Early return makes it easy to reason that the rest of the code in the function is unrelated to whatever you're checking for right now. Having multiple exit points in a function is not the end the world. If you need to print()/log(

Yes, it basically means "solve 𝐗𝛉 = y for 𝛉", for which inverting 𝐗 is one of the many methods that can be used to solve it. MATLAB also has the same backslash operator to mean the same thing.

The compiler cannot catch logic or design errors. If you made a mistake when designing the algorithm and implemented it as it is, you'd need to debug anyway. Sometimes it's something as simple as missing a minus symbol somewhere i

I went back to see what changes I made to my local checkout. It seems I never made as far as to implementing subpixel rendering. I think I experimented with subpixel stuff on some other medium (maybe used GIMP to do the shifting manually, I

TeXmacs is one of those apps that I reinstall from time to time when I want to scribble some math notes and find the split screen setup of most LaTeX editors or Markdown with preview too distracting. It is hands down the most pleasant to us

I don't know much about how A/C works, whether the dehumidifier mechanism can be decoupled from the cooling mechanism. If it can't, then shouldn't the thermostat be coupled to a hygrostat so that that A/C runs when

People get hungry and need to buy food. Shoes and clothing become worn and eventually need to be replaced (unless if people are willing to put up with decreased quality of life). Eventually people need to spend money, even if it may take lo

The closest you get to having a RAD IDE for WinForms is probably Lazarus, but it's based on Pascal. For BASIC, there's a project called WinFBE which seems to be in active development.

Since the user didn't show what happens when the submit button is pressed, I'm keen to believe that the pop-up is just a fake gimmick that just leads to the App Store to have the user write the review and rate the app manually.

This article screams survivorship bias so much that it's hard to take without modest amount of salt. The paragraph that takes law as example makes a case that, based on the data from the linked Hamilton Project study (which itself used

Are you talking about base-2 multiplication for fixed word-length integer? The paper seems to be talking about BigInt multiplication.

What kind of calculator do you need for high schools anyway? Is there a reason why Casio isn't as popular? It's cheap, more responsive than TI (from my experience with TI-83).

Actually, the only page in the site to claim "open source" with regards to the calculator is a blog article[1] by a non-technical staff. Elsewhere, it is only referred to as an "open" graphing calculator. The HN submissi

Having backlit screen is probably the reason why it needs lithium battery in the first place, as a simple pack of 4 AA batteries wouldn't last as long. Lithium battery has a life cycle of around 1000-2000 charges, and may deteriorate e

If this is for deserialisation then it's okay for x[0] to be signed. You just need to recast the result as int32_t (or simply assign to an int32_t variable without any cast) and it is not UB.

Wow. The function produces identical code when inlined, so why does the C version require that memcpy when it's not inlined?

That might prove to be a difficult endeavour for foundries that do not design their own chips.

Python is not typeless as in the sense of B. In B, everything is int, while in Python you still have floats and other stuff. Sure, Python does need declarations but that's called duck typing.

I feel like I'd be doing you a disservice by telling you the differences (see also https://xkcd.com/1015/ ). So please forgive me. The most obvious difference would be the shapes of 'a', 'l', &#

The only way the data can lose value is when everyone in the list change their numbers. If making it public drives them to do that, then good, but the inertia to do that is so big that I doubt most would. Spammers and marketers don't c

The opposing view is that the leaked data is only valid up to the time of the leak, and there is no guarantee it doesn't go stale, while Facebook has the fresh data.

I'm not sure if you and GP share the same notion of stutter or not. I never saw stutters when limiting the game at 24 or 30 fps while playing on a 60 Hz LCD monitor in the past. It stutters only when the fps is not constant.

I came across this issue when I was pondering whether to buy the English edition or the Japanese edition of Uncle Bob's Clean Code. Luckily I saw the reviews saying that the English one was counterfeit, so I went with the Japanese one

I don't have experience with MacOS to comment, but at least in Windows it's pretty much the same: as soon as you get the user to click OK in the UAC prompt, everything is fair game after that. Is there even a model desktop OS we c

And when that catches on, Tesla will start producing cars that look very similar to the ones from other manufacturers, so that people would have to drive carefully around every car as well.

The actual issue is that reality has a bias towards people with deep pockets.

How do you assign value to that currency? What is crypto about it?

A vertex on an nD hypercube has n neighbours, so how do you manage to colour it to have √n neighbours? Shouldn't it be n? If it's √n, then do you round it up or down?
