Squashing is nice because it keeps the amount of commits minimal, but as mentioned in the article, it has the problem that now reviewers have to figure out what changed since their last review, which can get hard to do if the tree of change

With async, things happening far away can completely prevent you from making progress, in which case you are better off doing something else in the meantime, like simply blocking and scheduling a thread from a different process as even the

Anything that happens far enough from the CPU is async, and here far probably means 10cm thanks to the speed of light not being fast enough, even in vacuum. So, any computation that spans a machine the size of our hands needs async unless y

Simply evaluate the breakdown lazily, although you are free to yield extra sub-tasks if it turns out to be cheap.

I'll take inexpressive ASCII over a character set that's too big and not universal, I don't want characters that are not obvious to type as they hurt reading, searching and understanding. At this point programming should be d

Sounds a bit like "new thing scary" unless you show why having select in front actually avoids problems, and I don't think there's a clear problem they avoid, but it does make it really hard to autocomplete (can you even

Wow, I didn't expect `c_str()` to write at all. I knew that C++ was wild before C++57, but before C++ is insane. Thanks for the explanation!
729.
by dietr1ch 2y ago
Shouldn't c_str() be null terminated? Then if it must point to the actual backing store, then that must also be a valid null terminated C string as there's no other way to use them.

I'm not sure what you mean by the initial graph being just all open, but I'm still convinced that modelling things only in the heuristic is wrong. Here's why it fails eventually, Hacking only the heuristic side will seem to w

by dietr1ch 2y ago
The heuristic is the wrong place to adjust solutions, just change the costs on the original problem and adjust the heuristic if necessary. I guess that for your intention, using an inconsistent heuristic that over-estimated costs and result

You wanted educational visualizations and you got them, but keeping the code organized to allow students to inspect it seems way more important than optimizing, especially if you are already using a slow language.

Yeah, I used it about 7-8 years ago. I liked the idea of chaining things, but it's very clear that csv has not been holding up well in the past decades. Also, what I have in mind for file sharding needs maybe a standard on top of a rec

I think that we just need someone to get fed up and simply tackle the list of well known problems of CVS. What we need is, - A standard (yeah, link xkcd 927, it's mentioned enough that I can recall it's ID) to be announced **a

There's gotta be errors on both sides, now the question is if we are assessing their risks properly or not. Maybe giving a shot to a low risk thing you read on the internet is worth a try, and maybe booking a doctor visit and getting e

I passed my physics classes refusing to evaluate the final expressions, after all that's what calculators and computers are for. I don't feel that had a huge impact on my grades either and my sanity/stubbornness went unharmed

It'd be great, but I think that we are not ready for this yet. Think on how long we needed to make the idea of having good tooling, cross-compiling support, testing or debugging support a requirement. A library or even built-in languag

He might be referring to the problem that URLs are not enough to get to a certain state, which you might run into when trying to share a specific view or when your browser heavily unloads your tab. I found this to be the biggest issue when
