What property makes the Hilbert curve desirable compared to, say, a snake pattern, with which neighbouring ISBNs are also neighbours in the visualisation? The worry I have with Hilbert curves is that they make the result look like there are

Nit, the relevant property you're looking for is associative (you can omit parantheses), not commutative (you can swap left and right); there are some operations that are the latter but not the former, such as the average: avg(a,

It's an awkward position to be in for the family of the deceased. They're already going through enough by griefing; if they'd rather not share, but are still constantly pestered about it by strangers, it's certainly not

If your relatives believe so, they can choose to share the cause of death. But at the same time, if they choose not to, I think we should respect that. I mean, I'm curious too. I think it's normal to be. But life goes on either wa

> I'm not sure why that is. Well, you explained it in your second paragraph; to respect the family, and the deceased themself. Some causes of death (suicide, overdose, etc.) come with a lot of private information about the individua

UUID v7 is the latter, whereas v4 is the former. All the other versions are somewhat legacy, and you shouldn't use them in new systems (besides v8, which is "custom format UUID", if you need that.)

Because they're big enough so they can afford not to, and they want to do things that the sandbox/review process/monetisation rules wouldn't let them. I assume the sandbox is exactly why parent wants the app to be there

Sure, but he's not invincible like in Classic; those 7 wins aren't consecutive (he lost in 2021 and won 22 & 23), meanwhile he's won every classical championship since 2013 (until he stopped playing in 2023).

That's because Caruana was a bad Blitz player though; on the elo rankings, Carlsen's lead is (and usually tends to be) smaller in Blitz.

In classical chess, yes; in Blitz and Rapid he's still one of the best, but there's lots of good competition.

For those on mobile, either go on a desktop or change your user agent so you get to use the website instead of an ad for a $3 app. Interesting strategy to make a cool free website with the potential to go viral, and then act like it's

PFOF does not frontrun — it wouldn't even make sense to frontrun. Retail orders tend to be bad; it makes no sense to frontrun a bad order, especially if you're the market maker who's fulfilling it too.

Maybe SQLite isn't that big, but Red Hat makes billions of dollars of annual revenue. GitLab is a public decacorn (or was one yesterday, anyways). Those are good businesses, and I'm pretty sure a good chunk of us run software from

Of course! That's why the article is telling you that some languages (C#, Rust) are better at it than others (Go, Java). Doesn't mean that Go and Java are bad languages! Just that they aren't good to do this thing.

You could in theory create your own event loop and then get the exact same behaviour as Promises in Go, but you probably shouldn't. Goroutines are the way to do this in Go, and it wouldn't be useful to benchmark code that would ne
