I went to San Jose State University which is in the top 25 in the US and top 100 worldwide and I didn't feel like it was anything special. In fact, most of the people in the program were pretty bad at coding.

Rustup makes it painless, though. I have a ton of versions of Rust installed. I use different versions for different projects. Some versions I just tested to find where the performance regression was, so I could just remove them, but they d

You can further generalize it to "If you don't think then you're not being responsible."

Installed AdNauseam on Firefox as soon as I heard. Never heard of this extension before, now I'll use it!

Firefox has already committed to eliminating XUL components. Once it has the correct APIs to emulate existing add-ons, mobile Firefox could probably switch over to Servo. Desktop has a lot more cruft and features, so it will probably be har

Well, you can write individual components in Rust and put them into Servo and then refactor the existing C++ to make it modular enough for those components to be replaced by the Rust version. Then eventually you'll be able to replace e

For example, US Congress has a lot of matches in a day so you don't even know who you're going to face. Only top players study the games of their opponents because they have time to prepare in finals of big tournaments.

But it's not even a good authority, since strong amateurs (semi-pros) have many opponents (amateur tournaments are played in the same day or weekend and have many matches), while top players prepare specifically for one opponent in tou

That's just appeal to authority. Lee Sedol's move against AlphaGo in game 4 could be considered a trap because it actually didn't work, but it was complicated enough to trick AlphaGo.

The highest level players play special variations against each other hoping that the other player doesn't know it. They CLEARLY play against what they think the other player knows, not what they know (since they have studied this varia

Who said anything about strong players?

by iopq 10y ago
Playing trap moves is not that rare and it shows that you expect the opponent not to know a complicated variation.

KGS 9 dan players are pros or amateurs that are professional level like former insei. The highest rank is almost 11d (it still says 9d, but the graph goes even higher): https://www.gokgs.com/graphPage.jsp?user=leqi

Rust is self-hosted in that the compiler front-end is written in Rust, but it uses LLVM in the back-end.

It's useful, but is it absolutely necessary? For example, a lot of people die from cancer while getting drugs from 20 years ago. Why not just let them have experimental drugs if they're going to die anyway?

They aren't inherent in green people, but you shouldn't give them loans anyway. Loans should be based on reality, not an ideal world that we don't live in. And certainly fairness has no basis in reality. It's a human con

I'm in my thirties and I don't want to lose weight. I also ate several hundred grams of sugar every day in December. Didn't gain a single pound. This is because my calories were still about the same, only the composition chan

I'm already a super rager. According to this article, I may be a super ager as well, since trying hard at games to the point that I get frustrated and angry is what keeps me sharp!

Depends on how interesting the work is and how motivated I am. I think on average 20 hours of progamming a week + a few hours here and there for email and random things are optimal.

I definitely accomplish less overall when I work longer hours. For a week, I'll do more work. The next week I'll probably browse more Reddit. I just eventually rebel and don't want to do so much work anymore.
