This is one that blew my mind back in the day, compare these two quicksort implementations: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithms/Quicksort#C https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sorting_alg

I'm salty that they where ever implemented in the first place.

The reason you don't list android user on your resume is that it's very difficult to use android (or iOS) for anything beyond passive consumption of content which is not something employers want.

Alert was always annoying, but it was never as annoying as sites asking for notification permissions.

Slack isn't free, they sell you history-in effect, you generate the data that they sell back to you.

Good UI and workflow are the main selling points for DAWs since at the end of the day they'll all be using the same VSTs.

Not to mention the amount of time experiments take-suppose we want to know if a drug prevents an illness that takes decades to develop? Sure you can model it in a mouse, but to do that you need to know exactly what the parameters of your mo

There's something to be said for a tool that a novice can use (my first hand written recursive descent parser was, no joke, because I wasn't up to the task of including a json library in my Java project) but still useful for profe

The original core audience was Paul Graham fans as far as I know. I think I found HN because it was the thing Arc was used for.

Godot is the leading open source engine right now. It has a rust community. Lumberyard is iirc a CryEngine derivative which... maybe I'm biased but the two games I know in that ecosystem are MechWarrior Online and Star Citizen and neit

You can get a switch that lets you select between HDMI signals, and quick-disconnect magnetic USB cables, that's how I deal with this problem. Realistically I don't switch it more than once a day; during work hours I don't ne

I worked for a healthcare company where the deal was you could get email on your phone but only if you installed am app that would allow IT to remote-wipe your whole device at their discretion. I declined.

It's very much a taste thing. TA-likes are a whole different kind of RTS and demand a different type of skill. SCs reward quick thinking whereas TAs seem to much more reward overwhelming scale. I can usually counter my way out of a pro

I don't see as very different from a wallhack if it's any good if it's an in game overlay. I suppose if it's an offline thing that you can study but need to apply yourself that's no more of a cheat than any other pr

Is an AI that aimbots by predicting player moves with uncanny accuracy really that different from a regular old aimbot?

Additional uncertainty arising from randomness in MP settings reduces the impact of skill (ie memorizing the map) so pvp designs tend to shy away from them, especially in the more esports focused side like CS. There are definitely some skil

I had to build a fairly robust wrapper over a feature-poor GUI framework once, and it effectively sunk the project. I'd been cloning a different project which shipped in months because it used a native gui framework. Now I'm much

The march away from language continues. Facial expressions may be a rich form of communication but the kinds of ideas you can communicate with them are severely restricted. Literacy was hard won and now it seems like we're letting it g

While Postgres works fine on macs, being able to run MySQL in a docker container and not have to deal with actually keeping it running on our macs has been a huge time saver.

Because of the domain I was hoping this was going to be a hardware guide. But I really do appreciate this type of in depth emulation tutorial, because the documentation for these is usually geared towards people who A) are very familiar wit

I think it probably is age related because I feel the same way about the iMac G3. That machine was kicking around schools well beyond its actual useful life. Even when they upgraded them to OSX the OS9 login screen was still burned into the

We use Json in our Python projects and Avro in our Java projects. We have considered Avro, CSV, Protobuff or CapnProto for the Python projects but it's never been enough of a win for us to prioritize it. We switched to Pydantic from di

Much of our codebase is python microservices communicating via Kafka. Once you get past the hurdle of getting kafka connected it's pretty reliable. We have a shared library for producing and consuming so we don't need to reinvent

I especially like second hand book sales at libraries/estate sales/etc because it totally derisks the purchase. For two bucks I won't feel guilty if I don't finish it. By the same token, though, I try to honestly look at
