The Measure Of All Things is a book about the effort to measure the circumference of the earth to establish the length of the metre, about twenty years after these maps were made. The book goes into a bit of the technology used to reduce er

I think it’s better than the Bakerloo (I think?) line where it’s an air cushion. If someone heavy sits down next to you a bit quickly, you risk being launched into the aisle.

Yes, some people are. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk_Willems It would certainly shorten the war, but I’m not sure very many Ukrainians would be ok with that.

To answer your Chrome question, it’s open source and the tab discarding code is pretty straightforward. GetSortedLifecycleUnits sorts using GetSortKey, which for tabs is their last used time. So it’s just LRU. But some comments hint that ma

I did problems from Elements of Programming Interviews, on paper, while talking out loud about what I was doing. I would have used a white board if I had one, or a google doc (non-ide text editor) if I were practicing for a remote interview

I’ll have to nitpick your last point. Unless you’re going to a farmer’s market, the quality of fruit and vegetables in America is abysmal. Watery hard fruit, etc. You can get the same terrible strawberries all year round if you want though.

Hey, all I want to do is shave yaks, and now you want a coat? That will involve sorting, carding/combing, spinning, weaving/knitting, and all sorts of other stuff that doesn’t involve razor blades and yaks.

> How many teams have free desks around waiting for unexpected developers to show up? It’s not like desk moves happen very often. Unless there’s an intern about to leave, there’s always some free desks on teams that are hiring. At least

I used to get back pain once or twice a year, but not since I started (very casually) doing pull-ups a few years ago. You can jump/step up so your chin is at the bar, and then lower yourself down as slowly as possible. Watch out for th

Like other posters said, don’t sweat learning it early, just do the assignments. That said, Compiler Explorer [0] is very useful to see what modern compilers actually do. If you want to learn how simple programs are converted to assembly, m

Are you using only the answer words as guesses? I have a decision tree that averages 3.67 guesses [0], so a bit worse than yours, but the maximum guess length is 5. My heuristic is to search for trees by looking at how the guesses split the

If you watch stations with transfers, like Naka-meguro, you’ll see that departures are synchronised, especially for express trains. That transfer looks like this [0] with the Hibiya (grey) line on the left, and Toyoko line on the right. You

The summary says that it works if it is a measurable function [0], which is structure preserving. So sha256 would scramble the input too much for it to be detected here. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurable_fu

And even if it did, P=NP is based on a model of computation. So even if there is a proof of P=NP with quantum computers, that could still leave the question open on classical computers.

Reservations are worse. You have cancellations, and fragmentation if any party leaves early. This can more than make the difference between a restaurant being profitable or not. Although I’m not sure this can be extended by analogy to only

Having seen quite a few wood frame houses under construction in Japan, at least the framing seems much higher quality than in Canada. Studs are thicker, cut more precisely, and spaced closer together with more cross bracing than I have ever

I think you can use general purpose registers so long as you don’t actually need to do IEEE 754 math. I’m not clear on the details of how the byte code/JIT deals with it, my only experience is with hire values are stored in the heap.

Also, NaN boxing. Which is (was?) used by JavaScript Core (Safari’s JS engine). All values are stored as a double; true, false, null, undefined have different NaN values. NaN even has enough spare bits to store Object pointers. Short string
