Why java.util.Arrays uses Two Sorting Algorithms 30 Mar 2013 | 03:51 pm
java.util.Arrays uses quicksort (actually dual pivot quicksort in the most recent version) for primitive types such as int and mergesort for objects that implement Comparable or use a Comparator. Why ...

Why Functional Programming in Java is Dangerous 20 Jan 2013 | 04:47 pm
In my day job I work with a lot of very smart developers who graduated from top university CS programs such as MIT, CMU, and Chicago. They cut their teeth on languages like Haskell, Scheme, and Lisp. ...

XOR Defines an Abelian Group 26 Nov 2012 | 04:55 pm
Something I realized in the middle of an introductory course on cryptography when the instructor said the word “commutative” for the first time: N-bit strings with the operation XOR are an abelian gro...

Counterexamples and Proofs 11 Aug 2012 | 09:20 pm
Memo to self: when attempting to prove a theorem, and it just doesn’t seem to be working; don’t forget to search for counterexamples. The theorem may not actually be true. Even if the theorem is a pre...

1% Problems 22 Jul 2012 | 11:58 pm
I hate 1% problems. No this isn’t an OWS slogan. I’m thinking of those code issues that really aren’t a problem 99% of the time, but when they bite, they’re really hard to debug and they cause real pa...
