I read that as "elegant" not "made better". It's possible that people could read it either way.

What if they share the link on social? All the new traffic would seem to be non-unique.

I was astounded how much better I was than my classmates at coding, testing, debugging, etc. I attribute all of it to the 25 hours a week I spent at work.

I'm not really sure this is 100% true. I recently got a fight confirmation email and immediately started getting "things to see in LOCATION" push notifications from Google maps. I'm not sure of course that they really r

Nobody is adapted to asynchronous communication, it's always going to make you less productive. The key is that your immediate request is forcing someone else to put down their thing to help you, the same way that other people interrup

Basically a linear array is packed tightly, so trying to put something in the middle, well first you have to move what's already there. Because it's packed tight, you end up having to move everything to the right one space from th

In my opinion, the main reason to have `async` is because it doesn't require knowledge of generators. I've worked with developers who thought that `async`/`await` was too much trouble to learn and unnecessarily complicated.

Did you see that this is a command line app (like VI, or EMACS)? Those libraries look like they're used for GUIs. Do you know if they can be used for the terminal?

From the article, it wasn't a XOR, the "key" was that there was a bit sequence when interpreted as Morse code said something like "copyright ATARI". So, reasonably easy to show it wasn't just pulling the messag

In C#, your tasks are submitted to the ambient task scheduler. In ASP.NET, this is (I believe) the main thread pool that handles requests. The only time I've ever had to care where something was running is when adding response headers

My 2 year old is learning road safety and how to walk on the side of the street, but she's still safer when I'm with her because as an adult, I can understand things like getting hit by a car that I haven't experienced first-

Yeah, Getty is selling photos that are public domain. Photos in the public domain are already free to use, though some people might pay to have peace of mind that they didn't take a similar, not-public domain work by mistake or somethi

To be fair, getValueOrDefault is strictly more powerful than defaultdict because you can vary the initial value by the key.

I have a dream that rural work will become more popular. I live in a city where all the local kids go to the oil fields or get out of Dodge, but I've heard a lot of comments from families that they'd do just about anything not to

Minor bug, but it looks like all your call-to-actions on the features page are too large. (FF on Pixel 1)

This reply made me even more confused. According to my naive understanding of floating point there are 53 bits for the mantessa (sp?) so in my head, you would specify a exponent of 2^(-53) and fill the mantessa with random bits to get a &qu

So, am I correct that this would give you effectively 52 random bits instead of the maximum 53? Is the problem that the 53rd bit would mean there are possibly invalid values you'd have to throw out, or that the distribution wouldn&#x27

So, I'm the author and I'm aware there are smarter people than me working on things like this, but my question is mostly whether there's a threshold where things can be useful. As an honest question, in C++ I think there&#x27

That's generally not how things go. I don't know the details of this exact thing, but generally there will be two "very yes" responses, a "kinda yes", a "kinda no", and to "very no". You thr

Well, given that Rust and C# also have these features I think the likelihood that the patent is upheld is unlikely. I guess they could threaten you with it since lawyers are expensive, but it seems silly to me.

I read it as the author almost never uses the uninitialized data and when they do need a zeroed array it's simple to do so why pay the cost to initialize the elements when you're about to set them anyway.

I love the passive aggressive stab at Sutter. "Modern Healthcare decided to see how long it would take to present the data in a more consumer-friendly format. It took less than two hours - with a break for lunch - to create the 29 PD

How can you consent to learn about something you don't know about? This is a very different idea to me and I'm trying to understand where you're coming from.

Between a wedding, maternity and newborn photos (x2), I can tell you that just because you're paying somebody to take pictures, does not mean you have any copyright. People (esp. small-time people) are starting to sell the rights but i

No idea, but it seems like the news is allowed an exemption from royalties because of "fair use" or whatever they call it in Europe now (maybe "protected use" or something).
