Many other languages have similar mechanisms to the Java streams API. Scheme, and probably Lisp in general, is well known for it. Then we have Ruby, Crystal, Python, D, JavaScript... I can't think of other languages that have something

In Java, the closest alternative that's part of the standard language is streams. Off the top of my head, it goes something like this: List<Integer> numbers = number_list.stream().filter(number -> number > 3).collect(Collec

Perhaps you should consider negotiating a higher salary. One of the attractions of tech jobs in the US is that their salaries tend to be a fair bit higher than in Europe, so if you're already earning the same amount, it might be worth

Well, as mentioned, I got a whole list of different compile-time options to try - no-this and no-that, but the executable still crashed in the end.

Ah, well, it must have been zig c++, then, necessarily. Was I planning to file an upstream bug? I was unaware. I did contact them about it, actually, but it wasn't solved at the time.

Not that this is terribly relevant to the discussion, but back in the day, I did try compiling bzflag with zig cc and then with clang, and the first executable crashed, while the second worked. Despite being told numerous compile-time optio

Apparently a newer version of the PDF can be found on the university's website, and the "destroys RSA" phrase isn't found there either: https://twitter.com/ManishEarth/status/1366906561486983171

That does put it into perspective. Perhaps one shouldn't be too quick to dismiss it outright.

I suppose you're right. After all, one is a one-time cost, and the other is an ongoing cost. So that's a positive thing, at least.

That's a good point. It doesn't make me more optimistic about the situation, but it's certainly a good observation.

As far as licences go, though, the terms and conditions regulating usage of OpenStreetMap now fill not three documents, but three SECTIONS on the OpenStreetMap Foundation's wiki. However liberal these licences may be, for the money it

HTML also has elements such as <video>, <object> and <embed>, some of which have existed for many years already. As far as I'm aware, browsers are free to play any media files included via these tags directly, without

That's not the case at all. Ecommerce is mainly a serverside application. At most, doing everything serverside would introduce some extra lag.

1. No, I don't miss them. Quite the opposite: Having to handle people who constantly felt the need to provide "feedback" and "input" used to be a big distraction, which is now more manageable due to the slightly hig

Your assumption would certainly be a reasonable one, though in today's world, who knows? Many mobile phones, for instance, now try to introduce additional "terms and conditions" before they're willing to work. Who wants

Call me old-fashioned, but does anyone else find it a bit strange that one needs to log in in order to use a display device? That Oculus had better have some pretty special pixels, if they need a network connection to even be visible.

The problem with Plus Codes is that they aren't codes - they're half a code, with the most significant bits cut off and replaced with a location name that often is only found in Google Maps. If these codes are ever going to be use

And let's not forget what kind of treatment awaits you if by some astronomical coincidence you do get hired. There are some shit jobs out there. Highly paid shit jobs, though. So we've got that going for us.

After 20 years of programming professionally, you may have found that a good few of the products you're making and tools you're using aren't ones you specifically enjoy. You may have found yourself at one or more jobs that we

I remember working around Riven's disk swapping problem by mounting all of the disks at once in five virtual CD-ROMs. To prevent audio and video crashes, the entire game had to run on one single CPU core. Finally, there was a part when

You could just say what you just told us - that you took a break for a medical reason, and then chose to take some extra time off. There is something to be said for not trying too hard, but focusing on going to interviews and enjoying the e

Regarding the speed, meow_hash is certainly performant, but when hashing a single file, b3sum actually seems to be faster, perhaps due to using more threads. Could meow_hash be made even faster by running more operations in parallel? time ~

There is one significant problem with how Open Location Codes are being used and promoted by Google. Try to find the following place on Bing or OpenStreetMap without using Google's services: 9MHR+PW Retkowy, Poland The 9MHR+PW part is

Wow! I take it back! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17623870 gives the character 𬎆. But for whatever reason, 㼆 and 𬎆 are not marked as variants of one another.

For what it's worth, it's there in Unicode, but only in traditional Chinese, so it's 張㼆 or nothing.

On second, thought, though, after looking at the paper at finmin's suggestion, I agree that their definition is distinct from randomness in a meaningful and interesting way.
