So it sounds like the use of rational Bloom filters here is just to get a better compression ratio, but the basic technique could be used with classic Bloom filters—is that right? Do you know how much you gain in space savings from using ra

Does that end up meaning, in practice, that stable releases are never broken, but nightly might be, for a tier 2 target?

You can answer those questions for yourself, it's all in the repo.

I love the 1896 "what the hell is that" double-takes, where they glance over and then approach the camera. Might've been these people's first experience with one.

String compression was one. tl;dr: the JVM supports Unicode for strings, but uses 1-byte chars for strings where possible (previously it was UTF-16), even though it's not actually doing UTF-8. Depending on what sort of document you&#x2

I don't think your approach is bad, nor is it in conflict with the advice in the article, at least in spirit. You aren't (I think) describing a situation where your untested guesses end up in a released product, or in ill-founded

There's apparently a config setting to turn all animations off, though I haven't tried it myself. The author linked their config file from the article, and it includes this: // Animation settings. animations {

Definitely not. (He may do that, I just hadn't ever heard of that book before today.) I think it was one of Isaacs, Herstein, or Artin, but I'm a bit too lazy to dig through my old books at the moment.

Do you want to lie to your users, or do you just want to use unconventional operators? If the latter, you could consider using something like ruby's `unless`. (the number of times I've noticed code that does `unless !some_conditio

You see it in some treatments of abstract algebra too. (Which are not unrelated to permutations in any case.) I think at least one book used in my undergrad used postfixes for function application, but I can't remember which.

You are doing nothing that requires the formula to be precise. A 10bpm standard error, meaning the max is very possibly 20bm off where you think it is, means that you can't reliably distinguish between efforts that someone doing seriou

Those error bars are too wide for the formula to be useful for training based on heart rate percentages.

That reported 26:13 split is incorrect. It was actually 26:33, which is still crazy fast but more in line with the rest of the race. > his 15km split was initially recorded as 39:47 before it was confirmed after the race as 40:07, improv

That's incorrect though. It stands for 'set', as in 'instruction set' ("reduced instruction set computer").

If you're actually paying a significant cost generating stack traces for NPEs, there's a JVM option to deal with that (-XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow). It still generates a stack trace the first time; if you're able to go sea

That is a little different, though: those attributes are for if you're example.com linking to protonmail, the header is for if you're protonmail deciding on security policies for interactions with example.com.

by wging 2y ago
So should Protonmail (and any other site with similarly sensitive data) be setting that header, then? It’s probably hard to change the default. I bet some use cases (SSO popups?) depend on it.

I think the idea is to take advantage of certain legal obligations that are triggered by ownership of any size.

I had almost the same experience. Getting 911 by accident was pretty scary at age 6 or so.
