It's pulling in a copy of the css file the flask site uses.

Microsoft has had such a service for a few years now, they call it SkyDrive. Unfortunately it wasn't a very good user experience when I last looked at it. It's been a while though …

It goes something like: a b c d e f g becomes: a.b(c).d(e).f(g)

Java and the JVM are not the same thing. Java is a programming language. The JVM is a stack-based virtual machine that executes Java bytecode. Java bytecode is what Java compiles i…

In scala you would use a for-comprehension to get the same effect: for (p = 18) { println(p); }

Big O notation is intended to convey the algorithm's runtime as a function of the inputs. By the sounds of it, the number of checkboxes you had was actually fixed and relatively sm…

I think the other replies have answered your question well enough, but your definitions for = are a litle off. The cases 1 and 2 are really the same thing. In Python the names are …

The "=" in the declaration of Haskell functions isn't considered an assignment, but a binding of a name to a definition. Usually when you have assignments, you are permitting a nam…
