The fact that it is NP hard just means that it is equivalent to a whole lot of problems to which we have not yet found a fast (aka polynomial time) solution. It does not mean that we are sure that there exists no such algorithm.
If you can prove that no polynomial time algorithm exists for TSP, you can go and claim the reward of 1 million dollars for solving the P vs NP conjecture.

I believe a lot of people studying mathematics (at least those I know) feel like they aren't smart enough.

@irene A zipped bunch of xml files indeed

@3psilon Try the vimtutor command on a unix system. That taught me my first baby steps into the wonderful world of vim ;-)

@Codex404 Consensus on SO seems to be that PUT is performed to create an entity at a specific URL (with known "id"), while POST is used to create an entity below a specific URL (when you don't know the "id" in advance):
PUT /products/1729
or
POST /products/

Just wondering, a little off-topic: What kind of upper bound have you guys found for finding k-tuples?

@Root Yes. But that's more the problem of those who get annoyed than anybody else's :P

@Chrupiter Rest assured, it's not mine either.
And I'm afraid you are right. Forget I said anything.

@Chrupiter Dice is the plural form of die, often incorrectly used as singular as well...

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

@Drillan767 Maybe just vanilla git?

Yup

@C0D4 If you mean what I think you mean: the frontend probably assumes that an error code means the user already exists.

The message that the API gives back says "password too long"

A cow has two eyes. Your mom has two eyes. So your mom is a cow.

(Just emphasizing the fallacy here. Not directed at any person in particular. Not meant offensively.)

The same argument can be made for using a language like C/Java/python instead of just writing Asembly code.
Writing more high-level code is easier, faster and in a lot of cases also safer: abstraction often prevents you from fucking up. Of course, there is no free lunch in computer science and abstraction often leads to performance loss.
Therefore, a programmer needs to compare the value of his own time, the value of having a readable program and the value of a "safe" program, against the value of the program's performance in terms of memory and time usage.

Hm... On the open interval (0, 1) (subset of R), betweenness is dense, but (0, 1) is not dense in R.

Oooh. You're talking about the density of betweenness.
The thing I know as "dense", works as follows: A subset S of a topological space (X, t) is dense if its closure equals X, i.e., if X is the smallest closed set (in (X, t)) that contains S.

@beleg But... How does density have anything to do with embedding the real number line?

It doesn't really make sense?
Something like "Your closure is the entire space" or "there is only one closed set that fits around you" would be better imho.

@matste Do you think they should always work with the industry standards when it comes to languages and tools?

http://emoj.li/ should have done this ^^

@Agred No need to apologize. I mean, it was quite an off-topic question ;-)

@Agred Hm... Is it really a degree? In the Netherlands it is more of a position/title: (almost) every professor is the main person of a research group, as far as I know.

Wait... "professor degrees"?

@irene Well... Yes. But while the purpose of unicode is to preserve every character when going to and then from unicode, I am not sure whether they guarantee anything about a unique encoding.

I can ask the original person who came up with this story, if you want :-)
He knows a bit more about it than me.

I heard someone propose this a while back. It was immediately met with a reason why it is a bad idea.

I believe it boils down to the fact that emoji, while looking exactly the same, actually might be encoded slightly differently, depending on your platform. If that is true, it would mean emoji passwords are a veeeeery bad idea.

@thevariableman What's wrong with 19?

I tend to dislike composite numbers. They are so much less original than prime numbers.

Congrats on being an organ donor!

Unfortunately I only have a couple pianos and a harpsichord.

JK, I'm an organ donor too, welcome to the club ;-)

Welcome to DevRant by the way!
