Why did they mirror-image reverse the shot starting at 19:46? Bikes aren't symmetrical: the gearing is on the wrong side.

Frankly, it only takes that long if you're really bad or really inexperienced at cooking. I frequently have dinner on the table (spaghetti and meatballs, Japanese curry, flank steak or chicken tacos) for my family of six with 30-40 mi

Speaking as a parent of three boys, one of whom had to be circumcised in second grade or so due to a phimosis, I still feel completely comfortable with my decision not to circumcise my boys as infants. He experienced discomfort for a week

I went through mild (and not professionally diagnosed) depression a few years back. No suicidal thoughts, no pit in the stomach, just a complete lack of desire to do anything at all. Crystallized apathy. Before seeing my doctor, I figure

They don't, but C++ programmers especially are familiar with not letting inappropriate things escape scopes; they're much less familiar with not letting inappropriate things escape _expressions_. I've reviewed over a half mi

Having reviewed even just a few diffs with Synchronized since joining Facebook, it absolutely should not be part of the standard library (nor, I would argue, part of folly). I have found far too many cases where engineers have threading is

This isn't how it works in the US. In the US, the car is titled to the bank until the loan is paid in full, then the bank transfers the title to you.

I've written this code (in C++) for an employer. RE2 scaled fine to hundreds of thousands of regexes. You'll want to use RE2::Set, which compiles multiple regexes into a single DFA, and probably the "Filter" functionali

No one's explaining it particularly well, so I'll try to break it down. Let's say one company offers you $400k of equity vesting over four years. On your start date, they'll use the current price of the stock to transla

Are you not listening to what anyone else is telling you here? Did you not read the article? It's not about "scanning into junk". The problem would happen if you used scanf to extract integers from a string of `' &#x27

It's reversible. That's the whole point. You don't need to keep a separate table or column for the hashed id.

But a liter of compressed hydrogen weighs 38 grams, while a liter of kerosene weighs 810 grams. So the energy density by gram , rather than liter, is in favor of compressed hydrogen by a factor of more than 5x. I don't know what the

You're forgetting that half the array is never copied. The total number of copies doesn't exceed a linear cN, so it's O(N), not O(N log(N)). The constant bound on the number of copies depends on the growth factor. With a gr

I've written some simple code and verified that commenter's numbers through 19 digits. Edit: parallelized the code and proved through 19 digits. That's where I'm stopping due to the uint64 space limitations.

Yes, you're overlooking something. Look at the 61-digit prime, 9968667351197964859567689459993713773777797133337931717971339. 99% of all 61-digit primes are less than that prime. The 63-digit prime above it prepends a '2'
