Radix sort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Radix sort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Radix sort's efficiency is O(k·n) for n keys which have k or fewer digits. Sometimes k is presented as a constant, which would make radix sort better (for sufficiently large n) than the best comparison-based sorting algorithms, which are all O(n·log(n)). However, in general k cannot be considered a constant. In particular, under the common (but sometimes implicit) assumption that all keys are distinct, then k must be at least of the order of log(n), however other sorting methods become O(log (n) * log (n) * n) under similar constraints as they also need to step through an ever increasing number of symbols to do the comparisons."

What does Google Closure Library offer over jQuery? - Stack Overflow

What does Google Closure Library offer over jQuery? - Stack Overflow: "“Closure is an ecosystem. It is not like jQuery where you just use it here and there to make accessing or manipulating the DOM easier. If you want to truly use Closure, you have to make a commitment to truly use it.”"

Ask HN: JQuery vs Google Closure | Hacker News

Ask HN: JQuery vs Google Closure | Hacker News: "The flip side is that coding to Closure conventions is very verbose. It feels like Java, a lot of the time. If your app is going to have hundreds of thousands of lines and dozens of developers, this is the right move. If it's just you trying to bang out an interactive website in a couple weeks, JQuery will let you get the basics done in much less code."

Rapture of the Nerds

Rapture of the Nerds: "Huw makes sure to wake up in his own bed the next morning. It’s ancient and creaky, the springs bowed to conform to his anatomy, and he wove the blankets himself on the treadle-powered loom in the back parlor that Mum and Dad left him when they ascended, several decades before. (Huw is older than he looks, thanks to an unasked-for inheritance of chromosomal hackery, and has for the most part become set in his ways: incurious and curmudgeonly. He has his reasons.) His alarm clock is a sundial sketched on the whitewashed wall opposite in bold lines of charcoal, slightly smudged; his lifestyle a work of wabi in motion."

Create a landscape only iPad app with Phonegap - Google Groups

Create a landscape only iPad app with Phonegap - Google Groups: "[self.window addSubview:self.viewController.view];

replace it with

self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;

At this point orientation is handled correctly, but for one problem: the webview doesn't appear to know the dimensions of the status bar, and tries to display content underneath it. I tried all sorts of things, and finally got this to work, in viewDidLoad: of MainViewController.m:

After
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.

add

    self.webView.frame = CGRectMake ( 0, 20, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height-20);

underscore.js - obj.length === +obj.length in javascript - Stack Overflow

underscore.js - obj.length === +obj.length in javascript - Stack Overflow: "It's another way of writing if (typeof obj.length == 'number'). Why they do it that way, it's anyone's guess. Probably trying to be clever at the expense of readability. Which is not too uncommon these days, unfortunately..."

CAP Twelve Years Later: How the "Rules" Have Changed

CAP Twelve Years Later: How the "Rules" Have Changed: "In its classic interpretation, the CAP theorem ignores latency, although in practice, latency and partitions are deeply related. Operationally, the essence of CAP takes place during a timeout, a period when the program must make a fundamental decision-the partition decision:

cancel the operation and thus decrease availability, or

proceed with the operation and thus risk inconsistency."
