It would be nice if they would prioritize reliability over features. Their uptime has been terrible lately.

This hasn't been true for the CBP for a long time. They can legally ignore the 4th amendment, among other extra-constitutional authorities. https://www.aclu.org/other/constitution-100-mile-border-zone

Having worked on some SLAM algorithms, it's important to make a prediction, then perform an action, then measure the results against the expected results. This process provides data and feedback about the accuracy of your model. If you

Yes, but if you're solving DA&A problems during a production outage, I'd say you screwed up your architecture pretty badly, and you're unlikely to do a better job while on the spot. It's much more likely you're

The key is to understand the underlying data structure is a directed acyclic graph, to install a tool that lets you visualize that graph, and to practice commands and predict results until you can prove your mental model matches reality. If

If you don't like churn, avoid anything written by Google. They write it for themselves, not you. And they are famous for their mono-repo. It works for them, but it means they break semver and frequently make breaking changes in minor

How are those closures identified uniquely? I'm not super familiar with lisp, but I do get closures and memory addresses and am suspicious.

Sounds more like disillusionment with our quasi-free-market. In reality it's nothing but strongmen and subterfuge, and I fear America will ultimately lose whatever competitive edge it had left due to this.

Think of the systemic effects. If everyone ordered online, fewer shoppers would go to the stores, changing the topology of infection from a mesh to a star. Spokes would likely develop immunity, and would be less surface area to test, if we

As long as the fed is printing fake money, money is essentially free to those with good credit, and it makes sense to do all the things described by the OP. Someone will bite, and you may as well make the money. One day, I hope for a societ

According to the policy, I'm going to interpret this in the most generous light, but: 1. At 15:12 MT, this had 11 votes and was on the front page 2. Almost immediately after, this was flagged 3. The comments that say "56 minutes a

Absolutely no idea why this is being down-voted, given the grandparent gave all the evidence required to support this argument.

But this is cartel behavior. Apple and Google are acting against their customer's interest to appease a 3rd party. The DoJ should get on this ASAP. Let's hope enough people get on board with EW's plans to break these guys up

Each individual level of the skip list can be an array (as described in [1]), so yes, you still have a fair bit of pointer chasing, but the article goes into good detail all the tricks you can use to reduce it. I think most binary tree impl

The really frustrating part is that linked lists are actually bad practices in most instances nowadays [0]. And skiplists are better than trees for many in-memory uses [1]. Not that you would usually implement such a thing yourself anyway.

Totally agree. It's a market failure that a company that makes a device that you buy is more interested in pleasing another company (the telcom) than you (the customer). In a market with competition device manufacturers would be fighti

I would argue from a "well regulated market" perspective that is not justified either. A byte's a byte.
