This seems crucial to me - most of these 'nondiscoverable' actions are shortcuts, and there is another discoverable way to achieve the same outcome. They are similar to keyboard shortcuts in that way, they just help power users wh

Followup to be precise: Undefined behavior in C++, of course, can have a definition set by the implementation. With the right switches, GCC will guarantee certain overflow behaviors. But a priori, the compiler is not bound by any guarante

"Undefined behavior" is a term of art[0], with the specific meaning as mentioned in the article: The compiler is allowed to assume that UB never happens, and change the compiled code based on that assumption. Not "no one has

Not parent but same experience. I watched MrBallen's videos as "creepypasta based on real events", and I guess that is a pretty similar vibe to conspiracy theories. Never watched any of the conspiracy content and still got it

Exactly the same experience here. I kinda like MrBallen's presentation and I know I can't take his stories at face value, but apparently it's so close to conspiracy stuff that it just overwhelmed my recommendations. I guess p

Casual HN readers get a very interesting article without banner ads or paywall. People who are interested in more related content are encouraged to pay for a subscription. I don't see much wrong with that.

The usage of "xor" as "sum modulo 2" is correct if you interpret it as composition of two-argument operators like a^b^c == a^(b^c). It's much easier to use infix notation with associative operators, so that is likel

Entanglement is really "just" the quantum version of this effect, which is why it‘s also called "quantum correlation". Take two entangled photons. Measuring both polarizations with horizontal/vertical polarizers, yo

The program itself, with the intention and success of making renewables competitive, is absolutely a good thing. It's just not working quite as well as it could, because offset companies cheat. Carbon offsets now don't really help

Crop the outliers -> ignore weird recipes/inedibles Embed categorical variables -> naively convert cups, pinches, "to taste" etc I guess data scientists would also just ignore the "optional" tag before running

Yeah, a lot of value is that in these "recommend a product to me" threads, there are genuine comments. I don't really care that some are from marketers, I get some good suggestions and can go look for myself if they're

I mean, they might have modified the midjourney code to patch out the error message. Presumably the programmers put the check in because results for negative weight sums become nonsensical, not because it's impossible. Thinking in term

I'd be inclined to agree, if the the tips didn't factor into the minimum wage calculation - so that in the medium-term, higher average tips ddidn't just lead to lower pay from the employer. Of course this is coming from an Eu

Stop trying to make new standards, start stabilizing on a definite version for now and get manufacturers to support it.

As an advanced case, CPS works within any functor (aka map-able data structure). A standard CPS function returning type t has the signature (t -> a) -> a. More generally, the Yoneda lemma implies that the signature (t -> a) -> f

Relatively often "I can't parse this" is still about the grammar, more specifically when it's not clear what words belong together. As an example from the article, "certified community behavioral health clinic"

Yeah, that paragraph is just their product placement and should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

Yeah, offsets are just easier to mathematically manipulate than ordinals. It's not just pointer arithmetic where it matters that item i corresponds to start+i*step. Any time you want to convert between integer indices and general linea

How can you complain about them being "ideologically driven", and simultaneously criticize them for not insisting on anti-war/environmental ideas in the face of war in Ukraine? I say they're doing realpolitik, even if it

Even if you use a library, it's easy to bake in an "obvious" assumption into your program. Such as storing location + date + time, because that should be unambiguous, right? Or confusing "same time tomorrow" with no

Presumably the "source control" for the kernel was a disciplined system with competent people in charge of tracking versions, not wildly sending around "project_v2 final (1).zip".

I would say there's value in having both kinds of renders - one which focuses on the architecture itself and one which paints a vision of how it might be used. If it isn't too distracting, you could switch back and forth between t

What problems like this (and the Monty Hall one) really illustrate is that a piece of information like "one of the frogs is male" or "there is a goat behind this door" is not independent of how you got it. You have to ac
