Just for the record, there is an open source alternative to matlab: http://www.scilab.org/en Sure there is octave, but scilab is more a matlab like (although the gui is not as polished as matlab's)

[Java is the second most popular language overall](http://langpop.com/#normalized), despite what reddit may make you think. In fact, [reddit would make you think python is the most popular language ever made](http://langpop.com/#reddit). Believe it or not, some people (myself included) actually *like* Java and take no...

Idea for doing this in ruby and rails. override hash assignment to put all hashes into a session variable. That is, proxy any hash assignment to instead enter itself into an equivalent session variable. Proceed to store most (or at least some) of your normal working variables in some hash variables, using the idiomati...

From the IRC chat : [19:16] <@contestbot> Launch ETA 4 hours, 43 minutes, and 4 seconds Then you will be able to register and upload your bot. But, until then , as Dazzer said, you can start playing with it. Also, the contest estimate end is approx. 2 months. Good luck!

I started out the same way, but now, 10 years down the road, I'm more productive and don't even miss any of the features I grew up relying on in IDEs. We all have different experiences. If Vi doesn't work out, that's okay. There are other options.

Determining the position of an element in an array of `T` is typically done with a pointer subtraction and a division by `sizeof(T)`. Not too common, but common enough.

No. It really isn't. To compare it to SQL injection, it's like limiting the user to SELECT operations with a particular VIEW, both of which are the only things in the environment. The environment containing all the, and only the commands and data that may be accessed.

Criticizing Excel 2000 for its lack of mature support for scripting back when its competition had... actually, I can't even tell if Lotus 1-2-3 supports scripting *today*. I'm pretty sure anything dating back to 2000 is no longer considered a Microsoft "Best Practice" seeing as how they don't support it anymore.

The semantic type of the result was never in question, and it's completely irrelevant. That two expressions have the same type in no way implies that they have the same value (or even that using them in similar ways is well-defined). And please don't go confusing value (in the context of C) with bit-pattern.

The question posed is, "How can she negotiate an exchange rate?" Showing how to get 50-50 odds out of these coins is only one step in that process. I would say that even if Lauren can demonstrate how to use multiple flips, these coins still probably aren't worth as much as "fair" coins because they are less convenient ...

Division by `sizeof` is a special case that's usually implemented differently. The dividend is a multiple of the divisor, so we can use group theory magic: the multiplicative inverse in `mod` 2^`w` coincides with integer division here. So, factor the divisor `s` in a power of two, 2^p , and another divisor, `d`, that...

There is more to it than that. A good hash should have an unbiased, well-distributed oupt, even if the input is biased. Thus, hashing helps remove bias.

It's the main reason I'm hoping for a real port of chrome to android. I wasn't very impressed with native client until I saw scumm working on it. It's not so much the simple nature of porting it to a new platform. But, rather, the fact that it's porting with distributed multi-computer setups as the norm. I love the ide...

I deleted my comment because I thought that it didn't add anything of value to the discussion. I didn't think that anyone had any time to reply to it. Now I kind of feel like a dick. :-/ This was the comment: >So, Matlab became popular for the same reason that PHP became popular?

I use Matlab every day, on a huge codebase, and I feel confident in saying that while you can develop a "large" application in any language, I personally would pick Python well before Matlab.

Ever use the MATLAB "compiler"?

So, you're conceding that as rvalues, `*p` and `(int*) p` have the same type and the same bit pattern, yet you also maintain that these rvalues are different…? (And presumably also standing by your earlier claim that these rvalues are “not equivalent in any significant fashion”?)
