The guy is probably proud of his prog, that's why he published it. Indeed, that's more a C approach than a C++, but anyway for solving a sudoku there is no need to put in place a lot of complex data structures.
What I like in this prog is that he optimizes the process by simply considering that since any 1-9 digit can only be once in each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids, he uses a 10 bits int and associate 2^i with a digit (instead of an array, or worse checking all digits each time). Then 'Place()' recursively tries only possible combinations which converges quickly to a solution.
Good prog. I wish all political figures would be able to show such an artwork!
about half of US murders are committed by African Americans, who make up about 1/8 of the population. If you adjust the rate of that population to the national average, you get a US murder rate of less than 2.7/100000
But you'd have to apply the same rule to the European rate to get something comparable, wouldn't you? However in Europe, in order to avoid crime-race dangerous and abusive aggregation, the rates published do not show associations between crime and skin color.
Well, when all you have to convince people that they should work for you is promises of eternal bliss after death without any kind of proof, you can't really expect nobel prize material to flock to you...
Not sure that's the only reason. Some of these people are just looking for something in which they can get deeply involved, out of the ordinary society stuff. They would actually love being enrolled in some armies to fight for a country, kill or be killed, but they just don't see themselves fighting for our western countries. So the actual reason may not really be Santa Claus / God / Mahomet / [...] and the "eternal bliss", but just the desire to fight for something in which they feel more free than within the regular organized and stricter western armies.
After the Paris "Charlie Hebdo" shooting, it was obvious that such an event, in Texas, would be well protected against similar attacks. Isn't that attack another proof that fanaticism == stupidity?
This is/. so we can expect comments about 1) was Nepal ready to fight such a disaster, compared to, eg, Japan 2) what are the progresses in terms of EQ detection 3) what is the chance of such a strong EQ happening in that region 4) do we have more & more of such big disasters recently 5) is it linked to the Sun activity, linked to the human oil/gas digging 6) will China offers help to Nepal?... All of this is rather interesting IMO, so wait and watch!
They release a major update while 14.04 is supposed to be LTS = Long time support (3 years, 15.04 is 1 year). Some bugs have been fixed in 14.10 (and 15.04) that are still live on 14.04. Annoying.
seriously one of the best investment we have made up there.
This is one of the reasons funding doesn't always go where it would make science progress the better. Hubble outcome is visually attractive and nice (photos). Other fields, particle accelerators, neutrino research etc... that people hardly understand, may not gather the same amount of enthusiasm.
Casting is ok, Fisk is excellent, but Murdock is, unfortunately, not the best choice. Too bad he's the main character. Reminds me of McGuire in Spiderman.

a C programmer would put it as void Succeed(void)
A C programmer would put it as 'void succeed()' or even 'succeed()'.
I grew up in the North and was taught how to shoot by the Boy Scouts at a relatively early age.
And anywhere else kids are taught to shoot at men and other various creatures through violent games. Which is worse?

So yes, we really want this kind of discussion on Slashdot.

Absolute zero? Pluto's min temp is 33 K, quite far from 0 K.
It depends
Will the computer be prohibited from counting cards? Humans may bluff, but they cannot fake statistics.
depends if you are in LA..

s/when/where/
Provided that Lightning never strikes (the same place) twice, just keep statistics and you'll know at least when it won't strike again.
Can you apply the same reasoning to a Blu ray or DVD you bought and own? I didn't think so.
Don't blame the article, blame the messenger.
You should write /. articles!

And what about perf/price ratio?
Have Facebook and/or Google go IPV6 only for website access. You will see virtually 100% adoption of IPV6 within 24hrs ...
This is why that's never gonna happen.
How good is that?
8.2 on IMDb, not so good for a tv series.
So we may end using Internet from a NATed ISP, itself NATed... and we may run out of private IPs as well!
