nope. I used to say: "40! ha, i'm going to buy motorcycles and fast cars and eat badly and drink too much and have dangerous hobbies and hopefully die young before i get old like you 40 year old geezers." then I had kids and

why in heck is this for "young adults", not disabled, vets, or disadvantaged seniors? if you are an able-bodied young adult, you should be last in line for UBI, not first. and yes, it said homeless, but there's a lot of disab

It's not unusual for states to have legislation to restrict the definition and practice of "Professional Engineer's" (capital P, capital E) and other "Professions" such as Doctors, etc. However, that does not m

yep, if you can think of it; a) the simpsons did it and b) there's already an app for that.

well, I can tell you that "private prisons" are not the only cause for this push. it's also that the other victims of the homeless don't particularly care for the needles, petty-thefts, fires, trash, vandalism, mugging

I switched from Ubuntu to Debian about 3 years ago and have been quite happy. Stable, but not "too" stable (I'm looking at you RHEL). Been daily driving Debian 10 and 11 for years now, no complaints. Even on newish laptops, f

it's not mean for storing all possible 32 bit integers. if you want to do that, it would take zero storage because the answer is just "yes". what they are doing is using the fact that a hash table can be loaded to 80% or 90%
611.
by fargle 4y ago
not quite, as the 2nd level is a hash table which is very un-trie-like. it shares the idea that you don't store the implicit bits known by the address of the first level like a trie.

Here's another vote for K&R. If you want to understand why C and UNIX were so successful, it comes down to simply excellent communication. And remember - no web, no internet, no WYSIWYG word processors, etc. at the time. To appreci

If the same number of EVs have to end up shipping via the same roads, the wear and tear on the roads is not necessarily less for seven trucks @80000 vs six trucks @88000. Remember a good amount (~32000) is the truck and trailer. Or even 42x

> The only prior state when the file didn't exist was before git was initialized. And I'd say the state of a repo with no commits is an empty tree, which is completely rational and consistent. It's what you get when you cl

by fargle 4y ago
Yep, agree. I should have been more clear about the edge case of no prior commit. anytime you do a "reset --hard" files and changes in the working tree are likely to get deleted/reverted/etc. That's as consistent

by fargle 4y ago
I understand the line of thinking, but if you are doing "git reset --hard" you are saying "put the working tree (e.g. files) back the way they are in latest commit". So if there were no files or they were empty? Well, th

Good. Folks in the free software movement need to understand that free means free . And yes, North Korea can benefit from GCC and Linux. So what? But a bug-fix is a bug-fix and a contributor and a contribution should not be discriminated

In 2014 it sure felt the way the author portrayed it. It's better now. Python 3 was, probably, worth it. But not by a lot. Please, please, let there be no giant, break-the-world, python4.

Well, it shouldn't be surprising. `git reset --hard` would do this whether it was a new file or or new repo or not. To eliminate the staging you want `git restore` or carefully `git reset` (not --hard) Every git tutorial I've se
