Use a DAWG as a map
#!/usr/bin/python3
# By Steve Hanov, 2011. Released to the public domain.
# Please see http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=115 for the accompanying article.
#
# Based on Daciuk, Jan, et al. "Incremental construction of minimal acyclic finite-state automata."
# Computational linguistics 26.1 (2000): 3-16.
#
# Updated 2014 to use DAWG as a mapping; see
# Kowaltowski, T.; CL. Lucchesi (1993), "Applications of finite automata representing large vocabularies",
# Software-Practice and Experience 1993

Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.
//
// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.

Allows installing the ubuntu "fuse" package without creating any devices. Used to install packages on docker which require fuse but do not actively use it.
...
# Fake a fuse install
RUN apt-get install libfuse2
RUN cd /tmp ; apt-get download fuse
RUN cd /tmp ; dpkg-deb -x fuse_* .
RUN cd /tmp ; dpkg-deb -e fuse_*
RUN cd /tmp ; rm fuse_*.deb
RUN cd /tmp ; echo -en '#!/bin/bash\nexit 0\n' > DEBIAN/postinst
RUN cd /tmp ; dpkg-deb -b . /fuse.deb
