Devil's advocate: I'm sure the people learning about their non-existent dissociative identity disorders also feel as though they're learning useful information and tricks. That being said, I'm in no way implying that the

Since I first used GraphQL, my opinion has been: I like it for admin applications where the client can safely be trusted to tell me exactly what they want, and as long as I authenticate them, they can have it. For everything else, it's

I think I'm probably the other end of the spectrum. I'm perfectly content with just a close-up picture of a vagina. Penis going in and out of vagina in as high def as possible is basically optimal. If there's anything else in

I had a single milkweed potted plant on my roof. Within a day I saw a monarch on it. Within a few weeks I had about 20 caterpillars devour it. Within a few more weeks, I counted 16 chrysalises around my patio, of which 13 flew away successf

So if the promise still exists, that means that there is an active call out for a promise using this key already, so we'll just return it. We know this because when the function that is executing finishes, we delete the promise from th

Ya it obviously depends on the intended goal, but caching items in a map indefinitely better be done on a set of values that is known to be limited to a certain size over the lifetime of the server or it'll lead to a memory leak.

I have written many tools that do something like this, very useful. Just gotta be careful with memory leaks, so (for a TS example) you might want to do something like this: const promiseMap<key, Promise<any>> = new Map();

Prices weren't just going up in December, they've been going up since 2020. The asset class boom beginning in 2020 was mostly just a graph of inflation. Trillions of new dollars in the economy, record low interest rates, PPP loans

2 colors appear on both best and worst. Each lists a maximum of 5 colors. That should be enough to stop the experiment right there, unless your goal is to find the most controversial colors. The takeaway seems to be that color preferences a

A kilobyte is ~2^13 bits, but each bit is a power of 2 in regards to "things you can do." So it's more like 2^2^13. Technically a kilobyte is 1000 bytes exactly, so I'm not sure why the title says 2^1024 rather than 2^80

Even without SpaceX you'd be wrong. However, with SpaceX, you're mega wrong. Falcon 9 had already completely changed the cost function to space. Starship, however, is very set to completely turn the industry upside down.

One of my biggest fears. What's to prevent trolls and competitors from just spamming your endpoints in a loop? How do people using pay-per-use infra deal with these problems? I really want to use Lambda for public endpoints but it just

So you maintain that it is the role of the state to determine what our children do, and you think that in order to have the state determine what children do...we need to restrict what everyone else does as well?

Europeans understand that you don't have to play, right? I'm not playing. I don't think I've ever played a game with a lootbox. No part of me feels compelled to legislate away the liberties of my fellow countrymen.

I would have a huge problem describing the first one as O(1). Technically the complexity is min(searched, INT_MAX), but the algorithm would also fail to produce a result if it reaches INT_MAX. Functionally, though, I would describe this alg

Because any modification to criteria other than optimizing for competency in the specific role for which you were hiring will be necessarily, mathematically, suboptimal.
