Literally all the people I know from Venezuela, even supporters of Maduro will tell you it started long before. Like 20 to 30 years ago. Even by the period of Chavez, or even before that. I think you don’t know very much about Venezuela. An

Me too. The problem is that you just (at least I) never use day to day.

Absolutely. In the same direction as some people I've heard along the lines of "Anything you can do with language X, can be done with assembler, just have some routines for that in your stash"

I got recommended and have in my bookshelf "The art of prolog" waiting for the year when I have time (or need) for it.

Could you please expand? Because I have the same state of knowledge of the previous poster. I would like to learn if I'm wrong.

Disclaimer: I've no idea what I'm talking about. :) But I have heard repeatedly that the good thing of prolog is the compiler, that takes information and queries that would be awful inefficient, and convert them in something that

Because of the formulation of the question, I assume (please don't be irritated, if wrong) that you have very little knowledge of networking. In that case, it won't harm the Beej guide, but probably not the best point to start. Th

Depends on what you call better or worse. In real life positives (TN) are far less common than negatives (TN), if this system does not have lots of FP (which is very possible), the accuracy will be much better than you may expect. What I m

by f1shy 9mo ago
Not at all. There is no implication, implicit or explicit, that anything in the world is better or worse. It is just a statement of fact.

My personal opinion: AI should be still kept out of anything mission critical, in all stages, except for evaluation. There is other comment very correctly noting that this result is on 100% positive input. Same AI in “real life” would score

That is no base line. That is a comparison with no statistical value.

In my circles, there is one part of OOP seen as positive: encapsulation. Everything else, specially inheritance and partly polymorphism are seen extremely negatively. The hype is over. BUT: I still hear more often as I would like, some ma

Not so off topic. About 2 weeks ago, I commented in such an article saying I humbly don’t think is an appropriate topic for HN, and I was downvoted to hell in a hurry…

Probably. Or just SSO, as it is basically a very well known name already.

I have seen pretty toxic comments in many political threads. Specially in threads of political that have nothing to do with technology in any way. BTW even being the least toxic leaves the bar still pretty low, if you ask me.

I come to HN to see negative comments. I pay special attention to very downvoted ones. My algorithm is: if there is no ad hominem, really bad words, or snarky, I read them fully and with attention. Of course if is a non sequitor I would lea

Do you have a pointer to real world data about the effectiveness of these optimizations? I learned about it (SSO, in std lib which is basically the same) in an article which really made it look as that would make anything in C++ blazing fas

Yes. Sorry. That was not 100% correct. Still, your words (my emphasis) >C++ strings are not "optimized so". C++ strings (generally) do SSO (up to 23 bytes depending on implementation), these also do SSO but only 8 bytes (to a

I don’t know any other name for it. While this strings are basically SSO (or a twist of it).

I think is about the kind of union they use, to store it differently depending on the string length, not the fact of length+data. Anyway is/was also nothing remotely new (the idea) as many lisp and scheme implementations have done so f
