Await doesn’t immediately execute the future; see the example code in the article. It looks like the Dart concurrency model is basically the same as JS except with microtasks and replacing “worker” with “isolate.”

Ideally you should have both features. What if you auto-paid bills with your card?

What’s to stop you from configuring it so it says “Hey Google” differently based on the person talking?

LiChess ratings are inflated; I'm ~1800 on LiChess but I probably am 1200 in real life.

Yes, and if college loans were dischargeable upon bankruptcy, the interest would be even higher (to account for the greater risk).

Extensions have the same auth rights as your logged-in account (the ability to see people who are out of network, for example). It’s against LinkedIn’s ToS to scrape data.

Or, maybe, making a product which has to deal with legacy code for billions of users is actually difficult? Like, we know Facebook is evil, but they can’t be that evil, right?

How do you define "hijacking the button?" There are many valid uses of pushing state to history, and it's very difficult to distinguish a malicious use from a non-malicious use in the general case.

Yes, I missed that you can drop candidates whose lengths are less than your longest match so far. So a set might be better.
881.
by tylerhou 8y ago
You probably don't need a dict; just a list of candidates. And you should clarify that you should sort your list by reversed word length and keep another list of indexes into each word. EDIT: You shouldn't sort the list beforehand

The subsequences of a string X are any strings Y such that Y is X with zero or more characters dropped, with the condition that the original characters of X must remain in the same order. As an example, the string "help" has 16 su

Floors can be weird; I’m not sure how you’d handle a hotel skipping the 13th floor, for instance. Also, are floors 0 indexes or 1 indexed? It therefore probably shouldn’t be built into the protocol.

It isn't even clear whether the class of problems quantum computers can efficiently solve is a strict superset of the class of problems classical computers can efficiently solve, before you even consider whether it's clear that w

Testing requires laws to be defined in a language understandable to machines and to be unambiguous. That’s not gonna happen anytime soon.

Nit: 1/3 of a meter is rational. You're looking for "whole number."

Crime is mostly down; base wages have stagnated yes, but real total compensation has been steadily increasing. Hundreds of thousands of people rise out of poverty every day. Inequality has grown, though, which is probably bad. Debt accumula

You can easily substitute juice/off-brand colas for coke. You can also easily substitute FaceTime/Skype/Hangouts for phone calls (provided you’re not using mobile data)...

A CRDT which models edits of arbitrary text with essentially unbounded revision history (required for merging) almost certainly can only grow (monotonically?) in size. Maybe you can be smart about compression, but I don't think it can

Test accounts which ended up getting deleted before (presumably) auth worked.

by tylerhou 8y ago
That's what I'm suggesting, but I'm pointing out the fact that CRDTs are generally append only data structures and it's possible to run into space issues with them eventually for some users.

It's possible and there has been research in this area, see http://archagon.net/blog/2018/03/24/data-laced-with-history/ for details about conflict resolution. The main problem is garbage colle
