Don't just downvote me. Challenge me!
Edit: Maybe downvote & challenge me :-) ?
Recursion is just a tree.
Calling a function/procedure is expensive (in memory and run-time).
Create a tree (e.g. linked list), base your recursion on that!
You are not at university anymore, where you look at naive implementations for the sake of learning.
Spoiler: I (actually do) resolve (function-call) recursion to (tree-based) recursion when I feel like I want to.
Downvoters pls explain.
4000 isn't that much either & whats memchached? A hashmap?
He maybe means 300 lines of relevant code (+ ~3700 sugar)
2. You have a basically American audience on HN. I underpinned "kind of left" with the "basic income discussion", which -with no doubt- the Spiegel has a (very) positive stance for it (just search Google, the German terminology is "(bedingungsloses) Grundeinkommen").
3. No, it's not my opinion v.s. your's (that would be deficient)
[1] It's the co-editor ... and his appointment "was received with great controversy within der Spiegel": http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolaus_Blome
He is also the one responsible for "the online-resort", so the articles on their web site.
They are kind of "left" which reflects in their articles "raises a second narrative about inequality". They'd support basic income any time.
The Spiegel has turned into yellow press lately, I am surprised to see a (english) article on HN.
Thank you HN for unveiling that there are some spots in Europe that are doing fine and that there are structural problems (I can see them, the borders are open and ppl come to Germany from other European countries).
Twitter is a native / highly fluent english speaker.
It's that experience (a lot of exposure in the area) is very important.
It doesn't invalidate that when you are young you are mentally fitter.
"It's product-know-how that counts", but also "a good theoretical foundation" (for thinking logical, and believe me, it is better for everyone if you have that). So 6 years of studying + years of experience (for each product), the more the better.
Unf. you are mentally fittest between 20 and 30. Youngsters may make up with that, but I don't worry about my future.
It's not that 6 months is too little, it's that nothing is ever enough (and more is always better).
I guess some young startup guys may disagree and yes, there are Marc Zuckerbergs, which escape the law.
I don't want to hold you back from trying to escape this law.
The market (players) (can) manipulate it to create an (perceived) competitive advantage.
It's also a source where "evil" in IT comes from.
In context: "... the knowledge management community ..."
(I guess mainly acadamic)
AI failed (again). I never understood where "Intelligence" lies if the only thing you can do is infer: If A --> B & B --> C, then also A --> C ("we don't do anything else since that won't be logic" & then bloating it and naming it "Reasoner").
If you can't spin of quickly from academic ideas (like Google search) it will just be ongoing research binding masses of people on the wrong things (to pursue). Don't tell me they chose to,... still influenced and finding out later that it wasn't worthwile.
Academia thought it's the next web, but it wasn't. The Web 2.0 was the next web then, leaving the semantic web in the dust.
"When I see the semantic web (of trust) be done (properly), this is basically when I can retire" (Tim Berners-Lee ~2004).
Just my (honest) thoughts (as s/w who spend a significant amount of time on RDF/OWL et al at university).
BUT: If you go there from HN he dispays just the gif
Wow, ... he seems to protect his article from the HN-crowd :-D
But generally good public (e.g. on github) standing should justifiy you a job (maybe even a highly paid one)
EDIT: Wow, thanks for the downvotes: Just to let you know: I LIVE (and work since almost 10 years) IN Europe! I have 2 (relevant!) projects on github and usually don't talk about them at hiring situations (though they are mentioned in my CV and are actually used (and appreciated) by people out there)
But look... you may just know better (and I am eager to hear your reply) !
And on "Why github is not your CV": Your animated gif is not advancing the discussion AND nobody said that github=yourCV.
You can bend reality (to your favour) but just not too much!
And... your parent commenter is right: "When it comes to hiring, I'll take a Github commit log over a resume any day.", jeresig [2]

Saving on them, or are they managers now ?
Or... doesn't that happen nowadays ?
(everything else will just blow the system ... apparently)
NO! (it is only possible WITH the required skills!)
If you were made rich by some (recent) lucky coincidence, then you can also do whatever you want.
Great message, a bit hidden. Unveiled by hacker news, thank you!
Okay, you need an additional array (I am using a separate array, the "result array") [1]: But that doesn't matter, since the additional array can just grow (while the partitions/other arrays shrink).
Though my implementation is not cache-aware, which is very interesting and pretty relevant for performance.
[1] Actually I am using a linked tree data structure: "In-place"... which IS HIGHLY relevant: It can occur that the input data is large ((already) filling up (almost) all RAM) and these programs ("Execution Groups") terminate "the old way", so just 'abend'.
And hence it stands: By the way I have proven that you can implement QuickSort STABLE AND IN-PLACE
Thank you :) and fix you wording, when saying "Quicksort is..."
> Among non-stable algorithms [...] quicksort [...]
QuickSort can be implemented so that it is stable: http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=273722&highli... (I am author, AMA)
Why is gnu-core-utils-sort implemented as mergesort (also in place, but slower) ?
Edit: And sorry: In-Place matters: Quicksort is fastest AND uses least memory.
Who the heck can say sth about the imput (that it may be like "pre-sorted" ?!)
Try to show that there is no difference between woman and men and you may get upvotes.
Edit: And hey: Life for femals is much better between 16 and 35 (and deteriorates quickly after that).
Man,... I know a lot of grumpy old woman.
Could just pls one of the hacking moms reply with their experience? Preferably ones that manage it with 3 or more kids? Please leave you technology stack in the comment.
