Comment on Facebook Hacker Cup – Almost solution (Facebook Hacker Cup Test Round) by Agnes

I’m not sure … I’ve been trying to find if there were people posting their solutions on their blogs or something, but it seems very few did. My husband did take part in the first 2 rounds … but he didn’t get qualified for the 3rd. If you are interested, I can ask if he can still access the problems.
Yeah, I know you’ve joined us … thanks for the support. Hope you enjoy the puzzles written up by my husband. The Facebook problems were not programming-oriented for him. BTW, Google Code Jam is in May, are you in?

Hi Agnes!
I’m not been able to qualified at all due to a bug of Chrome. During the qualification
round I was not able to download the input file even if the timeout on
server side started normally.
Several players reported this issues on the FB page and the admins did something
such like giving the opportunity to resubmit the solution but I was
sleeping during this time frame
Do you know if other problems are available somewhere so I can take a look?
BTW, I’m playing right now on Codercharts! Great work!

Hey Francesco,
It’s cool that you put out all these solutions to the HackerCup here. Did you get qualified into the later rounds? If you have the time to write solutions for those rounds, maybe I can point CoderCharts fans on Facebook to here.

Comment on Freepops rpm for Fedora by Mac User request to configure freepopsd.pid file

Mac User request to configure freepopsd.pid file — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 12:32:31 +0000

re: configure freepopsd.pid file

@Comment by Glandvador can you help

does anyone know how to configure this issue/problem of the freepopsd.pid file not being created under mac osx 10.4.11 tiger?

I have this problem too because apple mail.app is run under a regular non-admin user accounts only.

ie. not running apple mail.app to send/retrieve emails under admin account

it should be somewhat similar to configuring a unix file, correct?

Thank you for any assistance and help as to what to do.

cheers!

Hi Francesco,

Just some things I have done in my configuration:

1) added -n flag in the /etc/sysconfig/freepopsd file
The daemon will create a file /var/run/freepopsd.pid as root but unable to access it later as it drops privileges due to -s nobody.nobody flag.
2) in file logrotate.d/freepopsd replaced restart by condrestart
If I have installed the package it doesn’t mean I want to have it work when the system decide to rotates log files

If any of them make sense for you please add them to the rpm package.
