I haven't, mostly because it's fast enough already and I don't really feel like implementing this stuff myself.

It's an autocompletion for emoji, so several letters will be missing regardless. I'm that case, a long word like "helicopter" will be placed at a greater distance than "elipsis" despite being what I want "

Statically compiled languages like Rust can have a large a standard library as they want, because only the code that is actually used will get included in the binary.

I've used Levenshtein distance to sort fuzzysearch results by order of relevance. Worked very well combined with a special-case to sort exact matches first.

First, I'll address this, as it's important for the rest to make sense > Government intervention doesn't have to be unforeseen. Good regulations are announced in advance, and businesses are informed during the legislation

The "most desirable society" is subjective. Value is subjective. Trade, and the market, is based on that fact. Trade in the market creates wealth. The efficiency of the market lowers the costs of goods. These two things work toget

That a handy assertion, but what replaced IE was not Netscape, but Firefox and later Chrome. IE6, IE7, and IE8 had massive market share up until recently. Now Chrome is the king.

Consumer choice in broadband is restricted mainly by regulatory capture. Consider the trouble Google Fiber had to actually get into cities because they were constantly fighting red tape brought about by telecoms.

That is an annoyingly obscure detail, I think the wrong decision was made there. Hopefully it gets reversed. Personally I really like the array of tables syntax. It is a little unintuitive but it's not difficult to remember. It's

I haven't run into that. I think in the contexts for which TOML was meant, it isn't that big of an issue though. Also, I'm not entirely sure how many parsers enforce that restriction.

by pitaj 7y ago
Can't recommend TOML enough. I use it for everything. Super simple and easy to edit. It fulfills all of the requirements. There are several available C++ TOML parsers, including one from Boost.

I was supposed to learn touch-typing in school, but all I learned was how to game the system. To this day I still type with pretty much only index and middle fingers, even the space bar. I don't feel particularly restricted by my _mayb

Given a sufficiently restricted syntax, any static analysis is possible. So the question isn't especially useful with the current wording.

Market forces apply to every other necessity of life, why would they not apply to healthcare?

Taxes on employers are taxes on employees. Employers have set compensations that include the payroll taxes and insurance plans and everything. Why have an extra layer of obscurity when you could just tax income directly? Unnecessary complic

The healthcare market isn't even close to free, it's the most tightly regulated industry. Until that changes, nothing will get better.
