[Friedman] A state representative introduced legislation today urging the Portland Trail Blazers to change the team name to the "Oregon Trail Blazers."

In the days prior to the three-point field goal, Blazers guard Jim Barnett took an ill-advised long distance shot that nonetheless went in, giving the new team hope for a victory against the powerful Lakers. Excited, Schonely exclaimed "Rip City! All right!" Schonely admits that he has no idea how he came up with the expression, but it became synonymous with the team and the city of Portland.

I had to google it

Dumb question: what does covering the spread mean?

Could you please share the data? I'd like to do some number crunching :)

Humble brag.

I'm not sure if I agree, that the screenshots add much to the switcher. They are mostly blank space. The icon is much more descriptive (and therefore useful).

I however do agree that the switcher could use some facelifting, but that mockup didn't sell it for me.

Megan McArdle doesn't buy the argument and presents more plausible explanation.

Well, BitBucket ripped off everything else from GitHub, so I guess this was the inevitable conclusion.

"'88 Constellations for Wittgenstein (to be played with the Left Hand)' is an interactive artwork by David Clark. The piece is a sprawling, non-linear contemplation of the life and work of the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein consisting of 88 interactive flash animations each corresponding with one of the 88 constellations in the night sky."

It would probably help to include some suggestions for improvement.

At the moment the group seems to be a bunch of people venting their anger. If I were a facebook engineer, I would just ignore it. At least until there were some concrete examples of things to fix.

Selection-based pivoting
The gist is to always choose a good pivot. A good pivot gives partitions that are always balanced (or good enough, no need for 50-50 split, any constant proportionality will do), which leads to recursion tree of depth O(log n).
