    Could someone also write bad code and commit it using someone else's email address in the commit message, thus making the commit link to the other person's Github profile? (Sort of…

    You don't understand how something can sound appealing at first, but then in practice isn't enjoyable?

    Well, you can apply the theorem to the problem. Or apply its principles to the problem.

    Do you know if it's the same people, or just two significant (but possibly disjoint) populations of people?

    Doesn't gaining 600 points mean that you are able to beat the "old you" (or more precisely, people who you used to be even with) with 99% probability? (Or perhaps more meaningfully…

    What about sentences that end in a period without a quote? That seems like it'd be much more common.

    It seems pretty correct to me (excluding a few things I'm not familiar enough with to evaluate). Is it possible that you misinterpreted this as a post about > in code rather than t…

    Yes, I thought the exact same as you -- that the headline meant a BCI achieved like 400 wpm or something.

    If you want to frame it that way, then each physical deck can handle 52 distinct queries. So you have 52^2 / 52 = 52 decks required.

    There are many situations where a good player can be predicted because there is a clear best option (or a good option that advance knowledge won't invalidate).

    Draw a graph with vertices labeled 0 through N, then add edges i->(i+1) and i->(i+2). The answer is the number of paths from 0 to N. This is still pretty specific to counting paths…

    They mean "previous" as in before the hackers did the password resets. (So all your passwords, except the one the hackers set.) I don't think this implies a problem with "your curr…

    I think it's likely that the author's analysis of why 5 is the optimal cache size heavily depends on the fact that they only tried fib(10). For example, it's clear that cache 20 an…

    > As, we can see the optimal cache size of fib function is 5. Increasing cache size will not result in much gain in terms of speedup. Try it with fib(35), curious what you find.

    the simple recursive solution is actually O(fib(n)), which is exponential
