My algorithmic approach: You spend a fixed amount of time, if no choice could be made during this period, then flip the coin. The fixed amount of time could be as short as five seconds. Or the amount that makes sense to you, and you feel co

It needed a database engine to take advantage of it.

I so agree with you. Containers are just a very wasteful way to do static linking.

by Shorel 4y ago
Dependency hell exists because people still think static linking was not a great idea. All this while Rust, go, and all the new kids on the block use only static linking. Because static linking is a great idea. If you can update a library,

I learned to use the TI-89 in an android emulator, last year, and I find it more useful than the ad-filled native Android apps available as an alternative. The thing solves symbolic matrix equations like it's nothing. Awesome investmen

I have both a Kobo reader and a Pocketbook reader. Both are great, both can read CBZ/CBR comic book formats, have custom fonts, get all books via WiFi sync. Lately I use the Pocketbook more because it synchronizes the book reading page

The reality is that today's job market is not ten-years-ago market. Employers and companies can't find enough developers to satisfy the demand. They should provide a bit of wiggle room and train internally as well. Three months ge

That's not proven. Not even a little. Dolphins most probably are sentient, and we still can't communicate with them well enough to talk about arithmetic. Even if some animals can figure out small numbers, anything over 7 is just t

With a modern Intel processor, it was much faster to go through a 10k integers array than sort it first and then do binary search. The small N is not that small anymore, and the difference speed between stack and heap is bigger now than eve

It would be like upgrading the train network to increase the distance between rails, to increase the size of cargo that can be transported. Not just one city needs the upgrade, all of them will need it, and all the related infrastructure li

I know this as memoization with lazy evaluation, nothing new, but at the same time very useful, and I would argue, it is very CS.

A massive increase in the offer will mean the price of these NFTs will tend towards zero.

Both things, the coffee and the memories, are important to me. And I don't see the post about being one, or the other. I see the post about the common point where these two meet, and reinforce each other.

I like Twinning's English Breakfast tea with a particular amount of milk and sweetener. It is a very specific flavour. Not because it is the best tea. I like it because the only times I drank it, when I was a child, I was with my grand

This is the correct answer. It is a group of people reporting the post, not ML, the cause of this problem.

To me, this is the epitome, the Magnum opus of propaganda. Corporations convinced the public to vote against green energy, and the public does! Democracy would be much better if our brains were equipped against such practices.

Development is development. Video games are not "serious", yet any C++ developer getting their chops in video game programming is not shunned for it.

Then keep it internal. As soon as it was published in an article, it was no longer internal, just a code name.

And you would be right. Grumpy old men complaining no one in the company is able to write good enough queries. We got rid of them when we migrated from Oracle to AWS Aurora.

FWIW I refuse to use docker except to "experiment" with another distro dependencies or libraries. I see it as a waste of limited hardware resources, unless it is used for lightweight servers.

I think the issue is not that quality doesn't matter. If any, it matters more than anything. The issue is, execs have no idea at all of what is quality. In fact, they more often than not lower the quality of the films and series with t

He's just straw manning the argument. And this is ignoring the time lost watching WebKit process the same thousands of one-liner dependencies over and over. Instead of the almost instantaneous tools written in go.

He can replace minify and sed with Hugo and now everything is well maintained instead of custom. He even uses make instead of any of the reinvented square wheels used in JS!
