The anecdote I keep coming back to is how they said that people they fired had "graduated" truly a perverse occlusion of material reality.

Hmmmm maybe you're thinking of entscheidungsproblem.js? This is a fork of that.

We started with a blacklist to match against while(1), while(true), for(;;), etc, but we eventually found an eslint plugin (goedel.js) that nicely tells you if the code contains an infinite loop or recursion.

Yeah I immediately checked that after commenting since it's exactly the off-by-half thing I never get right without checking and yup, you can end up with a never used code path. What a rollercoaster. Ah well. For this particular thing

WAIT my turn to eat crow here: that "should never happen" -1 return statement actually does happen when the search value is greater than the greatest value in the array: https://ellie-app.com/byQ8vnnGTLba1

> I'm unconvinced about array access returning Maybe being a good idea, because it's generally a bug, not actual uncertainty. So that's the thing: in JS (where I spend most of my time) I never wrap an array access in a try

"We are engaged" is passive though. Specifically its form is passive: be + past participle. But its meaning is more reflexive than anything else. I don't know what the subject of that sentence would be in an active constructi

That said: you are right that the inner -1 should never happen. But why are we binary searching in the first place? Maybe we should have stored the values as a set and then called Set.member; it's extremely rare to actually even use Ar

I think you're misreading it. It only returns a value _other_ than -1 when the value at mid is equal to the search value. It returns -1 when the number is not found in the array. See here: https://ellie-app.com/byLXrykw

-1 seems ok here. The algo is returning the index at which the array contains the search value; returning -1 is a pretty normal way of indicating that there is no such index. She could of course change the search function to return a Maybe

Elm (not mainstream, I concede) wraps list and array access in a Maybe (aka an Option if you're more familiar with ocaml) so there's no throwing or erroring when you try to get what's not there. Kinda pleasant.

I strongly encourage everyone who uses these apps to try delivering for them for a night or two. Just get a feel for what it's like. I do it as a hobby kind of and they're all bad for their various reasons. Uber Eats tells you wha

My parents live in the same city as me. I'll probably spend the day before thanksgiving in line to get a rapid swab, then bike to their place and eat some bird.

I could see this being the time when they prevent 3rd party OSes using some kind of code signing/hardware verification, idk what. But that's speculation, no need to prematurely come up with things to be mad/disappointed about

You make a good point that I grafted the "lone holdout" connotation onto your plain statement about being armed. All other things being equal then yes the armed contingent can have the stuff belonging to the unarmed contingent

If it's any consolation, the type of person to do that is the type to have their house burned down around them because the solo king-of-the-castle, all plunder survival strategy has a very limited lifespan.
