Hmm, the red definitely looks more vivid to me, but I'm not sure I would say it's lighter . In an HSL-type colorspace I would say it has more S, but not more L.

Hey, what if there was a way to get paid to have someone else handle this for you? That would be crazy right

As the article explicitly stated, these are descriptive not prescriptive rules. They're things that you can generally assume all terminal programs already follow.

My understanding is that with this change, static analyzers have three options: 1. False positive on code that would have been an issue previously 2. False negative on a ton of similar footguns 3. Add complexity to differentiate between the

itch.io is over 10 years old, so my guess is that the owner was living with his parents when he registered the domain, and he never bothered updating the WHOIS when he presumably moved out in the intervening decade

Maybe 100 years from now we can do 2^18 quantum ops/sec and solve chess in a day, whereas a classical computer could do 2^36 ops/sec and still take longer than the lifetime of the universe to complete.

Maybe I'm missing the point, but this seems like a long-winded way to say "most positions are a draw, and theoretically losing material doesn't matter if you can still force a draw eventually"

Yeah it's impressive how far it is on that graph. It seems like they tend to be on the left end of the main sequence for most plots.

Interesting how drivers and healthcare workers are outliers in a lot of metrics. Did anyone else notice other common outliers?

Closed form that works for most cases: result = ((u * (u - 1)) / 2 * (100000/u)) + (100000%u * (100000%u - 1) / 2) + r)

I am unlikely to fall for either of them, but given compromising factors as mentioned by the other commenter, I am much less likely to fall for dell. .com than dell. Due to the widespread usage of 3+ common TLDs (com, org, net, etc.) and a

I already know that python is generally slower than C. This microbenchmark tells me that python is 100x slower than C, but only in these specific circumstances that wouldn't happen in the real world, but may or may not be similar eno

I don't know whether or not a more complex piece of math would change the outcome, so I would err on the side of not making assumptions until I had done more benchmarks and investigated the inner workings more. You probably know more a

The program is a useless toy that nobody would write and expect to be performant in real life. I can write an optimized version of the algorithm that prints the exact same output (barring edge cases) without looping. With this new algorithm

If you want to buy a bushel of apples and hit them with an array of objects at varying velocities and then try to construct a model that can use the resulting splatter patterns to infer the texture of the apple as experienced by humans, you

I think the comparison to goto is a little extreme, but actually not too crazy. I could see a future where the accepted best practice is to use parallelized operations for everything, and only use sequential loops in cases where the underly

It's comparing a granny smith apple to a mcintosh apple by hitting them with a baseball bat and inferring the texture of the apple from that. It uses them in a way that almost nobody does in real life, and is a vague proxy to only one

I don't think that's a concern. My assumption is that the point of taking user input is to prevent a compile from precomputing the result.

Why did finland expect that to work when >90% of money was in banks? When the article described cutting money in half, my very first thought was wondering what the banks did -- were the bills there also cut on half or were all accounts a

At one point I contributed quite a bit to google maps, because it was the primary map system I was using at the time. Had I been using an OSM-based system, I would have made contributions there instead.

hmm, do you have some hypothesis as to why that would make a difference?

If you're talking about Trump, I feel like the offensive communication there has done a bad job of convincing people who the offense is aimed at, and only a good job of motivating people who perceive themselves to be aligned with the o
