Hashes are inherently lossy. Although a rainbow table can maybe tell you one possible input for a given hash, it cannot tell you exactly what was hashed.

Maybe a concise way to describe it is that in databases NULL represents the absence of a value. Since NULL is not a value, operators like == and != don't really make sense on NULL, and also produce NULL as an output.

Thanks for the explanation, I forgot that null != null in databases. I was thinking more about how null != 0 and is a separate concept in languages with optional values. You’re right that optionals in these languages don’t quite work the sa

Although this is relevant for languages like C where NULL == 0, other (typically more modern languages) treat Null similar to how databases treat it. Ex: Swift, Kotlin, Rust

I don't think it is not possible to enforce perfectly sequential numbers at the application level. This is the same problem as multiple threads trying to increment the same global variable. Unless there is mutual exclusion while the va

The primary use of MMKV seems to be a replacement for NSUserDefaults. I agree the SQLite is probably the best solution overall, but this could be a faster alternative to anyone just using NSUserDefaults

I’d bet that the compilers mostly commonly used would probably inline a function only used once. If not, many languages provide an `inline` keyword to tell the compiler to in-line the function directly. Even if there was no way to inline a

I haven’t done much React, but I’ve played around with svelte a bit recently and I haven’t found any severe issues with the props model. What don’t you like about it?

Yeah! I find git to be easy to understand conceptually, but the CLI is unintuitive and sometimes inconsistent. I often know exactly what I want to do, but don't know how to phrase it in a git command.

Why not something as simple as `return (a - b)` ? It’s concise and simple to understand. Instead of returning 1 or -1 it returns a positive or negative value with I think is equally effective.

When I said "class", I really just meant "type". CRDTs are relatively new so there may not be many classes yet that teach them. If you want to learn about them, I recommend you first watch this video: https://

One downside to static typing is the overhead required when writing/running programs. For example, let's say you have a class `Dog` that you want to rename to be more generic so you now call it `Animal`. In Python you can test out

Yeah, I don’t think I’ll fully trust self-driving cars until they are safe enough to operate in India. I wouldn’t even trust myself to drive in India.

Are drivers in India limited to just the upper class? Whenever I visit India it feels like anyone who’s not lower class can afford to hire a driver.
