epoll and read are different calls though, expecting them to behave the same when they have very different uses is weird to me. If it is a bug, then why does the man page call out this case, and other cases with dup and dup2 as use cases? W

I want to reply to you but I am too tired to make a proper well thought out reply. So I will keep it short. I agree with you, and there is a whole lot of stuff to talk about with regards to this (far too much for me to type right now). As p

While I did take my example to an extreme to illustrate my point I think we can agree that trivia will be learned along the way, it just not what should be the meat of the teaching or testing. Your example of #StopAdani made me smile (not b

I see your point, and I feel you have unfairly made my comment mean something much more than it originally was intended to be. I want to make it clear. I am not advocating not knowing things. I am advocating that some things are "trivi

It's not that we are getting dumber. We are just changing our skill set. Remembering where to find a set of information or how to find a set of information is more effective than remebering each item in the set. Search engines have c

I think you are right. The older I get and the more people I work with I realize that most people are just ignorant. They come up with a "good idea" based on their ignorance and then push it. I know what it is like, because I have

Seems like you could have done this without needing to use a blockchain... Do we have to use a blockchain for everything now?

The difference is we don't know how the EM drive is working (or are we sure it is working). The 3 projects in the parents flat out don't work, and we know why they don't work -- or at least know to what extent they will work.

There is a big difference between Edison and what is going on with these projects. It's not merely that somebody found a way that it won't work, it's they showed the laws of physics will prevent it from ever being a reality.

Sure, but all 3 of the projects listed had people very early on point out that back of the envelope calculations don't add up and warned them that their projects are going to fail. Each of those those groups proceeded to ignore or not

All good points. Thanks. I had not considered that way before. I think 1a and 1f are the strongests points. I do feel 1b is a bit of a stretch. I don't think somebody becomes an employee because they require you to use a hammer and not

I don't think that is a good reason to say they are employees. What happens when you look at it like this; A Uber driver must accept some % of request sent their way (any class), but if you want to be sent uber black request then you m

Did I read that right? "it's necessary to deploy docker clusters to maximize performance of your machine" to get the performance out of a single system?

The problem is middleboxes like fortigate also do MITM on ssh connections. Assuming you are not bringing home devices into work and don't have your ssh server's fingerprint memorized you might be tempted to just type 'yes&#x2

Maybe, or maybe they are missing out. Binary-tree traversing is a rote memory sort of thing. Somebody who can come in and play 20 questions about an algorithm and answer them perfectly shows me nothing other than they studied that algorithm

I don't think you understand this at all. Yes, different modes of transportation cost more. The problem is charging different services a different rate on that mode of transportation. Sure, a wireless network can cost more, and people

This is all wrong. I am not even sure what you mean by stream or how it would be any difference than "read", "write", "read", "write". Because that is literally what cat does, and so does dd. Many peo

I see your point about early detection. While a trie will have precise early failure detection a hash will have 2 ways to fail early. One would be the hash is simply not found. But at that point you had to at least look at the entire input

I agree that binary search might not be the best (depending on constraints), my initial complaint was there were faster ways to solve problem stated than searching every word every time. I personally like the binary tree method for systems

by mbrumlow 10y ago
I would argue a trie is not that good compared to a hash. Each letter is going to be a list (which you have to search), or have a fixed sized array pointing to the next letter (could be problematic with languages that use more than a-zA-z).
