This is in fact more readable, thank you. I still don’t know that I find it more intuitive or readable than the simple loop, but it’s much less awful than before.

From TFA, on combinators vs. loops: items.iter().enumerate().filter(|(_, i)| cond(i)).map(|(idx, i)| Pointer::idx(i, path, idx)).collect() while (i < cursors.len) { if (actual_index < arr.items.len) { cursors[i] = .

Unless they’ve been elided, there were no indices other than the PK on any table, and no additional statistics. There are correlated columns here: a given country may have produced more movies in a given range of years, as its movie industr

This is interesting, and I would like to know how it actually works, but I can’t understand the tech page. I tried. Could you write that by hand? It would make it a lot easier to understand. I’d also recommend removing the various mentions

Houses are also often poorly laid out. I’m not sure if it’s a side effect of open concept, or cheap builders, but it’s definitely a thing. I toured a new build community north of Austin once that mostly had < 2000 sf homes, and they felt

I agree. I grew up poor, was accepted to every college I applied to, but couldn’t afford any of them so I joined the Navy instead. 10 years later, after a brief stint as an Electrical Distribution Engineer, Samsung hired me because one of t

You can skip `tr` as well - works on BSD awk and GNU awk. { $0 = tolower($0) gsub(/[^[:alpha:]]/, "\n") for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++) { if (!($i in freq)) order[++n] = $i

DHH compared Romani people to wolves [0]. I am so very, very tired of having to even consider, let alone make decisions about, the technical vs. political merits of products. It’d be so great if CEOs would keep their views to themselves. 0:

I assumed this would be a rant against cloud services, but alas, no. I do find it doubtful that OP couldn’t skip most of their setup, though; if you have HomeAssistant (which they do), and there’s a direct path from Blink -> Alexa, I’m f

Agreed. I have an M1 Air base model (also an M4 Pro), and hated the squared-off change for the M2. The wedge was the entire point.

Agreed. Plus, if you can get an entire team to tell the PM “this is fucking stupid, we aren’t doing it,” what are they gonna do - axe an entire team? I doubt it. Maybe at big companies, but small ones? Nah.

Sonos’ app is another example of this. As a very brief tl;dr if anyone isn’t aware of it, Sonos is a wireless speaker company that can group speakers in different rooms into zones, so you can have different music playing in different rooms,
