Wrong analogy.

It's a wolf who eats beef, and the "beef" doesn't go away if another wolf eats them.

Here's IPython equivalent.

How would you find (n-1)! given n!? (Think for a moment before moving on.)

Dividing by n of course, (n-1)!=n!/n. This immediately extends the notion of factorials backwards to 0!=1!/1.

It's only a matter of checking to see which factorial-dependent formula (usually arising in context of combinatorics, or gamma function) fits - and it turns out (luckily) that everything fits.

Edit: Even if it tuned out some things don't fit, we would still be free to define 0! as 1 as a convention. But the fact that everything fits, makes it a useful definition - prevents you from checking a lot of edge cases, eliminating the need of many ``if (k==0) ...`` from codes.

Thanks - that's actually a pretty good idea. With the base structure already needed for the bubble charts - animations, drawing axes, etc., it is not gonna be too difficult to extend this to other chart types.

May be when I get some spare time - I will put it into this.

The idea came from here - http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_y...

This was my first major project on javascript... I am not a developer by profession. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the criticism.

I wanted to mean evolution will improve us eventually, only if those people with aggressive impulses have severe disadvantage going forward in the society. But that premise is debatable, I agree.

Thanks for the criticism.

Thanks for the comment. Not sure if I followed the custom salt part - unless it is already implemented at the bottom of the page, where I call the salt as master password in the custom bookmarklet. Would love to know your thoughts in case you meant something else.

Hi,

This is inspired by the Password Hasher addon for Firefox. It will hash a password and generate unique strong password from the same input, varying by websites where it is called.

Reason I made it is 1) it has a custom salt, so a hacker cannot potentially bruteforce with this as a layer if you have set your 'unique master password', and 2) this is bookmarklet - no strong dependency on Firefox.

Sharing since some of you may find it useful too.

I fit that storyline background perfectly. With one major exception, I got a job into finance risk management from campus, because my major was in Statistics. (Though after 8 years of experienced, I learned that statistics is not really used in such jobs - anything more than regression is not understood well (even regression in some cases), and 'intuitive' non-statistical solutions are always sure to be better received and sold despite offering far subpar solutions - but I digress.)

I recently got a call from Google for my rank in Code Jam. I explained my position and expressed my desire to work on programming. The HR, a very nice person, made it all but definite that because of my background and experience, I should look for a risk analysis role and not coding. He is still willing to set up a programming interview if I insist... but I don't know what to do :(
