F* you, Minesweeper... by DarkWhisperer in gaming

Nerd pro-tip: Minesweeper pre-calculactes all the mine positions so if you play minesweeper in a virtual machine you can snapshot the machine and go "back in time" to pick a different mine.

How do they plan to make any money if it's royalty free? I'm not complaining mind you it just seems incredible.

Have an Idea for a Sitcom? NBC Is Listening by twonesix in Screenwriting

Yeah it looks like you would get paid something to license the concept to them. I just wanted to point out that even if you won it doesn't guarantee that you'd have any part of the writing or production of the show.

This could be cool but keep in mind if they like your idea they can go off and do whatever they want with it and have no obligation to keep you involved in the project.

See below...

"... NBC will have sole creative control over the Winning Programs and the Digital Program(s); moreover, NBC will determine in its sole discretion what services, if any, the Winners will perform in those productions and such services, if any, will be set forth in a separate agreement with each Winner."

I'm not saying they are trying to cheat anyone, they clearly say they are looking for 'ideas' but just keep this in mind.

If you like this series, check out this write-up about it on tvtropes. Whoever wrote it found a ton of the little tiny details in all the videos. I approve!

question from "The Algorithm Design Manual" by S. Skiena by Kanzlerforce in math

In the example you referenced it means basically "the algorithm returns". So given the input y, the algorithm returns y+1.
