The comments silently imply that they are talking about the same screen size, so 1920x1200 vs 4K is indeed a conversation about DPI.

That example caught my attention. What was it in your code that made length 24 special?

This approach has two fundamental problems. 1. It requires you to essentially re-implement the business logic of the SUT (subject-under-test) so that you can assert it. Is your function doing a+b? Then instead of asserting that f(1, 2) == 3

Though Germany and France are essentially the pillars of the EU. That's where it started and as long as the far right doesn't make it to the steering wheel, they will keep it that way.

I like your optimism, but this is likely an outlier. Any little mistake the sitting governments are making will push the far-right to new highs, and there is no reason to believe there won't be mistakes. There will be plenty. So, that&

I do, thus my comment. The key is to use this to your advantage.

At the rate things are going, even EU and Schengen, areas in which their citizens are blissfully unaware how nice they have it compared to outsiders, are going to come to an end. Far-right nationalists are on the rise over Europe.

Always been like that. Twitter, Instagram, ... None of those platforms have usable UX if you're not logged in.

I didn't say everybody gets rich. The claim was that even early engineering hires never get rich. I disputed that.

Indeed. In my experience, once the alcohol level has crossed a certain threshold, you need to be taking part to think it's great. If you are a non-drinker, for whatever reason (pregnant, medication, morals, ...) what you get to observe

Which is terrible. That's the root of all the BS around LLMs. People lacking understanding of what they are and ascribing capabilities which LLMs just don't have, by design. Even HN discussions are full of that. Even though this p

First, you still need to optimize the solution to fit the constraints of mechanical solving. It needs to be as few moves as possible, some of them are parallelizable, etc. Not a trivial problem. Second, nanosecond? You know that a GHz CPU d
