I participate and it isn't like there's a check box where one said "pay an additional $100" and the other said "leave yourself open for really pretty easy future credit theft for the rest of your life". I know

I think the apps you mention are all 3+ orders of magnitude more used than an app like Trips.

I don't think the lack of sources make it "not an essay". You can dispute the value of the writing, but it's a bit weird to think it's pompous to use words with the definition of the most common usage: Essay 1. A sh

I think that's an uncharitable view of the author's choice of words. He also doesn't even use "thesis" in the way you imply, he refers to "the thesis of the essay", which unambiguously is the meaning of th

When I was in Japan there were some cases of four 7/11s visible at once without turning my head, so I think you can set your sights a lot lower than a one mile radius.

I don't think easier and simpler are necessarily aligned. Ancient hunter/gather life could be said as simpler, but also could be brutally difficult compared to all of the modern luxuries.

Stadia controller connects directly to WiFi to the remote server though, so it sounds like the Chromecast or whatever isn't even getting the local inputs to do such tricks.

Presumably they can still set that as a device policy.

It's likely been installed on more than a million devices too.

Can you clarify the flow that doesn't involve github and also doesn't involve mailing lists?

When I worked on a mobile C++ project at Google, we went exceptionally out of our way to avoid memory issues. We ran under valgrind and multiple sanitizers (and continuously ran those with high coverage unit and integration tests). We ran f

> 3. The input to a sorting algorithm like abacus sort is a list of numbers. Even if there are n numbers, the number of "beads" you need to simulate is exponentially proportional to the length of the longest single number. I th

Christ, that site is probably the worst ad-laden/features promos experience on mobile that I've seen.

The thing that happens in practice is the site is expected to be rebuilt on short timelines and at the end you find that it isn't trivial to make it work on other browsers. And the engineers don't even have machines that can reach

Yeah, the main difference is that usually these vms can be deliberately written to be nonportable to things like emulators and headless browsers, making it a lot harder to just execute the same code at scale.

I mean it doesn't really "make" them in a demeaning way, it's just a goofy tradition.

Do you see capping at 100x returns as reducing profit motives? As in, a dastaradly profiteerer would be attracted to a possible 1000x investment but scoff at the mere 100x return?

You mean like a tracking pixel? The issue here is that all requests to the ad domain can be blocked by the ad blocker.

What's an example of a language where the second would be more expensive than the first?

I switched about 10 years ago and can still touch type qwerty as well (and need to do so fairly often). I haven't seriously considered going back, but I don't know that there is even any ergonomic advantages much less speed ones.

If the first html load isn't on SSL, and someone is able to intercept your traffic, they can change the embedded https url to be a non-https url anyway, so I can't even imagine the attack that is prevented by using https into some

There's no reason the government wants to promote long-term investment over income-producing labor, is there?

Sometimes just fixing the rough edges with syntactic sugar can provide a lot of value. Like, CoffeeScript got pretty far with that strategy. Honestly, a lot of the best TypeScript features could be described the way you describe it.

The problem is that regular sites that I plan to visit exactly once are just throwing up the banner. I have seen the add to home screen banner dozens of times and clicked it never. It would quite obviously be better for me if the banner did
