Lean and Mean article comp judging
-
I just wanted to let you know that the number of entries we've had for the Lean and Mean article comp have meant that judging is taking way longer than we anticipated. I've drafted a couple of other devs in to help but it could be a bit longer until we have agreed on a winner. We'll narrow it down to the top 3 and then fight out amongst ourselves over them. Thanks for all the entries - some of them (many of them) are amazing.

"We'll narrow it down to the top 3"So i would have a guess at 4. :laugh:Dave Who am I?: http://www.bebo.com/daveauld/ or http://www.dave-auld.net/

I implemented the diff algorithm from the original paper! Not so easy :) The LCS-based entries either don't work in the general case, or are slower and fatter. Anyway, whatever your decision, there will be a tutorial article posted when you get back. Nick

There's also the matter of a character-by-character diff that I thought went above-and-beyond and which impressed me immensely ;)

Glad you liked it! It was fun :) I did try comparing the whole files as characters, but it wasn't as good: A) because of the limited alphabet of the English text, it matched equal letters in unrelated lines B) it worked well for the test files because there are only 577 different characters, but didn't scale well in the general case I still didn't find the invisible change though!

that's a tad less precise than "The contest will end on August 31, 2009 at 11:59:59 PM US Eastern Standard Time", but then the shoe is on the other foot now. :doh:

That was the deadline for entries; no deadline for the judging.

It's actually a little flattering that the judging is taking so long. I guess it's a tough competition. :-D
