   Dunno if this is where you're coming from, but working in 32-bit isn't that wacky. For example a very popular microcontroller [0] is 32-bit. EDIT: definitely not "maybe the most" popular [0]: https://en.wikipe

   There's not a lot of difference between the algorithm interview and the leetcode interview--leetcode is just a story problem around some kind of basic algorithmic problem. I've done multiple interviews where they use some site and

   But this isn't what the leetcode interview tests for. Reversing a binary tree, or figuring out how to arrange the parking lot to fit the most cars or whatever isn't a working understanding, it's essentially memorization. Bein

   I was also thinking, you know how us Xennials are like, "we can't compete with the kids in video games anymore, they have tons of free time to practice + reflexes". I think that factors in here too. When I was "peak&quot

   They're not painting engineers as evil are they? I think all the articles I've read are basically about Boeing execs. TFA only talks about "management". > Everything today is just hyperbalized and emotionally cranked

   I really enjoyed the "Zooming Out" section, a lot of good food for thought in there.

    Dear lazyweb: I think I read something about Postel's Law being essential to the internet's success -- maybe this was also IPv6 related? Does anyone else remember this?

    I think it would be clearer if the "description" sections didn't wrap under the "header" sections (e.g. when you narrow the page the descriptions wrap and display to the left of their headers, which is real weird).

    I switched from netrw to NERDtree because netrw had mysterious bugs on macOS and I wanted a consistent interface. I'm not in love with it, but it does what I want.

    "." is wonderful, but let me tell you that I bit down and learned macros a few years back, and boy oh boy has that saved me... so much time. They're complicated, but I can say it's worth it.

    Nah, if I see something on screen I want to go to, I type /thing_I_want_to_go_to<enter>. I finish that before I would even touch the mouse with my palm (or touchpad with my fingers) because I never have to leave home row.

    Vim has substitution: %s/thingamabob/doodad/g You can put regexes in there, so for 99% of cases you're fine. In neovim (but not in vim) this will also show you a "multicaret" UI. This is also just one mode of s

    Yeah I think generally what people mean here is, "if I'm aware that freeing objects takes time, I expect to spend that time when I free the objects, not at some undetermined point in the future". That's not the case if y

    My point here is that this stuff is infecting the things I do use. Same with having to have shit like "extern C" in C code because of C++.

    Not to jump too far down this hole here, but the only difference between an Ansible playbook, a Dockerfile, and postgresql.conf is format (indeed you're probably pretty likely to somehow jam a postgresql.conf file into your configurati

    Oh all I'm saying is you can set the conf file to read-only. Basically this entire feature is "we want a nice error message".
