Upgrade to at least 0.8.4

Using newer compiler versions and the optimizer gives gas optimizations and additional safety checks for free!

The advantages of versions 0.8.* over <0.8.0 are:

Safemath by default from 0.8.0 (can be more gas efficient than some library based safemath).
Low level inliner from 0.8.2, leads to cheaper runtime gas. Especially relevant when the contract has small functions. For

OS X iMessage (Messages) database merger

Use it at your own risk! You might end up worse than before. Backup everything beforehand. Twice.

If you have the Messages app setup in multiple Macs with the same Apple ID you may end up with iMessages (or SMS) scattered around all of these Macs. This is because after a certain time the new iMessages (or SMS) recevied will cease to push to devices afer a certain time has elapsed. Thus, if a computer has been offline for some period of time it won't get the new iMessages.

Each Messages instance stores the information in a SQLite database, to consolidate all these databases run the script below. This is where the Messages app stores the SQLite database under ~/Library/Messages, the folder contents will look like as follows:

chat.db

Algorithm to find readings about algorithms

(as found among published New York Times articles)

The file fetch_nyt_articlesearch_api.py is a Python 3.4+ (w/ Requests) script that queries for the New York Times articlesearch.v2 API for all articles containing "algorithms" as a subject and more than 700 words.

Saves each time period of articles as a JSON file.
Requires a NYT developers API key for articlesearch API: developer.nytimes.com/signup
requires an environmental variable, NYT_ARTICLE_SEARCH_KEY

The script is hardcoded to fetch results from 1800 to today (2016-05-24), which returns 1,653 results.
