I typically do the same algorithm for each solution, but I do try to write it in an idiomatic way to each language. I usually look at the editorial after the first solve to see if I missed any tricks or other approaches, and sometimes I’ll

It's a feature of the leetcode.com website. I actually can't find a URL that will directly link to the current day's problem, but you can open https://leetcode.com/problemset/ and select the current date

Good question. I chose them because they are the languages that I use professionally and would choose for technical interviews. I expect to be asked to solve problems in either language in any given interview. Technical interviews are diffe

I think that it helps a lot to have a daily practice of using a language for small things. In much that same way that many people do the daily wordle or crossword, I do the daily leetcode. I flip a coin and solve it first in either C++ or P

Some context is probably necessary for this submission. This is a direct link to one chapter of a book-length (1905 pages!) suicide note titled "Suicide Note" by Mitchell Heisman, who committed suicide near Harvard University in 2

This is called being a “universalizing” religion. The big three universalizing religions are Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. You can understand a lot of religious history as just those three religions expanding and displacing other belie

You honestly just have to treat any Oracle product as malware, and proactively scan for it / block it from being installed on employee laptops in the first place.

gwern once ran a rigorous N=1 self-experiment on magnesium with self-blinding and week-long blocks, and concluded that it was probably helpful to him: https://gwern.net/nootropic/magnesium#conclusion You are welcome to

I have a monthly recurring task in my task manager to open the Dropbox app on my iPhone and leave it in-focus for a couple of minutes while it uploads the previous month’s photos. If I don’t do that, then it just won’t upload them.

Canvas is actually also open source and can be self-hosted: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms (I don't have experience in hosting either software so I can't really comment beyond that)

I read the first link and was curious what the outcome of the case was, since the article was released in 2021. It seems that Jeanne was declared alive again in 2023, which is the most recent public reporting on the case: https:/&#x2F

Trader Joe's is probably closest to what you want. It targets single shoppers with small quantities and low prices, and it rotates products frequently to keep things interesting. Anecdotally I feel like a lot of TJ's shoppers shif

I once heard "creepiness" defined as "becoming invested in advance in a particular outcome to a social interaction". In that sense, trying tricks in order to have a "successful conversation" will always fail so

I applaud your commitment to statistical rigor. On a related note, “sequential analysis” is the keyword in stats for experimental designs that allow for stopping the experiment early in the face of clear results: https://en.wikip

I don’t know, but I’ve thought for a while that a browser version of “pledge” to permanently restrict uploads from a webpage after it is called would be a great idea.

+1. It works perfectly if your mental model is: “Every file is only ever written to from a single client, and will be asynchronously made available to all other clients, and after some period of time has elapsed you can safely switch to alw

And going the other direction, if you want your C++ binaries to benefit from statistics about how to optimize the steady-state behavior of a long-running process, the analogous technique is profile-guided optimization (PGO).

You may know this already, but the different FreeCiv clients are pretty different from each other. It's been a couple of years since I've played FreeCiv, but IIRC the QT client was the nicest at that time.

Why not use an easier to detect wake “word”, like two claps in quick succession? Or a couple of notes of a melody?

Is this something where you could pay a "consulting fee" to the previous key engineer to login and remove the MFA? I know that that's not ideal, but as a practical matter perhaps it would be easier than creating a new account

This looks quite cool. The project name is obvious to anyone who speaks Chinese, but for everyone else: “zi2zi” means ”字 to 字” or “character to character”, which describes the use of style transfer. It also makes total sense that the model
