It might not be obvious, but the specified squares are "all the squares in the order right to left, top to bottom without those the queen can attack" as the text instructs.

Thank you. A few different SVN -> Git migration tools failed to migrate a large legacy repo at a previous employer. I thought I was doomed to be stuck on subversion forever. It was GitHub's migration that finally worked and got us m

Interesting, because it's clear from the recording (but not the article) that the taxi instruction was read back correctly, just not followed correctly.

TWenty years ago windows development was a lot simpler than modern browser applications. Fire up visual studio and create a new winforms project. You could literally drag and drop your way to a modest application with only minimal programmi

In windows 11 they removed the ability to launch task manager by right clicking the task bar and it trips me up multiple times a day. It's actually infuriating.

It feels unfair to lump in 3.x with 98, and you've skipped the (at the time groundbreaking) 95!

Every time I do a "big" windows update I get 4-5 nag screens telling me I should sign up and sign in, some of which have "skip" buttons and some of which don't so you have to click "cancel" instead which t

Are campaign IDs not a thing for anyone who clicks through? Or simply have a different landing page for each campaign?

I think you're confusing necessary and sufficient conditions.

It's not clickbait just because you made an assumption from a title and that assumption was incorrect.

Me too, I spent a month in hospital last year and the fact that 4 different channels showed Murder She Wrote at different times during the day definitely helped get me through it. This was one of the episodes I remember more clearly and I r

I wish closing things as "this is a duplicate" essentially required disclosure of the original (dupe) report. It may well be that it's a dupe, or it may be something that looks similar but not actually the same. And indeed as

One classic is Kelly: http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~frank/BOOKS/kelly_book.html But there are probably better books written since I was an undergrad.

HN's model is bad for high volume. Sometimes on HN you only get one top level reply on the whole page because once it puts the top top-level reply it then puts all the replies to that above the next top-level reply. So you get a va

Given that uber.com is prominently displayed in the title, I don't believe this charming and relatable little anecdote about title confusion.

Oh I see, how many did you choose for the bucket numbers? ( I assumed pre-allocate was a capacity allocation rather than bucket parameter ) I'd recommend 82139 which is the closest prime above 82137 which is Sqrt(Pi/2 * 2^32) whic

How would pre-allocating affect the lookup time? Am I naive in thinking it would only be insert time that would be affected by pre-allocating? Also I would recommend swapping the order in which you are testing them, just in case there are a

Fun but very frustrating controls. If you mis-type a letter in one box and it's the only letter left of that letter then you can't type it elsewhere which gets me right in a muddle. Also the delete key doesn't appear to work,

There was a moment like this in this years' Glatsonbury festival where the performer (Girl in Red) made a cultural reference then realised that no one in the audience could relate, because, as she put it, "I guess your Tik Tok isn
