XPath 3 and XQuery 3 are powerful and great technologies to query XML if you need that stuff. The problem is that most implementations cover XPath 1.0 because I guess it is too difficult (i.e. time consuming and involved) to produce a 2.x o

Yes, I just thought about that one. That's funny.

"state malware" is quite a weird grouping of terms. I understand people find "exported" to be the most disturbing word in "exported state malware" but not for me.

Cool idea. It looks like it doesn't check if french accents have been typed. I could write the letter without its accent and it considered that it was good. And with its accent, it is good too.

Not a proper one though ;-)

Or: Humans possess higher intelligence long thought a primarily animal attribute. That would be better, less anthropocentric.

Same here. Still in 10.14. Work machine is already on Linux. Personal one will be soon. Sad to lose some apps (e.g. Dash, Affinity, Alfred, Fantastical, Postbox, 1Password, ...) but in the end it will be more powerful and fast with Linux an

It was quite similar for me. Scott Wlaschin's Railway Oriented Programming and its other articles on its site (and in particular https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/series/map-and-bind-and-ap... ) helped me greatly t

This is one should be used in place of the traditional printf for beginners as a way to learn C in one single shot.

That's why I love HN comments. Always learning a lot of stuff and regularly the comments are more interesting than the original post itself. This is the case for this one I think. Or at least a nice complement.

So true. In a month I will receive my new laptop with a qwerty US layout instead of the belgian azerty one I used until now. Using an external keyboard for now, I already see the benefit of qwerty for programmers. And I also switch from mac

I learned Pascal, programming logic based on invariants, WP, ... and algorithms with Pierre-Arnoul de Marneffe between 1994 and 1998. That was a very good time and proved so interesting and useful. I knew he had someting to do with Knuth an

IMHO. "I trusted cloud services to store my data". I never do that. I have multiple offline encrypted backup copies (on-site and off-site). I do not trust anything out of my arm's reach. The cloud is not an option for serious

Learned that and the "weakest precondition" stuff from Pierre-Arnoul de Marneffe in 1994 at the University of Liège (ULg). Very useful but we didn't grasp the full power of it at that time.

What would you recommend as a good book on Virtual Memory ? I learned about the insides of computers during school days more than 20 yers ago and I would like to refresh/update my knowledge.

Yes I like it too. I think this one is better because we also get the math. http://jamie-wong.com/post/bezier-curves/

Looks like he's writing about my current mid-2014 MBP. When I have to change I might be going to Linux on a Dell, Lenovo or HP.

Makes me think of the environment notation invented/used by Joseph Weizenbaum in the paper "The Funarg Problem Explained" in 1968 and which was used by our Professor Daniel Ribbens in 1998-99 in our Scheme classes. The notati

Sure but now we have a system that is very well optimized to allow a few people to get super rich at the cost of the whole world safey (them included).

Yes indeed. World Bank... We can stop reading the rest of the title and avoid reading the article entirely.

The title article is missing "and re-rise". I use it regularly and I am happy how it gets the job done : no social stuff, no ads.

Yes but in XML we view things as trees, not sets, tuples, or the likes. If you consider stuff as trees, there is not anti-pattern and the example is not wrong, it is correct. It is easy. Maybe we can be a little bit dissatisfied with the ch
