Programming Contest: Fit pictures on a page

GLOSSY: The Summer Programmer Of The Month Contest is underway!
Deadline is September 30, 2005
http://dinsights.com/POTM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love taking digital pictures, but that nice glossy photo paper
is expensive! So when my lovely wife asks for prints of a bunch
of pictures, I always try and fit them onto a single piece of paper.

The summer POTM challenges you to write a program that will place up to
26 pictures on a sheet of paper with the least amount of leftover
space.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Programmer Of The Month (POTM) is a just-for-fun programming
contest with an active forum and over 1100 members (we usually
get 40-50 entries for each POTM challenge). Supported languages
include C/C++/Perl/Ruby/PHP/Python/awk/shell.
Emphasis is on the algorithms and the joy of programming.

If it sounds like fun, please visit at http://dinsights.com/POTM ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
