Agreed (in fact I referred to it as a dark pattern in another comment). @grumple pointed out that throwaway accounts that can't be easily linked to the poster are essential to some reddit communities, which may play a part in why this

I'm curious, does the company-issue PC also prevent you from opening CMD and PowerShell? (If not, you can probably paste the commands directly there; or create a .bat file yourself as suggested in a sibling comment. But as another comm

Just a heads up that this implementation has exponential time complexity on pathological patterns. Demo: https://tio.run/##tVddc6IwFH3nV0Q7WyXFIlrdUWr7uC/9B213BkIQKo... pattern = "a*b*c*d*e*f*g*h*i*j*k*l*m*n

It's still possible for me, I think @NowhereMan just didn't realise the email field could be left blank. Dark pattern working as intended, most likely.

Yes, that's what I was looking for too. I think the following quote is meant to address that: > To bootstrap the system, an initial set of Actors who share the same core values about the to-be-created reputation each gets allocated

> horrible run times on craftily-constructed regexes Here is a simple patch to make the runtime O(len(pattern) * len(text)) instead of exponential. It adds 5 lines and a new parameter. The idea is to memoize (cache) the results, specif

I was trying to come up with a scenario where you have to choose between the mean and the median, and the correct choice is the mean due to signedness (in contrast with the elevator example, where the correct choice is the median because th

> standing at the mean minimizes the average squared distance This is true, but I find it more intuitive to think about the signed distance: if you define signed_dist(x, y) = x - y, then the mean is the value that makes the average s

If you mean day-of-the-week, that's easily fixed by adding labels to the movable frame (like the existing red marking which indicates the weekend).

Yeah. I guess you could manually fix it with some white magnets / reusable stickers.

Neat. Some limitations: - It doesn't tell you how many days there are in the month (31/30/28/29). - Working out how to move the frame at the end of the month isn't very difficult, but it's not trivial either (e

To improve performance, consider using `export LC_ALL=C` (credit: https://benhoyt.com/writings/count-words/ ). But note that it sorts uppercase and lowercase separately, and doesn't handle Unicode well.

FYI: You can bypass the lock by copying places.sqlite and places.sqlite-wal then reading from the copy. Not exactly ideal, but might be useful.

Nope. If you call `time.Sleep()` the reported duration will reflect that call, but it's only simulating the delay. The duration of a CPU-heavy task is always reported as 0.00s. Demo: https://go.dev/play/p/UZTo
