I wasn't old enough to remember it, but when search engines tried to do this in the 90s, it became clear that people preferred machine recommendations. See yahoo directory, look smart.

Digraphs and Trigraphs seem pretty silly to me. Multiple inheritance is bad, but idk how much code would break if it were removed.

This would break if the site owner changed their domain name, or more likely, they have multiple domains that redirect to the same IP address. Is that a serious flaw?

Banned, or not recommended by the algorithm?

To be fair, the thing he started with was totally unreadable and fits on a business card and the thing he ended up with was readable, but didn't fit. It isn't apples-to-apples.

The second parameter in the gen_key function is the RSA public exponent. I believe this means the ciphertext will be the same as the padded plaintext. Here is the documentation from the RSA.gen_key() function. def gen_key(bits, e, cal

I agree, but I think this lesson needs qualification. If you know how to diagnose a bad drive and replace it, don't buy an iMac. The vast majority of people would need to bring a broken computer into a repair shop to replace the drive,

You must not like the term computer to refer to electronic computers because it already refers to a human profession. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(job_description)

I sure hope the haircut function mutates it's input, and doesn't return a clone whose hair is cut.

I taught python to some 5th-6th graders. I forgot what it was like to be that age - they're really slow at typing, and roughly as fast as an adult at mousing.

As a side note, Java also didn't ship with generics. Java was released in the mid 90s and didn't have generics until about 10 years later with version 5. This timing should feel familiar - Go first appeared ~10 years ago in 2009.

Paying for code on a per word basis is a bad idea. Enterprise fizzbuzz would look concise in comparison to the results of such a policy.

I'm not familiar with the history or the closed-source feature set of chrome. This [1] search result shows rather minor features compared to a browser - codecs, flash player, auto-update (I suppose this is a big deal on non-linux). VSC

The closed-source nature of VSCode is a little more practically important than you make it out to be. It prevents Linux distros from including VSCode in their package managers (except non-free categories, usually disabled by default). And m

No comment on the authors other claims, but VSCode is not open source. "Code - OSS" is the open base upon which VSCode is built. VS Code's branding, telemetry and more are closed-source. See https://github.com&#x2F

I think you're generally correct, but that games studios and animators don't care much about refraction specifically (although it does make for cool tech demos). They care more about reflection and lighting in general (spotlights

All issues dealing with undefined behavior (UB), segfaults and the like are currently closed. Actix-Web makes use of unsafe (as high-performance Rust usually does) so there could be some UB hiding.

Why did you pick Rocket? For example, Actix-Web is a viable alternative that works on a stable compiler.
87.
by correct_horse 7y ago
I totally agree that Rocket requiring nightly is a deal-breaker for production. I suspect the author picked Rocket because it feels more beginner friendly than alternatives. Actix-web is in 2.0. The original author stepped away recently, bu

Idk how well-known this is, but Java 4 was actually Java 1.4. At Java 5, they dropped the "one point" marketing, but still called it 1.5 to devs. I'm not sure how this was resolved, or if there will ever be a Java 2.x (I doub

Thanks for sharing. It's encouraging that something at least resembling what I came up with was considered.
