"-me-" is disability. "-me" is like "-ing" in English. "-(e)m" is "my" in English. " -e" is "to" in English. Combine all of those and you get beautiful words!
@ChristopherPeart A) Your else block is hit if the input string contains non alphabetical characters, meaning it will give a not helpful error message. B) After word = original.lower(), you never use original again, why instantiate a new variable?
@Extrarius Given the rules on the site, you'd need to write an interpreter or compiler that incorporates those shortenings. If you just have a #include at the top and another header that's sitting alongside the file, you'd need to include the bytecount of the header file, too.
@Extrarius You could make a wrapper for C that prepends a bunch of #defines and #includes, publish it, and call it it's own implementation, which would technically be valid.

Observe the following sequence:
1 3 9 54 162 729 2187 6561 19683
We can see that this is equivalent to:
1 * 1
1 * 3
1 * 9
2 * 27
2 * 81
3 * 243
3 * 729

The sequence on the right is the first 9 ...
Basically dotfiles are configuration files that certain programs (vim, bash etc.) Always read before starting, and when you put a lot of time into customizing them it's nice to save the settings so you can use them again later
@KritixiLithos I think they just added that today. I've been having a lot of fun with it
@KritixiLithos You can create a separate partition for Ubuntu, I believe OSX and Linux filesystems are compatible so you can access all files from either OS.
@DJMcMayhem The master is using various gestures to accomplish his task, as in a UI, which are difficult to understand. It would have been easier for the programmer to understand what the master was doing if he explicitly stated it, as in a terminal.
My first programming experience was when I was five, programming BASIC on a Commodore VIC-20. I still have it, too, but I haven't turned it on in over two decades.
The Tao gave birth to machine language. Machine language gave birth to the assembler.
The assembler gave birth to the compiler. Now there are ten thousand languages.
Each language has its purpose, however humble. Each language expresses the Yin and Yang of software. Each language has its place within the Tao.
But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it.
A Cobol programmer made so much money doing Y2K remediation that he was able to have himself cryogenically frozen when he died. One day in the future, he was unexpectedly resurrected.
When he asked why he was unfrozen, he was told:
"It's the year 9999 - and you know Cobol"
@Pavel Way back when, computers had (very) limited memory. To shortcut some of that, they just used two-digit years (and it was obvious that 63 meant 1963). Well, that would break when Y2K hit, because 00 would be interpreted as 1900 and not 2000.
You would be surprised how many big commercial applications still run on COBOL, FORTRAN, and the like. They just sit in their mainframe, quietly humming away and processing the data.
Heck, my entire years of university (early 2000s), the "web-enabled" class registration program was an HTML front-end over a CGI that ran calls to, I think, a FORTRAN mainframe backend.
@AdmBorkBork I presume that they now have a mobile app that interfaces with a Sharepoint server that runs a backend call to a HTA that loads an ActiveX object to make a XMLHttpRequest to the HTML front-end over a CGI that once ran calls to a FORTRAN mainframe backend.
Well, but COBOL has been picked on almost its entire existence. It was designed for "business" and not for "computer science" and so academia looked down on it from its inception.
@wizzwizz4 Standard Ruby doesn't do that with *, but allowing me to define that is what makes Ruby so great
And with func/iterable == iterable.inject(&func), we can rewrite :+/(:to_i*gets.split(',')) to the equivalent (but longer) gets.split(',').map(&:to_i).inject(:+)
I want to print those mountains in HTML page.( Not in Console) I try to use the discussed code as follows :
F=n=>{
m = n+n
outer:
for (i=1; i < 1<<m; i+=2)
{
o=[]
l=0;
p=1;
for (j = 1; j <1<<m; j+=j,p++)
{
if (i&j)
{
q=o[n-l]||[]
q[p]=1;
o[n-l]=q
++l;...
So far I've implemented / (reduce), * (map), ~ (reverse arguments), ^ (call with single argument - not sure if this is the right symbol but it has the right precedence), & (alias to method, e.g. 1&:+ is increment), and | (composition). What else should I add?
An easy way to understand the unit n-dimensional hypercube is to consider the region of space in n dimensions that you can get if every coordinate component lies in [0, 1]. So for one dimension it's the line segment from 0 to 1, for two dimensions it's the square with corners (0, 0) and (1, 1), e...
