Paul Howard "Dizzy" Trout (June 29, 1915 – February 28, 1972) was a Major League Baseball pitcher primarily for the Detroit Tigers. Born in Sandcut, Indiana, he first played professionally in 1935 with the Terre Haute Tots in the Three-I League before signing with Detroit in 1939.
Trout played for the Tigers for fourteen seasons, accompanying the team to two World Series, in 1940 and 1945.
== 1939–1942 ==
In his first four seasons (1939–1942), Dizzy Trout never had a winning record and totaled 33 wins and 44 losses. Even in 1940, as the Tigers won the American League pennant, Trout finished 3-7...
Introduction
For the ones who never heard of this game before. You are playing a ball which needs to survive as long as possible. This is done by moving to the left or right, going to the holes. Since the map moves upwards, you need to go downwards to survive longer. If you search for images, yo...
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Perl's regex flavor has some unique features that other flavors lack, such as recursive subpatterns. Also, a simple match in Perl populates a lot of variables (pre-match, post-match, matching index, etc.).
Laptop + Dell 30" is my main setup. Wife has a Dell 24" with her tower. We have two computers scavenged from older parts that have 20" monitors. Then the two 20" monitors that are sitting so when friends come over they don't also need to bring their monitors. Then the monitor that's attached to the server KVM. And the CRT monitor attached to the old 486 computer for playing old games. The 46" LCD monitor in the gym. The 60" plasma at the game console area. The 100" projector in the theater.
If I ever start running a server, it will be devoted to being a shortest string in BF lookup, by brute forcing all valid BF programs. Eventually, we'll be able to find the shortest Hello, World! If it has not yet been found.
In the US, master's degrees typically take 2 years, then PhD coursework takes another 2 years, then you do your research and dissertation. In many cases you lose departmental funding after 7 years in a PhD program.
At my university (law school) you can finish your B, M or even Ph.D. in as little time as you can manage. Last year we had someone who finished their Bachelor's in just under 2 years.
At the University of Washington, it takes 4 years for most bachelor's degrees, but you can do them in 2 if you have an associate's first (like I did) or 3 if you get special university permission to take over the allowed courseload every quarter.
More than 4 if you change majors (like I did, so I took just over 2 years)
Since I already did my practical part I'll be finished one year early (even earlier if I really want). This is possible because we can all take any exam we want each month.
@NathanMerrill Well, if you have, let's say, Commercial Law I (and in semester II, you'd have CL II and so on), and you already know CL, you can just take all exams at once, even though they're from completely different semesters. That's why I like my University.
It's interesting that the 40-49 and 50-59 just completely swap positions -- Star Wars came out 40 years ago, but Star Trek came out 50 years ago. Childhood nostalgia is strong.
@TimmyD I think so. Oddly enough I tried it with a different key, the one on the Blue Shift disc, and Steam said it was successful and is now downloading the entire Platinum Pack. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> When IGN pressed for a status update on the rumoured Half-Life and Portal movies, JJ Abrams responded, "Not yet, but they're in development, and we've got writers, and we're working on both those stories. But nothing that would be an exciting update." Au contraire, Mr Abrams; confirmation of their existence is more exciting than you think.
I just found out we've had a challenge a while ago.
Do you really expect someone to develop a program able to play go? This has been tried for 40 years or so and the best attempts can be easily beaten by any moderately experienced player. — user16991 Feb 4 '15 at 7:00
I remember reading about Go in a computational complexity textbook and how with the ko rule thing evaluating a position is EXPTIME-complete which was pretty cool
I really want to see a paper detailing the algorithms AlphaGo uses
Write a program or function that accepts an integer in the range 1..3999 as input and returns the number of line segments required to express that integer in standard Roman numerals (so you would use XL but not VM). Examples:
1 -> 1
4 -> 3
5 -> 2
9 -> 3
10 -> 2
40 -> 4
50 -> 2
