Heh, that reminds me of my first bank account. They told me I had something called "overdraft protection", which I stupidly assumed would protect me from overdrafting my account by declining transactions. Then I forgot to deposit

Relatedly: knowing what it is that you don't know. If you're self-learning, you need to pick what you're going to learn from. Which means, ultimately, you need to pick what you will learn. If you don't know what it is (o

Interesting, thank you! I suspect then that defining it at x*x is just just because it's easier to type than x.powi(2).

As far as CPU instructions go, multiplication is _significantly_ faster (i.e. an order of magnitude) than exponentiation. That said, I can't speak to whether the Rust compiler wouldn't just optimize that away -- it seems like unro

Because the author hasn't packaged it for you. Cargo is what you'll need to build this from source.

It is much easier to see if you do not fullscreen it. Keep it relatively small, and if you still don't see them, unfocus your eyes just a little bit. Good luck!

It is responding to the parent comment, which says: > if you don’t pay for gmail, Google doesn’t owe you access to your email or any service at all.

Am I missing something? 0x.co looks basically like a simple bit.ly clone but that accepts non-urls too. You need to be online to perform a lookup, and can only look it up on 0x.co. If the website goes down, if the database gets lost, if you

I need to use a MacBook Pro for work. Discovering that there is an option to make scrollbars always visible when there is scrolling to be done was, by a significant margin, the best QOL improvement I have discovered. This happens to me so o

I share the sentiment and the frustration. That said, if you read far down enough in the thread, it's pretty clear that the OP has very, very unrealistic expectations about others' obligations to him, and very incorrect notions ab

Okay so this is shockingly impressive. For those of you who are thinking "eh, I like my `ssh -D8080 user@1.2.3.4` solution", sshuttle has the following two advantages: 1. no need to configure your SOCKS proxy in your applications

Generally speaking, in this context "non-trivial" means more than $10,000 - $15,000 at once. 10 is where various paper-trail requirements start to kick in (at least in the United States) and things start to get a little more compl

Can't you though? SELECT 2+2 as num FROM <table> HAVING num > 3; this will return as many 4s as there are rows in the table SELECT 2+2 as num FROM <table> HAVING num > 4; this will return 0 rows. How

I'm confused, this doesn't seem right. This article, and several of the comments here, suggest that you cannot reference things calculated during SELECT in the HAVING field. But you can. As a quick demo, pick your favorite table a

While technically correct, this distinction is often muddied in colloquial speech when saying that a particular point is "in" an Xth percentile. I suppose it might also depend on which direction you orient your scale on the axis ;

You might, if you wanted to make the number sounds more impressive... the smaller the perceived value, the stronger the point he's making, so he's trading clarity for more punch. Not saying that that's a good move, but I thin

> if percentile refers to tenths It doesn't, percentile refers to percents. Tenth percentile means is the 10%, twentieth percentile means the 20%, etc.
384.
by chias 7y ago
I think you misunderstand what "percentile" means here, though it is indeed worded obtusely. When you say you're in the "tenth percentile", that means you're in the top 10%, not the top 0.1%. As such, when the

While the content is interesting, by far the most useful thing I learned from this article is that you can turn off unobtrusive scrollbars on a mac. I have to use one at work, and turning off this feature makes me hate my computer less by a

This is exactly the boat that I was in for a number of years. I also have a few security concerns regarding bad practices of theirs that they essentially told me they didn't care about. About a month ago I switched to BitWarden and it&

N64 only supported up to 240p, or in rare cases, 480i, which is basically the same thing computationally. Displaying on higher resolution just involves scaling (or up-sampling, but at that kind of resolution jump scaling is probably more ap

IMO the point of this article is pretty clearly to answer the developer question "my application needs to read and write data, should I use the filesystem or should I use a sqlite db?" and not make some kind of sweeping "sqli
