This works until they either switch back to their original app or get a new phone and don't install signal on it. If you stop using Signal you need to deregister your phone number from the service, but many people don't know or ca

It's not exactly the same, but that's pretty comparable to a g-counter CRDT, which is very straightforward to implement in a purely-functional language: https://github.com/QuinnWilton/distsys_training/blo

It's a little bit different from the other resources I've linked, but "Elements of Programming" [0] is another excellent (though incredibly challenging) read. It's written by Alexander Stepanov, and basically walks

You'd likely be more interested in the original paper [0] by John Hughes that Wadler built off of. It gets into a ton more detail about the algebraic structure of the documents they're defining: > The question addressed in this

Philip Wadler has a seminal paper [0] on implementing pretty printers by modeling them using an algebra. There's implementations of the algorithm in most programming languages nowadays, and some state of the art advances that help with

I don't know what Jane Street does, and can't speak for them. That being said, I've heard of some firms using the JVM that just tune things such that the garbage collector will never trigger, and then they restart the VM ever

I'd guess because if someone is building something in their free time they're likely to build it either using whatever technology is most fun for them, or using whichever framework they're most excited to learn. For most fron

I also enjoy sped up videos, especially for lectures, but if you preprocess videos to speed them up, make sure to also include the original videos. Students that don't speak your language natively, for example, may be handicapped by fa

It's not the people using HackerOne to be concerned about. It's the ones who don't use HackerOne because they realize they'd get more money on the black market. When it comes to vulnerabilities with a large enough impact

I just typed "Aeron" into Craig's List and chose a seller. I think they delivered out of San Mateo. The going rate seemed to be $300 - $400 depending on whether you needed delivery or not.

You're completely right; I accidentally dropped the word "higher-kinded" in front of polymorphism. Go's interfaces provide structural typing, which offers polymorphism over values. Typeclasses in comparison, offer polymo

I bought a refurbished Herman Miller Aeron today on Craig's List for $350, with same day delivery. It might just be a Bay Area thing, but Craig's List was crawling with them. I'm guessing it's all the failing businesses

Ah, I completely misunderstood what was going on with the quad swap at the start. Rereading it makes more sense. Thanks!

I've never seen a sorting algorithm that uses a non-binary comparison function to order values. Is that a novel technique? It seems really obvious in hindsight, so I'm sure there's just prior art I don't know about.
