hmmm, this is bizarre. When I look up delegate count for republican, it shows 996, 565, 153 for the top 3 candidates, with 571 still available. If you add all of them up, you get 2285, so the majority should be 1143.
That's for the initial round of the convention voting.
In the GOP convention, the delegates are mandated to vote according to their individual state primaries, but only for the first round. After that, they can vote for whomever.
The national GOP convention.
That's where the 1237 number comes in -- if you've reached 1237 delegate votes after all the primaries, then you'll win the first round of the national convention voting.
@El'endiaStarman This may be conflating the conventions with the actual Presidential election. The Constitution specifies that if no candidate gets a majority of the electoral college vote (majority, not plurality), then Congress gets to decide by vote.

> The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.

I'm about to take the world's easiest exam (for my computer science class). Open notes, open internet, I have a >100% in the class so far and this exam is worth 10% of my final grade.
@MartinBüttner the problem is probably more elegantly stated as an n by n square, where the first and last columns must be a permutation, and all possible combinations without replacement must exist as pairs
shrug now you're asking about linux, i know nothing
Thought: If you're spawning threads, they probably spawn outside the context of the web server, and potentially outside the context of the app and ActiveRecord. Just check that you still have access to everything you need in threads.
@zyabin101 shrug I'm not fussed, it's basically only there so we can talk dev without screwing this room too much, until it gets fully integrated as site chat anyway
@orlp Hm yeah that did occur to me. I didn't realise until I was almost done with writing up that I only had to consider having the repeated digit at the start
I am a very casual code golfer, and don't often see posts until they show up in the "Hot Network Questions" sidebar over on StackOverflow. Usually, I'm late to the game, and since the only language I know is Python, there is little point in me answering as there are already several Python answer...
I've been trying to solve this coding challenge from Codility for couple weeks. I just got a maximun of 35% completion according to codility. Can somebody please help?
Here is my solution in JavaScript:
function trimer(pieces){
pieces.sort(function(a, b){
if(a < b) return -1;
if(a > ...
@muddyfish That suggestion was made due to there being difficulty in narrowing down what counts as correct output. If you have dealt with that difficulty then it doesn't need to be a popularity contest
@muddyfish It might help to have a few test images and their outputs, to exclude any alternative interpretations of what you mean
For example, preserving aspect ratio is not possible in all cases, so a test case where the aspect ratio is altered by rounding up/down would be good. Specify which way must be used in the spec too.
Almost a 50-byte golf ... can't tell if I should be happy that I could trim it down so much, or sad that I posted such ungolfed code in the first place. :-/
This new ability is powered by Git LFS, so it is paid. And you are required to use Git LFS for importing large files, or else these will be completely omitted from the result repository.
