Yep. I considered phrasing my answer that way.

Binary search reduces the search space exponentially as it proceeds, so actually quite a lot of the total comparisons can hit L1d cache. (Maybe half of them for a ~250GB dataset.) Of course, you could keep a cacheable partial index of your

The federal agencies governing food labeling are very effective. I'm okay with companies employing people to figure out how to live just barely inside the bounds of legal labeling. To me, that's just evidence that the companies co

With DOOM (and a little bit with Wolfenstein), ID developed a game that encourages an almost reckless play style. You can get into a rocket fight with your opposition, sustain a fair number of hits, heal in the next room, and repeat. Their

vim often ships with the base image, so you'd be comparing installing neovim on top of that to installing nothing.

I believe that creating a traffic rate-limiting system, which is more cost-effective than simply echoing back the requestor's IP address, is likely to be a complex task. However, I haven't personally performed the calculations to

I've heard that some countries half converted and it's been a disaster for them. They're using grams and meters but are still clinging to on the old base-12 time-keeping system. I hope the US doesn't stumble down the sam

They discuss that in the article: Reddit does have a feature to export your data into a GDPR archive, but it's pretty barebones ... the highest fidelity data comes from the API.

That's not going to get through even the most rudimentary anti-phishing filters, and at least some email clients still hint to you what's going to happen when merely hovering over that link.

No need to apologize. We knew what we were doing when upvoting a comment by the great cornholio.

Nah. I worked at a company that had a code style guide encouraging very verbose variable naming. It was awesome.

That name, though. Magma does not feel like a safe place to store data.

The mustang is a sports car, though. Nothing about it is targeting the priorities of most drivers. Ford has other models for that.

Some elevators are clever enough to detect kids messing with them. If you select enough floors, they'll just deselect everything soon, including your errant selection. Admittedly, that's not very helpful unless you somehow knew th

I did the same thing the other day setting up an iphone. I went back to fix my birthdate, but it prevented me for a while, telling me that my real birthdate was "invalid" or some such, and that I should try again later. Eventually

I do the same thing in English, especially when counting to estimate time. I'm not thinking "twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two" I'm thinking "twenty, -one, -two'. I think I prefer English's ordering for that.

I'm assuming you meant to ask me since EamonnMR didn't say anything that you could reasonably be skeptical of. Yes, I personally knew him. Yes, he was a first responder and I saw him leave a number of times to respond to calls for

Your question reminded me of a first responder that I knew. He was in a rural Wisconsin area where collisions with deer were common. He kept a spear in his truck to put deer out of their misery. He preferred using the spear to using his fir

Neither fishyidea nor 262119 show up in haveibeenpwned's database, so they're at least uncommon. Neither of them look to have much entropy, though. 2x211y doesn't look very random to me. 2 and 1 are consecutive, and there ar

I don't like YAML and would like to move on, but I hope we don't move onto this. I think it's crazy that when I add a string to an inline list, I may need to convert that inline list to a list because this string needs diff

Can't you just implement a turing machine in Excel by using the cells in a row as your tape? * Store the initial internal state in A1. * Store the initial head position B1. * Store the initial state as boolean values in the rest of row

Kidnap, ransom & extortion insurance have been around for a while. I imagine that whatever solution those industries employ would work here. I'm also curious what that looks like, though.

I handle that by linking src/backup.sh as bin/backup Then if I rewrite it as src/backup.py I just change the bin/backup link to point there instead.
