You're right, of course. What I meant to say is I was significantly below 100% (around 80) on every single core. Therefore I really thought it couldn't have been a CPU bottleneck (since one would assume it could have scaled at lea

As entirely anecdotal evidence, I upgraded from a 2500k (that I'd been running at 4.5GHz) to a 3600 and the perceived difference in speed is phenomenal. At ~€400 for CPU+Motherboard+RAM it's also great value. Every day work just f

Not OP, but I also have some quarrels there. For example, I can—to my knowledge—not use my preferred keyboard layout [0] on an external keyboard. NEO does not come built-in and I haven't found any way to add new layouts except by repla

I must say I was quite surprised when I read this comment. In Germany we have FinTS [1] with an open specification and I'm not aware of a single bank that doesn't support it. It's been around since 2002 [2] and is based on HB

This, and issues like it, bug me so much. So many keyboard shortcuts are unusable by default on QWERTZ, for example any shortcuts involving /, [ or ]. They require modifiers to be typed, so those are swallowed for shortcut purposes. Of

They do in Europe. Since 9/13 it is mandatory for online transactions with some exceptions. The implementation is up to the bank, so can take different forms. In my case my bank has an app which will show the transaction and I can then

WSL2 is already available in the Windows Insiders Fast Ring. It is, indeed, a VM running on top of HyperV.

Note that while this might not be a smooth UX, you can remove/disable Bixby via ADB without root and install your favorite button remapped from the play store in a few minutes to remap single, double and long press.

I sincerely hope so as well. I'm just at the end of the trial period and I'll likely take the plunge, but not having access to Gmail would be very inconvenient. They say they'll fix it, but seeing the requirements I'm no

In Germany the acceptance for credit cards only became large scale after the interchange fee was limited. Today, most stores that accept card payments also accept credit cards, but only MasterCard and Visa. Using an AMEX as your primary car

The providers don't ask for that information because they want to, they do it because they have to by law. You'll have the exact same issue with eSIMs. The carriers could still sell you a SIM and plan, but the administrative overh

It's not just the creators, it's also the backers. As soon as I am receiving something in return it's no longer purely a donation, but a purchase in some jurisdictions. This means, as a backer, I need to pay VAT (in Germany).

So the app would need write permissions to its own folder. That's obviously a bad idea in a production deployment. I guess I was thinking that the dependencies would be installed during a privileged one-time "deployment run"

by Cu3PO42 8y ago
Not that I was going to say this is a good idea in the first place, but rolling back vulnerable dependencies is an excellent point that I hadn't thought of. Thanks!

by Cu3PO42 8y ago
I don't disagree that this doesn't seem necessarily secure and the auto dependency resolution is a bad idea for other reasons in my opinion, but I don't see the security aspect of it. The moment I can upload files to the appl

We have a national network in Germany. It’s called girocard and has debit cards only. You get one from your bank by default for every checking account. Transaction fees are very low at ~0.25%. They double as an ATM card and are usually co-b

In my formal languages course in Germany we covered various computational models and showed the equivalences to Turing Machines. We never built complex TMs by hand, only describing how they would work. I did, however, build larger TMs by ha

You're right. What I meant to say is that for any (formal) regular expression, we can compile it to a DFA and then match any strings in time linear in the length of the string. Certainly the pattern length matters both for pre-processi

I didn't mean to insinuate that it was. The Rust RegEx engine was simply the first that came to mind for me. What I did intend to say that if this is indeed the optimisation that Nevod claims it has, it is not the first to do it. Howev

by Cu3PO42 8y ago
That sounds very much like what Rust's RegEx engine does. I understand it extracts longer literals (when available) to find a starting point for where a match might be according to [1]. [1] https://blog.burntsushi.net/r

The claims seem dubious to me as well. What exactly does faster mean here? Since a speedup of two orders of magnitude is mentioned I'm assuming it refers to matching speed. Is it faster than PCRE? Is it faster than some other engine or

I would definitely agree with your assessment of the target audience. I'm not sure if it's enough, though (depending on what it's enough for). I think it's enough for someone who is just trying to understand the basics,

I don't disagree. My main complaint with the content of the article would be that they chose to introduce the cache at virtually the same time as memory in general. I found it very easy to follow for the most part and it gave some good

I recently looked into them. You can have up to 5 on their premium plan. But these are still "normal" debit cards with no limits beyond the funding of your account. The service that privacy.com offers is different in that it allow

You can dispute CC charges in Europe as well. All of my cards specify that I should do this as soon as possible, but no later than one year after the charge. I have never needed a chargeback, but I had a peek at MasterCard's policy jus

According to their website you need either a US checking account or debit card, so for all intents and purposes, yes. If you're in (certain parts of) Europe, Revolut will offer you one-time use virtual debit cards if you're on one

This might be a regional thing, but I have never seen iTunes gift cards discounted where I'm from (Germany). What I've seen is that if you buy a gift card at face value, they give you an extra gift card for 10-15% of the value. An

Not the OP, but I think what they are referring to is the following: def foo(): return bar if ...: bar = 42 print(foo()) else: print(foo()) If ... evaluates to a truthy value, bar will be defined and foo() will
