Grid broken on mobile? For me all the col-xs-* cells take whole screen width instead of e.g. one quarter for col-xs-3 Xiaomi note 3 / chrome

> Second, absolute timings don't matter here, only relative timings do, so showing absolute time on the Y-axis doesn't really make sense. Instead, I would use percentage from a baseline of one of the data structures. I think ch

I disagree. Many programming languages are here just because they're good enough, not because they are perfect. For example, C is a good enough systems language. However, when compared to Rust, it's worse at most important criteri

Maintainability is tricky to measure and tricky to achieve. My experience is it's more dependent on proper management, processes, discipline than on language traits, however, I agree that it's much easier to shoot yourself in the

Expressive does not always mean "unnecessary clever", having less boilerplate is enormous advantage by itself. Consider that java until very recently didn't even have lambda expressions. You might say: but IDEs help with boil

This post is a great oversimplification. Normally something like that could be ignored to get the bigger point across, but it kinda is the point, so I call BS. Have 10000 experienced ruby programmers and 10000 experienced java programmers

I can confirm. Itmo normally has at least 3 equivalent teams at any time that compete against each other during the regional stage. There are also specialized study groups and slight preferences (exam and schedule-wise) for those who are se

FindFace is a very interesting piece of technology. It's legit (the authors, N-Tech.Lab, have successfully competed against google and other strong opponents in MegaFace Benchmark). It's not real-time, but fast enough (0.5-1.0 min

I don't see why the trend described in the article shouldn't apply to other forms of online dating/matchmaking as well. "But I have a wonderful personality" will know no one ever, as long as your mug is ugly. Consid

But there could already be a reasonable explanation for -1 vote in the thread. Are you suggesting to repeat it or write "agree with @foobar on his comment"? That's more noise.
