07:55:49 <clarity__> hey
07:56:25 <clarity__> what would be the fastest way to find an number in an array of integers... the array can be mutated
07:57:26 <nsh-> .wik Array mutation
07:57:28 <phenny> "Wiktionary (a free dictionary) Wikibooks (free textbooks) Wikiquote (quotations) Wikisource (a free library) Commons (images and media) Wikinews (free news source)" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_mutation
07:57:38 <clarity__> hmm
07:57:50 <clarity__> array mutation means the values in the array can be moved around
07:58:13 <clarity__> the integers are randomly spread through the array
07:58:25 <clarity__> i've heard there's a faster way to do it than O(n)
07:59:16 <nsh-> .wik Binary search algorithm
07:59:18 <phenny> "A binary search algorithm (or binary chop) is a technique for finding a particular value in a sorted list." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm
07:59:32 <est> clarity__: only with quantum computation i think
08:00:15 <nsh-> .gc bifurcation dimensionality
08:00:17 <phenny> bifurcation dimensionality: 105,000
08:00:20 <nsh-> .g bifurcation dimensionality
08:00:21 <clarity__> hrm, yeah what the girl was saying didn't make any sense
08:00:23 <phenny> nsh-: http://monet.unibas.ch/~elmer/pendulum/bif.htm
08:00:53 <clarity__> she claimed "put it in an ordered heap and then search for the element" is faster than O(n)
08:01:14 <clarity__> the bottom up heap algorithm takes O(n)...
08:01:27 <clarity__> I don't think that's right :-\
08:01:49 <nsh-> clarity__ the binary search argorithm is O(log n)
08:02:12 <clarity__> that's only for ordered list
08:02:20 <clarity__> this randomly placed.
08:02:35 <nsh-> what was meant by "put it in an ordered heap" then?
08:06:59 <clarity__> i'm not sure
08:07:16 <clarity__> doesn't the ordered heap operation take O(n)
08:07:16 <clarity__> ?
08:18:49 <est> arranging them in a binary heap takes O(n * log n) i think
08:19:32 <est> ..and then finding a particular number takes O(log n)

11:20:27 <Arnia> Certain to fit perfectly into Eden is Pumpkin Patch offering a gorgeous selection of funky fashion for babies, toddler boys and girls, all the way through to pre-teens. Founded in New Zealand it is now a global brand with quality, inspirational design.
11:20:37 <Arnia> Next on the list is Office Shoes; notorious for providing top fashion styles with a designer edge. With only one other store within a 30 mile radius, their decision to be part of Eden is an exciting and exclusive one.
11:20:51 <Arnia> With its unique and highly distinctive identity, Monsoon has developed a strong brand which is recognised as a provider of individual design. As one of the UK’s most popular retailers, Monsoon offers sophisticated and stylish wear for women as well as modern, urban fashion for men and cute, classic styles for children.
11:21:03 <Arnia> The anticipation continues as global favourite Gap joins the line up. The new store will present a full range of branded products with an emphasis on contemporary fashionwear.

14:34:36 <bjoern_> "o,rly?!"
14:36:06 <sbp> you omitted the most important that; that Nielsen was saying it
14:36:15 <sbp> er, fact
14:37:07 <sbp> The Fact That That "That" That You Call Fact Is In Fact That That "That" Might Better Be Renamed "Fact"
14:37:20 * bjoern_ does not agree that's important
14:37:39 <sbp> for most people it rather colours the fact
14:37:50 <sbp> either you love Nielsen or you hate him
14:37:55 * perigrin finds it ironic that Nielsen comments on good design.
14:38:02 <sbp> perigrin hates him
14:38:13 <perigrin> No, I think his sense of taste is appalling.
14:38:22 <sbp> that's what I mean by hate him
14:38:23 <perigrin> otherwise .... I found his book to be ... unsurprising.
14:38:41 <perigrin> I like Norman though.
14:38:43 <sbp> I don't mean that you would stab his ass to mutton if you ever came across him in the street
14:38:51 <perigrin> Ahh right.
14:38:55 <sbp> just that you would stab his book to mutton if you saw it in the library
14:39:05 <perigrin> Actually I own a copy.
14:39:11 <bjoern_> stabbed?
14:39:11 <sbp> premuttoned?
14:39:17 <perigrin> Un-muttoned.
14:39:20 <sbp> wow
14:39:23 <perigrin> I agree with most of what it says.
14:39:25 <sbp> such copies are rare
14:39:33 <perigrin> I just think you can do all of that and ... not be Ugly.
14:39:49 <perigrin> which I don't think Nielsen gets.
14:39:53 <sbp> yeah. but I guess that's why he's a usability expert and not a designer
14:39:57 <bjoern_> I don't think he preaches ugliness...
14:40:00 <sbp> which he actually says somewhere on his site...
14:40:20 <perigrin> bjoern_, have you *seen* the color scheme for the cover of his book?
14:40:27 <sbp> "I am not a visual designer, so my graphics would look crummy anyway. Since this website is created by myself (and not by a multidisciplinary team as I always recommend for large sites) I didn't want to spend money to hire an artist." - http://www.useit.com/about/nographics.html
14:41:08 <bjoern_> I hate books.
14:41:22 <bjoern_> You can't scroll, can't copy and paste, can't zoom, they are useless.
14:41:33 <sbp> not to mention grepping them or other search
14:41:43 <perigrin> I try not to hold him accountable for his lack of visual design ... *especially* now that I haven't done any myself in half a decade.

14:57:08 <sbp> so now they have influence on Big Brother
14:57:10 <darobin> probably back in power too
14:57:26 <darobin> sbp: isn't that a scary thought? it's not exactly a dream alliance...
14:57:28 <sbp> ooh, ubicomp
14:57:43 <sbp> true, it is sorta scary...
14:58:04 <sbp> perhaps he wants to go on it next time round
14:58:07 <darobin> do you really need that regex to match dahut? what were the constraints?

16:39:49 <crschmidt> (It's also possible that he just doesn't change the pages that often.)
16:40:31 <bjoern_> It's certainly true that the complaint came some time after the change went public
16:40:39 <bjoern_> you should check the release logs rather than the cvs logs though

16:43:35 <bjoern_> citing the fpi is weird of course
16:43:54 <bjoern_> also happens in their beta, http://validator-test.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Finamidst.com%2Fmisc%2Fnetscapedtd&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1

16:45:31 <crschmidt> Ah.
16:45:31 <bjoern_> the "-//..." string
16:45:39 <crschmidt> Yeah
16:45:54 <sbp> it formally identifies the dtd. publically
16:46:06 <crschmidt> OH RLY?
16:46:10 <sbp> hehe
16:46:27 <sbp> YOU HAS INVISIBLE OWL?
16:46:36 <bjoern_> I have privacy concerns about publically identifying private matters such as doctype choice.
16:46:51 <bjoern_> With respect to doctypes I am pro-choice, but afraid of saying so.
16:47:32 <sbp> I think we should all use schematron
16:47:42 * crschmidt schemes your tron
16:47:45 <crschmidt> I like tron.
16:47:49 <sbp> heh
16:48:12 <bjoern_> Last I tried to use schematron I got rather disappointed.
16:48:24 <sbp> why's that?
16:51:20 <bjoern_> I don't quite remember the details, but I think I wanted to do `every $ref in //ref/@name satisfies //define/@name = $ref` and found schematron can't express that.
16:51:43 <bjoern_> also, all schematron implementations I tried sucked donkey balls
16:52:02 <bjoern_> and the specification is not all that easy to read
16:52:55 <sbp> ah, fair enough
16:52:59 <sbp> I like the concept though
16:53:08 <bjoern_> (intuitively schematron should be able to do the above, so it might have been something else)
16:53:35 <bjoern_> Yeah, I then used XSLT for validation...
17:06:44 <Jabberwock> Do you guys know of an RSS feed that lists up-to-date dnsbl hosts?
17:07:04 <Jabberwock> there needs to be one if there isn't. I can't find any
17:15:05 <darobin> schematron can do the above
17:15:35 <darobin> schematron sucks when it's your only validation language because expressing an entire schema is a pita
17:15:49 <darobin> but as a bit alongside RNG, I quite liked it
17:16:11 <darobin> I think we use it at Joost

20:55:38 <thelsdj> anyone know http well enough to know if you get a 302 on a POST if you are supposed to continue to POST or if you are supposed to drop the form and switch to GET?
20:55:56 <bjoern_> RFC 2616 has a clear statement on that

20:57:27 <thelsdj> ok, looks like an issue of matching existing implementation and not following the RFC
20:57:37 <thelsdj> MS .NET switches to GET
20:58:06 <bjoern_> yes, it says
20:58:07 <bjoern_> [[[
20:58:12 <bjoern_>    Note: RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 specify that the client is not allowed
20:58:12 <bjoern_>    to change the method on the redirected request. However, most
20:58:12 <bjoern_>    existing user agent implementations treat 302 as if it were a 303
20:58:12 <bjoern_>    response, performing a GET on the Location field-value regardless
20:58:12 <bjoern_>    of the original request method. The status codes 303 and 307 have
20:58:13 <bjoern_>    been added for servers that wish to make unambiguously clear which
20:58:13 <thelsdj> Mono previously did not even continue automatically when initial request was a POST, but they switched to allowing redirect on POST (because of MS .NET implementation) but continued to POST on redirect
20:58:15 <bjoern_>    kind of reaction is expected of the client.
20:58:17 <bjoern_> ]]]
20:58:20 <bjoern_> shame on you!
20:58:20 <thelsdj> hehe sorry
