In case others are unclear since it doesn't seem to be explicitly stated in the docs, you update the path hint to be the path of the most recently found item. I think this is implied when he says "My path may be wrong, and if so p

Although there is a lot of memorization required, especially at top-level play (opening theory and your opponent’s preference, as well as preparation), the most beautiful aspects of chess are brilliancies involving quiet positional moves or

There's no bug that could possibly cause that behavior. Someone requested a ride and then cancelled it. Maybe they requested both an Uber and a Lyft and went with the one that was going to pick them up faster. Or they just changed thei

We keep logs of course, but we have strict privacy guidelines that prevent me or any employees from looking at random rides of users. We have annual training that reminds us of such (and for good reason--imagine how creepy it would be if Ly

IIUC, this is assuming that memory allocation is O(1)?

I agree, only because the ideas and brilliance/depth that they demonstrate is so breathtaking to behold. I love the chess.com Game of the Day playlist on YouTube, which occasionally has amazing computer chess games with early sacrifice

I think video game addiction definitely contributes. I used to spend a fair amount of time playing first person shooters in my childhood 15-20 years ago. I haven't played much nowadays but these games provide a sense of "progress&

Why would we not want to know about a tumor in the body? I assume competent doctors will assess the risk of such a thing, but knowing about it is better than not.

Assuming the flight characteristics of the tic tac are as they've actually been reported by visuals (which is a big assumption), there is no way a random billionaire built these. Literally zero.

Are there actual examples of the US "assassinating" bad actors in this way? That seems farfetched, as opposed to just going after them in the judicial system.

I don't think the OP is arrogant. I think it's a genuine question. I didn't think of the question itself, but after it was posed, I didn't know the answer (because I have no background in photography or image processing)

He/she is being downvoted for demanding an answer, as if they're entitled to one but all the physicists out there are just too dumb to figure it out or refuse to give them what they are owed. Perhaps that is not how this person ac

That's b/c Prop 22 actually left many drivers worse off. The majority of drivers prefer flexibility.

Hi and welcome to Hacker News! There's no need for that kind of vulgarity. Setting aside whether or not that's a meaningful topic of discussion, there are other ways to get the point across.

The same goes for the AMBER computational chemistry FORTRAN program. The array is called X.

Serious question: what do you think is the ideal interview? I don't think there is an obvious clear universal answer, and it probably depends on the role and company's needs. For mobile engineers, I'm a fan of laptop coding i

I don't know why people assume that you have to "suffer" to advance your career. In my experience, hard work pays off.

That's not good enough. I want a specific claim about how one or more of the postulates of QM are likely to be incorrect (or even stranger, how they have to do with "putting Earth at the center", whatever that means, or some

It's quite the opposite. QM was discovered while we were trying to resolve certain problems such as the ultraviolet catastrophe. [0] To say it is "nothing but conjecture" is incredibly condescendingly dismissive and ignorant

Explain how QM metaphorically “puts Earth in the center”.

What you want is a theory of local hidden variables. [0] They are at odds with what quantum mechanics predicts (and what we have observed). On a semi-related note, I might be reading too much into your comment, but I very much dislike when
