I'm not sure I fully understand this. Is the speed difference caused by the options limiting the use of pre-computed nodes? As in, looking for guarded bike roads limits the search for pre-computed nodes' lengths and the search ha

I don't really buy this argument: each pre-computed route could be tagged `{toll: false, highway: true, elevation: 15, scenic: 0.9}` and such, making it almost trivial to filter given options.

You can't really remove the selection effect of higher paid developers choosing to be remote by adding external controls. You could try using an instrument for remote work or use a Simultaneous Equation Model to remove the selection ef

I am getting confused now. My ESL'ness might be getting in the way of us communicating. Based on how the okay sign thing went, with all of its false positives (which are the innocent victims), I don't think the "dog whistles&

I agree that 1488 is a signal, but don't agree that it is invisible. The implied meaning is just a google search away. >if someone is on a rant about how immigrants are ruining the country I'd say this is the actual reason you

You are defending the Motte here, while someone on this thread is being called a white supremacist for defending the phrase "It's okay to be white". Your example is bad anyway, because 1488 does not have any clear alternative

Pretty basic signaling: people I don't like like it, so I don't like it. They are basically giving horrible people too much control over their thoughts.

All this dogwhistling stuff is fun and games until you start to put innocent people under fire for dogwhistling. If more people start reading Nazi propaganda just to avoid dogwhistling, you will have created more enemies as a second order e

Actually I hope they do, because an arbitration DDOS will cause them much more pain than a case action.

Seeing the quality and attitudes of the students, I don't think having limited access to university would be a bad thing.

I love the idea. Is there any way to programmatically distort a digital signature so that I can avoid printing the signature pdf too?

Last time I used a locker for delivery, they tried to deliver twice when no lockers were available, broke the item on the second try and then gave a refund instead. I think the experience varies.

Consistently assigning work to big firms who consistently screw up... All they want to do is show that "they're trying", and the charade will continue until someone does get fired for buying IBN.

They accidentally whitelisted Chinese servers for non-Chinese users. What does that have to do with anything technical or scaling? It'd be a scaling mistake if the whitelists didn't exist because they thought Chinese servers would

Canon is whatever your heart (or in the case of roms, the speedrunning community) declares it to be. I'd previously be arguing for authorial intent, but JK Rowling ruined it for everyone.

The only difference is a matter of alphabets. Is English more readable than Japanese because the words aren't as condensed?

They should have taken timely precautions instead of trying to go all out after they found out the cat was out of the bag. I find it apalling that they took forever to cancel Chinese/Iranian/Italian flights, but now it's time

Replying to the sibling comment, We invented mathematics because practical thinking leaves us without answers at some points. You are free to axiomatically choose "all([]) = false", but then you'll find out that many mathem

That’s just wrong. JS uses ropes for the string implementation, so even the inefficient left padding is O(n).

Based on my experience here, figuring out how to run your service very cheaply is quite simple: 1. Set up a somewhat convoluted, definitely not efficient, but kind-of cheap setup 2. Write a blog post bragging about it 3. Submit on HN 4. Tak

Honestly, I think the tooling should allow you to write just function html2wikitext($config, $html, $options = [], $data) and then infer the types, and subsequently enforce them. The typechecker should only complain when it can&#x2

Higher prices just introduce a deadweight loss to the consumers, and whatever added utility will just be captured by Verisign. If we really want to stop squatters, I think we should be charging exponentially increasing prices for each add
