I don't know man, if I have to do another std::chrono::duration_cast, i might chuck my computer out of a window.

<random> and <chrono> have really been in a death match of "C++ standard libraries that are super-annoyingly C++", but they've both been absolutely destroyed by <range>, i think.

I think the utility is more with experimenting with distributed computing technologies in a relatively affordable way, with hardware that is familiar and simple to set up.

Most importantly, Sony takes a cut on every game sold for the system.

The reason you use CSV is that you want to use it with software that ISN'T Excel. Otherwise you'd just use .xlsx. No other software uses this convention, and it's not correct CSV.

You're missing the point. Apple makes money by people buying their products, and Apple sells more products when people trust them. Therefore, they have a strong financial incentive to be trustworthy and at least appear to care about us

If you want the wrapping behaviour (like with an LCG), you can prepend the operator with an ampersand(i.e &+ instead of +).

Yeah, fair enough, that's a reasonable scenario.

I don't know man, the top answer is clever, but it's also a pretty straight-forward UNIX way of doing it, and pretty easy to understand. Going around messing with trying to convert to filesystem blocks and obscure syscalls that on

How often do you use gzip verbose? I don't think I've ever used it. What's it good for?

string.find is implemented in C, not Lua. As far as Lua is concerned, that call is a single instruction.

I don't think you'd want to. One of the primary usages of this kind of thing would be like when you need to pass in some massive struct of options to some dumb API function (you know the ones!), and then you'd absolutely want

Another example is Abelian groups, which should just be called commutative groups. Though that example brings up a decent counterargument to the thesis: ”groups”, ”rings” and ”fields” all have descriptive names, but that doesn’t help a bit,

That's nothing to do with HN, that's just how the internet works.

Ranger is fantastic, if you're used to vim keys you should definitely check it out. It do all those things you mentioned, but honestly my favorite use of it is as a replacement for `cd`. If you run it with `. ranger` (which I have alia

Yeah, I don't usually include "this" when calling methods on the same object, but it's not like it enrages me or anything. I totally get why you would, and it's fine. I generally agree with "consistency is good

The way I was taught was that back in the olden days, "group" always referred to groups of permutations (and the operation was always composition), and it was Cayley that introduced the much more general and abstract notion of gro

Nobody here thinks that the law is a good idea or will do anything to protect any content industries. The fact is that despite being enormously stupid, it is still the law.

Yes, it's very different: if you split some error coded thing across several files, each individual file is going to give you some chunk of the data. It's not secret in any way, it's just that you've only got, like, 1&#x

I created an Emacs minor mode to make the ö/ä keys type square/curly brackets, but it’s not ideal.

No, you have to be more specific than "recursive functions", many recursive functions will see no such benefit. A simple example is factorial function: adding @lru_cache to that will only slow it down. This technique ("memoiz

It does not! It fails very early (I tested it once in Python, and it failed on something like F(70) or something) and should not ever be used for practical calculation of Fibonacci numbers. For small values, the iterative version works just

A good example is moving the camera: lets say you have a camera set to follow a particular character (in some fancy way), but you only update it in FixedUpdate(). If your framerate is faster than the physics update, FixedUpdate() will not b

Yes, exactly, all of this. I remember learning Java when I was beginning programming and told that it was "pass by reference except for primitive types which are copied", when that's a total lie! It's not pass by referen
