I would not remap , and ; as the article suggests, since those keys are already used in Vim for repeating f/F/t/T.

Certificates often change for legitimate reasons, e.g. Let's Encrypt certificates which must be changed every 3 months.

The paper is on arXiv, so we don't know if it's gotten a fine-toothed comb review yet. Furthermore, some reviewers seem to ignore those kinds of typos, which means a paper might have been reviewed carefully for the technical conte

The article severely misrepresents Amdahl's law, in particular in the sentence: > Though you took half of your entire program, and optimized it to be four times faster, the overall system is only 1.6x faster. This application of Amd

Unfortunately, redbaron targets Python 2, which doesn't have the f-strings added in Python 3.6. The project looks quite nifty otherwise.

Using the line/column information in Python's ast objects, you can sort of, almost recreate the concrete syntax, and I've tried to do so in my toy project https://github.com/Mortal/fstrings which convert

Unfortunately the "Latest Felt Quakes Map" at http://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/geonet doesn't work because the website has exceeded 25,000 map loads in a day.

The description of Naive Bayes is misleading. Almost all supervised learning problems assume that "Inputs are classified in isolation where no input has an effect on any other inputs" (quote from the article), but that's not

The link should be changed to https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki since that seems to be the primary entry point for the repo/tutorial.

Since the thesis is full of handwritten equations I doubt there exists a digitized version at all.

The authors define a level metric for the "linearity" of the level, defined as "how close the level can be fit to a line". This seems like a vague definition -- is it the optimal path taken by the player that is being fi

Once you have solved your first 1000 problems in programming competition situations, you become really good at writing code that compiles and even is correct in the first go. For me, practicing for programming competitions alongside the job

The biggest takeaway is the last paragraph: > On most of the machines you're likely to use, "size_t" for loop counters is a good idea where signed values aren't required. It's unsigned and generally as wide as ad

The H-index is designed such that posts with few upvotes cannot decrease the H-index. Since it is defined as the largest n such that you have ≥n posts with score ≥n, adding another low-scoring post doesn't decrease the H-index.

In the end of the press release, Mossack Fonseca comment on "specific allegations in the media reports". Note how the list enumeration jumps from (f) to (h) without any (g)... I wonder if they erased one of the rebuttals just befo

Poor Zach Adams (Tarn's brother), not getting any mention in the article (or even this comment thread). Even though he doesn't work on programming the game, he still writes the stories that (as far as I can tell) carry the creatio

In this case, passing the std::string to std::getline by reference is more than just an "out parameter": it is the buffer in which the result should be stored. Of course this will be more efficient than allocating a new buffer for

Considering that a considerably large subset of C is valid C++, it should be easy to modify 8cc to be valid C++ (e.g. by replacing implicit void*-casts to explicit ones), and then you already have a "self-hosting C++ compiler", bu

In a sense, Robbert's thesis can be viewed as a more mathematically stringent (and thus arguably clearer) C11 specification. For instance, page 42 has the following mathematical gem: > The C11 standard defines the usual arithmetic c
