It's also a waste of time tourist trap. The normal Icelandic baths are much cheaper and just as good.

It's not terrorism if done purely for profit and without a political motive. Words have meanings.

Readers may also be interested in this old comment of mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30895669 . It uses the method by Downey briefly mentioned at the end of the article.

If I didn't speak English, I'm sure I would appreciate it. E.g. to swap the roles, while I'm sure some wouldn't mind but I'd guess that the majority of people who watch anime appreciate the anime titles have English

Yep, I have listen [::]:443 ssl; listen 443 ssl; in the server block.

Thanks for letting me know. I just double-checked and the AAAA IPv6 record does have the right IP, port 80 is open in the VPS firewall for both IPv4 and v6 and my nginx config does listen on both as well: listen 80; listen [::]:80

To be entirely precise, it is functionally complete in combination with access to the constant false (-0.0). If not given access to this constant it is not functionally complete, unlike e.g. NAND which can produce false from any value. I sh

Does it matter if it's a law? One day a national security letter from some three letter agency shows up at your doorstep, requiring you to keep logs (or let their engineer install a room 641A), and forbidding you from saying you do.

IEEE 754 floating point are numbers, they are not ranges. Every operation rounds to a representable number in the set.

You're right I was sloppy in defining s to be an int, it should've been an unsigned type. My point was more about getting consistent behavior across platforms at (most often) zero cost, not to support arbitrary negative shifts.

Where do you think the carbon came from in the first place? Fossil fuels don't create carbon, they are carbon. It's not shoving it under the rug, it's putting it back where it came from.

You can get well-defined behavior at 0 cost (for x86-64 and ARM64, which covers most everything not very obscure/embedded) on both GCC and LLVM by explicitly adding a modulo operator: uint32_t foo(uint32_t x, int s) { ret

There are two kinds of versions here. The CRDT version and Slotmap's internal version. I am not proposing you merge the two concepts, rather that instead of a Vec and simple indexes you use a Slotmap and keys, which then does allow del

In Rust there's my crate slotmap, the above described design matches the DenseSlotMap type. It's also often called a generational arena.

I think it depends on your typing speed, your target speed, and how much time you want to spend learning the method. On desktop I type 110-130 WPM so such a shortcut wouldn't really help in all but the most extreme examples in day to d
