Help optimizing algorithm

I have a particular application that needs to calculate something very specific, and while I excel at logic, math has always been my weak spot. Given a number, say -20, it needs to apply a calculation of a 100 base (that is, the base is 100, not 0. not to be confused with base 100 which would be something else totally). In other words...

Python implementation question

Hey. I have a problem I'm trying to solve in Python and I can't think of a clever implementation. The input is a string of letters.

Fast formula for a "high contrast" curve.

My inner loop contains a calculation that profiling shows to be problematic. The idea is to take a greyscale pixel x (0 <= x <= 1), and "increase its contrast". My requirements are fairly loose, just the following: for x < .5, 0 <= f(x) < x for x > .5, x < f(x) <= 1 f(0) = 0 f(x) = 1 - f(1 - x), i.e. it should be "symmetric" Preferabl...

Formula/pattern to provide a unique 32 bit int that represents a 512 character file path?

Is there a common formula that could provide a unique value for a 512 character file path, assuming one 32 bit byte per character, and possibly limiting the characters used in the names? I know that if you just used uppercase letters alone the combination would be grossly more than a 32-bit int, but what about using an identity field wi...
