So we had to do a project for our python class and we came across a recursive
problem. The code we had to write was as follows:
T(n)
if n == 1
return 1
else
for any number(k) between 1 and n - 1
2 * T(n-k) + 2^i - 1
from this we need to get the minimum number which would be produced depending

I think of it as a bit strange. Should I report it as a bug? I was trying to
incorporate a save/load, and this happened.
def save():
target = open ("save.swroc", 'w')
target.write([counter, loop, number_of_competitors, competitors])
def load():
target = open("save.
I do this:
a = 'lasdfjlasdjflaksdjfl;akjsdf;kljasdl;kfjasl'
b = 'lasdfjlasdjflaksdjfl;akjsdf;kljasdl;kfjasl'
print
print id(a)
print id(b)
And get this:
True

There is another one.
Once object passes through singletonizator
there wont be any other object than first one.
Then object constructor can freely be used in every place
of code.
Curious if there could be any impact and applicability
of this to builtin types.
p.s. learned today that object

Sure, but nobody said the text file had to be _stored_ anywhere :)
Computers are quite capable of working with streams

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out where 'simpler' stops and 'too simplistic'
begins. That's what I call 'absolute simplicity'. It is a necessity in
some areas of learning where even a jot of inefficiency can be costly
(consider a superconducting magnet just below the critical frequency

Hi,
Current software development methods make things way more complex than
they need to be. I am trying to get an idea for how simple things can
be from final product down to low level implementation, hoping to
recover the code density miracles that the old school Forthers turned
out ages ago.
