It's not just the comparisons, it's the additions, multiplications and divisions too. When you enter 10,000, each iteration of the loop is working with numbers 10,000 digits long. When you enter 100,000, each iteration is working

This froze and then crashed my browser (Chrome on iOS) while I was trying to type in a password. I’m not sure if that was intended, but I would definitely consider it a “worst-practice”.

Even if that were the case, the payment wouldn't be infinite. 1% + 1% of 1% + 1% of 1% of 1% ... doesn't converge to infinity, it converges to 1.0101010101...%.

I’m not a parent so I don’t think I have a super great understanding of which punishments are most effective, but ones I can think of: - Taking away something that they like - scolding them - giving them a time-out I’m not sure if they are

I don’t think the turning long-term consequences into short-term ones is what’s vilified about spanking. There are other ways of doing this that don’t resort to violence.

I've made a few multiplayer games where players need to keep a game state synchronized with the server. I used redux for state and game logic, and it's been really nice to be able to share the reducers between server and client. T

I worked at a place that did something similar. If you walked away from your unlocked computer, when you came back you might find you'd sent an email to everyone in the office saying that you're buying lunch today.

It really seems like you do mean to make this political. GP was talking about accusations of Tesla doing something illegal. You came in and brought up political parties and the value of unions, making the discussion much more political. To

I don't find that surprising. Most of the communications I have at work are with a specific person, not with a whole channel. It's not because I don't want other people to know what I'm saying to someone, it's that

I'm surprised I've never heard of them before. Are they doing the same thing as Uber Eats, Postmates, Eat24, GrubHub, Amazon Restaurants, etc? That seems like a really tough market to succeed in. How is so much money being funnele

> At no point does it ever cost 2^n or any x^n. That's only true if your n is referring to the number of iterations of each loop. If your n instead refers to the number of nested loops, you will indeed get a runtime of O(2^n). Seein

Is there really much of a difference between "const" and "con"? I get that one is 66% longer than the other, but does it actually affect the readability of the code or the amount of time it takes to write it?

I think he's saying use tabs on lines A, B, and C up until the indentation level (the "int"). Then on line B use spaces for all the whitespace from there until the text is aligned. /*t*/int f() { /*ta
