I imagine the main part of the algorithm will be:

weight = title.toLowerCase().indexOf("cat") < 0 ? 0 : 1000;


Isn't it written in python?

weight = 1000 if "cat" in title.lower() else 0


Too many false positives. More like if re.search('\bcat\b')

“If we have it for restaurants, why [don’t] we have it for people?” one Twitter user offered the withering reply, “[B]ecause restaurants [don’t] kill themselves??”

I hope that the creators and the investors will be dragged through court (and rightfully so), if God forbid something like that happens.

Is it standard nowadays to charge customers for support? Checking out the pricing (and correct me if I'm wrong), does it really cost $5000/month to have 24/7 support? That seems crazy to me.

Now granted I pay about $300/month for the VM I have with my hosting provider, but I can pick up a phone at any hour and talk to a tech when things go south.

I really don't care how good a service is, I want to talk with a breathing human being when my business is down.


(We've been customers for well over a year, close to 18 months I think)

You do get support for no additional fee, but you can pay for additional access to support staff. That said, they've always been quite responsive to our requests, with a fairly short turnover time by email.

It is however customary in the industry to pay for additional levels of support:

> $300/month for the VM

High-availability, automatic failover, managed, with diamond-cut SSDs I hope? Who are you with? For that money you should just pick up a box.


When a typical developer or admin cost is $50 or so an hour, $300 isn't a material amount, and there are use cases where it's not just about whether a single VM less or more than the cost of a single physical server.


i don't get it, maybe its because i'm not a huge chess player, but hear me out. The the key to the puzzle was promoting to a bishop, but why not just promote to a queen? A queen can move directions just the same as a bishop. Am I missing something that required a bishop in order to complete this puzzle?

Edit: Thank you for the comment explaining this.


When the Queen is placed, it becomes Black's turn. Black is not in check, but is in a situation where there are no legal moves for Black to play (his pawns cannot advance, and the king has no legal squares to land on. Because of this, Black can claim a draw instead of a loss.


Promoting to a queen would result in a stalemate as the black player would have no legal moves. Promoting to a bishop allows the king to move to the the 8th row, allowing the final checkmate by white


If white promotes to a queen, black will have no legal moves because the king can't move into check, and the pawns can't move at all. If a player can't move, the game is a draw.


I block ads for one reason only: I don't want malware.. period.. the end.

The day ad companies actually have a conscience and won't sell to malware authors, is the day i'll stop blocking their ads.


And also the record store. Times change, industry needs to adjust. This isn't just the result of the internet, but technology and people's habit as a whole.


A company blog with no link back to the company's main site? Why do I see this mistake on so many of these?


It kills me that our legal system is like this. You should never has to "give in" simply because you face a harsher sentence if you exercise your right to defend yourself. I don't see why our justice system simply lowers sentences or fine individuals rather than tacking on ridiculous sentences.


Been an iHeartRadio fan for a few months now. Love the fact that they normal only play an ad when you first load it and thats it (and usually its an AllState ad with Dean Winters who was AWESOME in Oz).

Never really gave Google Play Music a shot since, quite honestly, no one every talks about it. I've tried Pandora and Spotify and they weren't all that great. Well Pandora was only good because if you install AdBlock you never got ads. I'll have to try it out and see if maybe a switch is in my future.
