Neat! This sort of thing also is a really nice project for playing around with logic programming languages.

One missing feature is enforcing a unique solution, which is something you'd generally expect from a word search puzzle.


Good point. I was relying mostly on the words being sufficiently complex that the odds of them appearing by chance would be small, but enforcing that assumption would be a good exercise.


Perhaps the question was whether the article on fusion.net itself is a paid placement. It certainly reads like it.


Try reading the first few pages: http://www.amazon.com/Cow-Country-Adrian-Jones-Pearson-ebook...

This reads nothing like Pynchon.

I agree that the author of the article managed to convey a different impression quite successfully.


Editing the URL to 1km works.


I'd love to exploit ad networks user profiles for this. I.e., store some bits as "interests", by running a few appropriate google searches or hitting a few web sites, read the bits by seeing what ads you're served. This would probably require a bit of learning and a redundant encoding to make it work, but...


But this would surely open the governments up for lawsuits in the TTIP courts...


Well they could just reject or renegotiate the TTIP then?


"just"


Well, are they looking out for their citizens or not? Isn't that supposed to be their job?


Oh my, that's a terrible site. So I have to watch a full page video to find out what I might want to install?


Fast compile times, for one.


For example, 100% coverage won't help with the classic Windows Tetris bug where the score overflows at 32768.


Yes, overflows and data races are bane for the coverage tests - just a false sense of security.


Surprised no-one linked to sportsscientists.com: http://sportsscientists.com/2010/08/the-sub-2-hour-marathon-...

A line of thought that's particularly interesting there is that a 2h marathon has implications for 10000m and half marathon speeds, which make it seem quite a bit further off.
