A strict theoretical regex yes, but a lot of regex implementations in practice are not strict NFA/DFAs and may indeed be turing complete

Ironically Steve Nash didn't shoot enough 3s, so his Nash equilibrium was pretty off. In all seriousness, yes, there's a lot more to modern basketball than just "take more 3s". It's more like "try to get dunks

That's not a huge difference. 3% is like an average of 3 extra misses, which is probably not even that noticeable with variance. 3 pointers are not replacing 2 pointers with equal percentages, but they are creating opportunities for hi

So I agree that more complexity is not better and there’s a real risk of alienating fans with complicated schemes. But chess has made real inroads by providing good commentators and analysis. You can’t make teams play dumber but you can tea

Thinking Basketball is one of my favorite resources for basketball analysis. He recently made a video debunking myths about the modern game [1]. While yes, there’s far more analytics and knowledge in the game, it hasn’t lead to monotony or

There's a difference between a handful of sites that use wasm and it being the mainstream way in which we write web applications and run hosted software. It's still a very very niche platform that has not fulfilled its promise of

When? We’ve been talking about wasm for years. When are we actually getting this future? It’s been 8 years since wasm 1.0, and still we don’t have a stable, easy to use toolchain. Rust has maybe the best support and I still can’t get a basi

In fairness to Zig, they're quite a bit younger. I have no doubt they'll catch up

Yeah there's your problem. Hiring a random person and giving them unlimited access to compute resources is a bold move to say the least. If you're gonna work on something like this, do it yourself or hire someone who you can reall

Stay in the land that was allotted in 1967 (or 1948), don’t create settlements, allow the Palestinians territories to self govern and have open borders. Obviously that won’t stop bad faith actors like Hamas but that’s not going to stop with

No but speed of lookup is definitely a limiting factor. And with rust goto definition also goes to the doc comment so I can easily read the docs in my IDE

I have to wonder, how much of these issues are because education is generally underfunded and not given enough respect? > There were just certain, simple, logical steps in my education that were not possible to take without first getting

I used magnet because that's the most commonly known term, but my high school definitely was not an attempt to desegregate schools. If anything it increased segregation by a lot.

I'm glad that you had a good experience! I also benefited immensely from my school's setup. I just think it's worth analyzing these programs from a critical perspective instead of an all or nothing lens. Programs can be worth

Did people read the article? There's actually some interesting points about how gifted/advanced curriculum isn't always the solution. I'd have to agree. I went to a magnet school, so already presumably for "gifted&q

I do think there's a bit of the Ignaz Semmelweis[1] issue at hand here, where developers want to believe in their inherent quality and refuse processes that improve safety if it goes against their worldview. Also, no other language has

yeah that seems cool! I'm a little skeptical of pure functional programming with no escape hatch. I rarely need the escapes in Rust but when I do, I really do.

by hardwaregeek 2y ago
Does Roc have escape hatches for mutability? That's something I value in Rust, good escape hatches from the borrow checker, so if something gets too difficult, you can just `Arc<Mutex<RefCell<T>>>` it.

Obviously they're referring to the 1924 batch which had MGM and Universal Studios. They even got Henry Ford to come to Demo Days!

lol I remember looking at this when doing our major port from Go to Rust. I noped out once I saw the raw assembly portion. Great for a side project but probably not the move for a cross platform binary run by thousands of people. Still a ve

You can also get pretty close by salting the cabbages a lot, then rinsing them once they’ve gotten seasoned enough to be pleasantly salty. Also it’s quite hard to oversalt kimchi in my experience. You’ll need to ferment it longer but eventu

I would disagree. Figma Slides got maybe the most positive response at the keynote. Most designers I know already use Figma for slides, so to make a first party experience with speaker notes and good UX would be understandably very popular.
