Oh the poor reviewers! Since students have to submit a solution before getting to the next step, they'll often ask in some programming forum, and later on just copy the same solution...
How many such exercises have already been solved by CP experts?

I would say not many, those kind of exercises are more answered by reputation hunters

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

OK, let's say CP "experts" instead of CP experts.
By the way, reputation hunters is also an euphemism; at StackOverflow, some people call them rep whores.

Microsoft is approaching the next cut-off date in Windows 7's lifecycle next month. Here's what is and isn't happening after October 31, 2014. It dresses up as Dracula and goes trick-or-treating?

The Verge:We haven’t heard from Ray Ozzie in a while, which is unusual. Ozzie has been a very busy man since the early 80s — he worked on VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet app, invented Lotus Notes and sold it to IBM for billions, then founded Groove Networks, a peer-to-peer collaboration app, which he sold to Microsoft in 2005. In 2006, Ozzie took the reins from Bill Gates as Microsoft’s chief software architect. I wish him luck (but can't forgive him for Notes)
That is really odd. CP does not like this URL, but I don't see anything wrong with it.

Wow, the hamsters do not like that link. Nothing I tried made it work.

Comments from work:- "Why can't you just do it like everybody else?"
- "Well, we haven't had any complaints yet."
- "I just want to get it into production."
- "It only matters if it’s important to someone who matters."

He’s been pursuing an old vision disguised as a new one. It turns out that Ozzie wasn’t finished with the problems Groove set out to solve. The app prophesied a new age of internet services where you could share files, instant message, and manage tasks with colleagues in real-time, but floundered under Microsoft (similarly, Wave floundered at Google). Today, Ozzie is reviving that vision with Talko, a new app for iPhone that’s coming soon to Android and web.

Ray Ozzie just can't stop rewriting this damn app, again and again and again, and taking 5-7 years each time.

As a former Groove/MS developer, I can't disagree, but the guy is fundamentally right. Groove was way better than SharePoint + email + Yammer + whatever...

At work we use Lync. Done.

Lync is fine for conferencing and IMs, but Groove was about secure workspaces in which you could share documents, calendars, messages, whiteboards, etc. and you could be sure that only the people who were invited to a workspace had access to the content.

It's fine up to http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/23/6829581/ray-ozzie-talko-app-confer. I think the link is just too long.

Good find. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

I've been fortunate enough to have never used blotus goats; but groove evolved into sharepoint, and having tried to do some development against SP once is reason enough to light my torch and grab the pitchfork from the barn.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

To get this straight, Ray wants to kill the conference call and replace it with an app that does conference calls, kind of like a bunch of apps already available. Genius!

I don't get it - why would a company pay to get likes on their page that they know not to be real?

I think the word you are looking is 'herd'...

If I saw a page with 1 like, and a page with 1000 likes, I'm more likely to click like on the page with 1000.

mmm... strange. I just use the decription if there is any, if not I briefly open both and stay in the one it seems better for me or whatever... But I usually fully ignore the likes. Within and out facebook.

Higgs demonstrates how lazy code generation and other techniques improve compiler performance. That's not new: I've been using lazy code generation for years
