After years of using Vim and Bash this was a relief that I learned way too late. For the lazy ones $ cat >~/.inputrc set editing-mode vi set keymap vi $if mode=vi set keymap vi-insert "jj": vi-movement-

Nice idea and important quick-movements. However as a Vim user (mostly motivated by the fact that I can move around pressing single keys which I find more "wrist-ergonomic" - potential fast navigation is a nice plus), I always won

A nice compromise is the GTX1080 that you can rent at Hetzner for 100e/month [0]. I am not sure how it compares to other GPUs but for experimenting it works quite well. [0] https://www.hetzner.de/dedicated-rootserver&#x

How does a decentralized marketplace make transaction fees minimal? Currently transaction fees are the hot topic and seem exorbitantly high. I guess both customers and merchants want to buy or sell stuff and not read about things like the l

Are there any other "Kubernetes-As-A-Service" providers other than GCP? I think AWS has competing solutions, but I am not sure about the current state of affairs.

Very nice. Small nitpick: I think "In the meantime ... have a game of skifree :)" would be prettier (note the 3 dots).

Can you elaborate on this? Integer a = new Integer(2); Integer b = a; Here a == b and no comparison by value. Integer c = new Integer(2); Then a != c but a.equals(c) (in Java). My point is that I do not agree with that and w

Yeah, well you know, that's just like your opinion, man.

But it can also have the opposite effect: people get put off as they think the product is vaporware (rightfully).

I agree, that's why I revised my answer (see edit). Probably comparison by-value is more useful in higher-level and comparison by reference in lower-level languages.

Although you are technically correct (the best kind of correct), it is still a shortcoming of objects (or maybe just their implementation in Java). It is just a bad idea to implement the '==' operator using comparison on addresses

If you think about it, I think its a little bit a fault of the language (AFAIK the C specification) defining basic integer types too loose. What is the advantage of having "int", "long" types that just give minimum byt

Agreed, but there is a lot of misinformation about the topic. I met developers that thought the GIL prevents you from running your program in multiple instances at the same time on one machine - which is obviously not the case. Sure, it&#x2

If this is true (and the proof has no flaw), it would be huge and pleasant (many expect it, although there are some who think it's a problem that might be unprovable in our current logic framework). So let's see how it works out.

This is a nice pattern and there are surprisingly many problems that can be solved that way. AFAIK you do not have to join() here as the processes die after the map call. Often the challenge is a big amount of (hopefully read-only) data tha

Not to nitpick, but "[...] running C code in your browser" is a little bit of an exaggeration as there is no state-sharing between cells. It's similar to a webpage that posts C code to a web service and returns the output of

Assuming you are on a proper OS, it comes with your distribution, e.g. via Ubuntu it's just $ apt install joe And it's ready (obviously you might want to configure it differently than the default).
