The quote is followed immediately by this: "It extends naturally to equations with coefficients *in any field*, but this will not be considered in the simple examples below." Emphasis on 'in any field' is mine. Among the

It's been a while for me too, but I think I recall common advice to use java.net.URI instead of java.net.URL wherever possible, at least partly for that reason. Also, the javadocs of URL now state: "The java.net.URL constructors a

That isn't an implementation of addition between Spans and other Spans. It looks like there isn't one in the library right now. `impl<'a> Add<Span> for &'a Zoned` means a borrow of Zoned is on the left ha

You could also think of it as declining to _lose_ a decimal place; a.add(b) ought to be the same as b.add(a), so there's no reason to prefer a's precision to b. You need to take the higher precision of the two for an exact result

Maybe GP was thinking of the optional rounding modes? With plain old add(), you get a BigDecimal 0.05 with scale 2 in both cases and the two examples are equal according to the equals() method. var a = new BigDecimal("0.0");

Fun(?) fact: it's not technically true that const can't be used in for loops: for (const i = 0; i > 0; ) { console.log('this is stupid'); } let ran = false; for (const i = 0; !ran; ran = t

'var' is JavaScript's older variable declaration construct. Variables created this way are live from the beginning of the function that contains them (or globally if there isn't one). So a block with braces (such as you&

Right, what I meant is that if Google used Elixir internally they'd likely also provide an officially supported Elixir client.

The world seems full of APIs that make it easy to avoid global state. Most of my usage of randomness has been through things like rust's rand::thread_rng or Java's ThreadLocalRandom. (In fact I think even java.util.Random uses its

The vertical scrolling has the advantage that when you are watching a build go, and you see a certain step's taking a long time, it doesn't ever disappear from the terminal completely. You don't need to look through dependenc

My impression is that there are (possibly underenforced) US laws that mandate a certain amount of accessibility - the ADA and possibly others. (I'm 100% not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.) At a previous job, that was the justifica

I don't think this leak shows that they use Elixir. It's open-source code that Google customers are supposed to be able to use to interact with Google APIs. It's natural to provide support for your customers to use the lang

Agreed. “Do the simplest thing that could possibly work” has sometimes been good advice for me, even if that simple thing is unsuitable at scale, not production-ready, etc. There are problems for which that solution is a stone’s throw from

The way I typically handle that is via native terminal-app tabbing. Tab 1: local tmux session, tab 2: remote tmux session. (My normal workflow doesn't go beyond 2 systems, 3 in an edge case.) You don't need much support from the t

Perhaps now, but the story is about Yahoo, which means it could be from the early 2000s or late 90s. Traffic volumes were probably lower, computers were definitely slower, internet advertising was not as big as it is now, etc.

I’ve used a Kindle since 2012 and I don’t think I have ever seen that kind of dictionary issue. On my Kindle, even though text highlighting behaves as you describe, dictionary lookups still work because punctuation is stripped before search

It's Go. The description fits well, and it's pretty much confirmed by the Rob Pike quote in the sidebar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwajp0g-bY4

“DRM” means “digital rights management” in this context; it has little to do with the choice of AC or DC power. What acronym did you interpret it as?
