AFAIK there isn't any great way. pg_similarity etc. offer useful functions, but that doesn't help with big-O here. And the indexing capabilities that exist are only useful for geometry/geography, not abstract metric spaces (t

Roughly 1 in 5 workers do earn just that or very close to it. Easy to forget working in tech. But labor laws aren't just for in-demand techies. They are for everyone, including your cashier.

Hey, I'm the author of the article, I sneakily put that bit in just to see who notices the absurd of it. ;) But sorry for the resulting triple-takes!

I believe you're correct and "rotation" is just said colloquially

TBH there isn't even a domestic enforcement of cookie preferences, no one actually gives a damn it seems. Violations of handling personal data – fines do happen for that. Cookies – nope, you won't even get a notice.

TBH A24 are pretty exceptional. These days, outside of A24, I think there's better depth and quality in TV series overall. And TV is great visually too these days thanks to being all digital.

My quick test for a robot would be: does it have at least one appendage-like part performing a task? A washing machine has nothing like that, but a Kuka robot practically is a programmable arm, and Boston Dynamics robots have legs.

The government calling people subhuman simply because of what gender they prefer or feel like is far more twisted than some "not kissing the rainbow flag", and that's what's happening in Hungary or Poland receiving huge

Most of European cities are people living in flats and these are known for pretty good quality of life. Shops, cafes, schools, all nearby this way. I don't quite get the American urge to own houses even in the most populous places

You very much can return `undefined`, it's just that `return` only works inside of a function, not if you just copy the block of code into the console :)

The USD or practically all fiat currencies are an abstraction over barter. Obviously they are only worth as much as we all collectively believe, but that belief is anchored by what the currency primarily is used for, which normally is obtai

Terrorism very broadly kills a couple hundred people a year in the developed world, and has been around that for a long time. Obviously it's a bogus excuse most of the time. Meanwhile, this particular virus has correspondingly killed

Had the OnePlus X back in their's geekier days, I loved it. Never liked how big their flagships were, but the X was ideal and indeed affordable. Oxygen OS was pretty great, no Samsung-like bloat, just some nice features borrowed from c

Currently working at PostHog, an engineering-centric product-led startup (20-odd people currently) all our engineering teams fully own an aspect of the product and prioritize themselves. Obviously there's company-wide context and compa

Taxes are not abuse, especially not pensions or healthcare. You do realize that in all likelihood your parents benefit from both, and so will you, unless ofc you are a lot more wealthy than most citizens.

Well, Autobahnen weren't demolished after Hitler was gone, were they? It's absurd to destroy useful and valuable works just to spite a dead dictator. Swastikas obviously don't amount to that, but whole astounding subway stati

Okay, so really the question is, why are you still at that company and not looking around to switch to a better one?

It's entirely accurate - software development is a branch of engineering. The name doesn't come from a literal "engine" (though the origin is the same), it means "someone who contrives contraptions".

Well, US coastal tech seems to pay (almost) twice as much as Canadian cities, due to various reasons. That's a tough incentive to beat.
