing a decodeURIComponent somewhere, or incorrectly calling encodeURIComponent). Are you sure Amazon pays when it's in that format?

It's actually explainable, I think! Assume stars are distributed roughly evenly in space. This is not true about the overall universe, they're clumped in galaxies, but fine for the dataset we're explaining, which maxes out at
