Contract-wise, other than a non-competition clause, it is stated that anything I do using company assets belongs to the company. Disregarding the consequences that would affect me, what kind of claim would they get on the project itself, if the company came to find out about my breach of contract? Is it even breaching contract?

C/C++ command line parser parses off the command line parameters into the

It gets harder when double quotes are not escaped with ^ as cmd.exe will now interpert them as “Start or end a double quoted part.” The C/C++ command line parser interperts the first as “Start a double quoted part” and the double quote is removed. The C/C++ command line parser interperts as “End the double quoted part” and the double quote is removed.

My first preference was to build my own software product, ideally something for software developers or small business owners like me. I wrote a few more blog posts, and I started using Twitter and a few other social platforms to document the various choices I was making while figuring out my next steps. Within three months, my blog posts were read by over 100,000 people, and a decent number of them chose to follow me on Twitter and other platforms.

Sun-Star Stationery’s Stickyle Scissors

The Pencut changed all of this, touching off a wave of new compact products from other producers. The scissors have blades that curve away from each other in a way that makes them always meet at a 30-degree angle along the entire length of the blades. But the product also features the same curved blade design of its Fitcut Curve sibling for enhanced performance.

On the way home one of his colleagues suggested they hold a seminar on time-sharing to inform the British computing community about the new techniques that they had learned about in the U.S. Davies agreed, and played host to a number of major figures in American computing, among them Fernando Corbató (creator of the Compatible Time-Sharing System at MIT), and Larry Roberts himself. Likewise, by slicing up each message into standard-sized pieces which Davies called “packets,” a single communications channel could be shared by multiple computers or multiple users of a single computer. The most advanced telephone networks were then on the verge of computerizing their switching systems, and Davies proposed building packet-switching into that next-generation telephone network, thereby creating a single wide-band communications network that could serve a wide variety of uses, from ordinary telephone calls to remote computer access.

The data validation stage has three main components: the data analyzer computes statistics over the new data batch, the data validator checks properties of the data against a schema, and the model unit tester looks for errors in the training code using synthetic data (schema-led fuzzing). Model unit testing is a little different, because it isn’t validation of the incoming data, but rather validation of the training code to handle the variety of data it may see. To flush these out, the schema is used to generate synthetic inputs in a manner similar to fuzz testing, and the generated data is then used to drive a few iterations of the training code.

It’s 6 pages of my favorite Spy Codes, for use with your own budding spy team (i.e. your kids). Last year I blogged about: Dadding 101: Give Your Kids A Trail of Codes To Break…. and of course coding trails are not limited to use by dads. Simon Singh’s delightful volume “The Code Book” is a great read on the topic of codes throughout history.

In this case, I’m going to plot a simple scatter graph to the terminal, using the following code (I apologise for my terrible indentation style):

And we get the following output:

There’s a clear pattern there, but it might be easier to see if we inverted it, plotting those things which don’t loop:

For this kind of thing it’s also worth getting familiar with gnuplot. After that, we get the following function to test:

This last step is pretty straightforward: see if there’s an algorithm already out there that solves your problem. In fact, python provides this algorithm as a function in the standard library, making our last version of the function the following:

I’m not sure if this function is fully correct, but it was accepted as a solution to the puzzle.

As Aka Manai emphasized to me, people understand shamans to be different kinds of entities, made “other” by their ordeals. Convinced that shamans diverge from normal people, communities accept that they have superhuman abilities. Like shamans and money managers, they decorate themselves with badges of credibility—an association with the White House, for example, or a familiarity with ancient Tibetan medicine—that persuade customers of their special abilities.
