No, I don't, unfortunately. I haven't tried writing this kind of compiler myself, although I would like to at some point.

Do something challenging but not too challenging. It should be hard enough that you can learn something without being so hard that you give up. Some classic computer science project ideas: - Build a path tracer. Physically-based rendering i

Some of the exams (like biology) no longer require calculations this year--instead of doing the calculation, you just explain how you would do it. This has been confusing for a lot of students, but it solves the "special input methods&

That's my guess, looking at how they made the accept attribute.

Beyond reaching the threshold to be able to downvote comments, there is no significant functionality that you unlock as your karma increases.

Is the value of Reddit karma purely psychological? I know that you can sell accounts with high point values for significant sums of money, but I'm confused what the actual value is aside from the little dopamine rush you get when somet

Thankfully the HN moderators are paid employees--I can't imagine doing that kind of work for free.

This is a little more serious than "you're a piece of shit", no? > I've been dealing with some on and off after a post some years ago where somebody who requested advice followed through with the best course of action

Interesting! I wonder what the historical reason is for all of those different permutations.

It might be a good time for day trading, but it's probably not the kind of stable, safe income that an unemployed person needs.

I started a little economics experiment on Fiverr a few months ago (to try to figure out how much the market is willing to pay for a native English speaker with technical knowledge) and I've had a surprising amount of success at the $0

I think that more is symlinked to less on your system, not the other way around. On my machine (Arch), they're separate: jack@jackdesktop ~ [1]> bash -c "cksum `which less` `which more`" 3407085100 179664 /usr&#

I'm not sure that I would put Snapchat and TikTok in the same bucket. Snapchat has very strong network effects among a certain significant demographic. It has a feature that suggests people you may know and a variety of techniques (Str

According to http://www.chinafirewalltest.com/ (not sure how legit it is), twitter.com is blocked and snapchat.com is allowed.

Instagram doesn't have the same network effect as Facebook. Snapchat does have Quick Add, which shows people you might know; it's also a much more communication-driven platform. TikTok is probably the modern Instagram replacement,

It is worth mentioning that Emacs is a wee bit easier to script than notepad.exe :)

Everyone who has the deep technical knowledge also needs to be able to communicate with others who don't have it. There's a difference between being an Internet personality who can code and being a programmer who can write English

Did the polywater "invention" come around the same time as the discovery of tritiated water (aka super-heavy water or T2O)? That could explain why this was somewhat easily believed during that time.

Yes, I've gotten that recommendation as well. Apparently more natural light exposure may also decrease the risk for nearsightedness. Having a window near my computer monitor makes it easy to remember to look outside whenever I'm n

Can you check chrome://gpu and make sure that Video Decode: Unavailable does not appear? Video decode should be handled by your GPU, not the CPU. If this is Linux, then you might not be using the GPU at all, which would explain bo

Staring at anything too close to your eyes for a long period of time isn't good for them. If you are taking appropriate breaks, my understanding is that screen time is harmless.

The US criminal justice system is certainly not up to snuff for a first-world country either.

These days, choose a processor that meets your core count needs and budget. Some applications are primarily single-threaded, so for those you might want a processor with fewer, faster cores. For parallelizable tasks like compiling code (up
