As someone currently looking for a new job, I stopped bothering with cover letters because they didn't make the faintest of differences. After many dozens of rejections I am just burnt out about writing them.

Just FYI the 's got swallowed by the HN formatting and made the stuff inbetween italic. struct { char *name; char *value} can bypass the formatting by prepending 2 spaces

I thought fp was more avoiding mutability/reassigning values to identifiers What you wrote makes me think more of the point free style

Yeah, that seems like a fair way to put my feelings into words.

> This is the correct answer. Where does that saying come from? I keep seeing it in a lot of different contexts but it somehow feels off to me in a way I can't really explain.

I'd love to say yes, but it's basically unenforcable if the comment doesnt disclose it itself.

IMO the main problem with them is that actual competition isnt really possible. Most of the time, you just can't develop newer/denser housing where they are taking over neighbourhoods, so no real competition is possible which allo

Also what about individual sites having 99% uptime while behind CF with an uncorrelated uptime of 99.9%? Just because CF is up doesnt mean the site is

Yes, the current status is that cheaters can play distingushable from humans. But my point was more that, if we create a system that allows cheating that still is equivalent to a good player, then it just feels like playing against good pla

Am I understanding it correctly that those lambda functions are lexically bound rather than creating closures, in the "Open" section?

by Akronymus 10mo ago
If cheaters play indistingushable from normal people, the seems like mission accomplished.

I'd say that "normal" (notjunior, not senior) level people have the hardest time ATM. Most jobs are either for juniors or seniors, not inbetween (anecdotal data from my experience job hunting for the last year in austria)

what does pyramidal mean in this context?

I use that trick to still get the vector layout. No version past that is to my personal liking.

> Grid doesn't have it's own element like table does, so you have to use css to apply that display to a div. Well, OOTB, yeah. I personally like to make use of custom html elements a lot of the time for such things. Such as &l

I don't think it'd benefit HN at all at this time, as the country of origin just isnt relevant most of the time, and would just invite flamewars. I believe that flagging/downvoting is a good enough tool to deal with stuff, as

May I recommend de-arrow and sponsorblock as well?

With people properly using them or not? I am fairly certain that the vast majority comes from improper use (bypassing security measures, like riding on top of the cabin) or something going wrong during maintenance.

by Akronymus 11mo ago
I am genuinly sorry about that. And no, I am not happy about what I've done.

Tbh, I personally don't trust a stopped escalator. Some of the videos of brake failures on them scared me off of ever going on them.

One thing with dithering writeups that always bothered me: There never seems to be coverage of how to calculate colour similarity when there are multiple different colours involved, rather than just black and white gradients. I am trying to

Editorialized title to make it fit within the title length + make it less clickbaity.

Lichens pretty much were what created the first terrestrial organic material. Which in turn became soil for mosses which then built up the soil layer more and so on Pretty neat.

At most it'd act as a form of shielding, pretty sure. Even if it were to incorporate the uranium, the "best" effect you'd get is diffusion of the chunk.

With donations being blocked you keep sitting at 0, with chargebacks you can actually go negative, in a potentially unbounded way.
