Radix (MSB) sort can handle arbitrary values ... and there are two different ways to do it. For sort of a single (variable-length) memcmp-able key, a (linear) prescan can generate a dense set of integers representing key prefixes in order. The radix sort is applied to the integers.

Don't know how Algeria is, but if it's anything like Tunisia, your ISP is definitely a man-in-the-middle. Stuck out like a sore thumb when talking to my bank (credit union) in Canada. I gave up doing any online banking there, figuring what some underpaid government employee could do. Quite likely and possible that Algeria's probably been harvesting FB logins for a while.

I guess people like to make bald statements ("Eight of nine top political posts (in the PRC) are held by engineers.
Sheesh; that was easy to check; and wrong. Even the "nine" is problematic. What's real is:

Hu JinTao - Gen secy of CPC, Pres of PRC; hydraulic eng.
Xi JinPing - first secy of CPC, VP of PRC; chem eng. ...Wen JiaBao - premier of PRC; PhD in geology

Not bad. But from there on, they're business-school degrees (albeit one from LSE) plus the minEd has a history degree.
A long way down the list (way past "nine") is Chen Zhu - minHealth; PhDs in microbiology and medicine from Shanghai and Université Paris. Curiously, not a CPC member.

Have to concur: even 60 x 120 character text windows are too small for me to "see" what I'm working with, in software (source code). OTOH I can print 400 lines of text (two-up) and do mark-up and notes on that. Working through a basic text window on a computer is ... limiting. IDE's (Visual Studio et al) make this limit far worse, filling screen real estate with all kinds of tabs and panels that leave room for only a peephole into what you really want to see and edit!

I homeschooled my daughters. No, I unschooled them. No, I homeschooled them. Sheesh. "Unschooling" is a term that (principally) secular homeschoolers use to distinguish what they do from the "correspondence-course" style curricula that tends to be more common in the non-secular homeschooling community (yes, they are two related but distinct groups). That didn't mean "playing video games all day". It meant finding areas of relevance and interest, and crossing a lot of boundaries: history, literature, philosophy, foundations of science aren't separate 'subjects'. Example at random: people used leeches (yech) medically, for centuries: why? That kind of question, and everything you unearth by following it up, is an unschooling "subject". Unschooling my girls also meant the education for myself that I had missed out on in school.

'steganographic', not 'stenographic'. But that's just a quibble, I know.
