This looks too easy, the first solution. If there is no logged on user, which User object is fetchUser going to return? Which friends? At the top level, if I were to forget to check if someone is logged in, who knows what would happen here.

It's also available as an Android app, MaximaOnAndroid. I love having it on my phone, even though I rarely actually use it :)

This is quite easy to reproduce. Wow. IMO they should just remove the password generator feature. It's barely usable, and with this behavior it's just dangerous. Why barely usable? Some really simple features are missing. I miss t

Just BTW on the Netflix subtitles issue - I live in Germany, but I'm not German and generally prefer original audio on everything, typically with English subtitles. And some movies and series on Netflix will really only offer German su

Not only resets, you cannot activate the old way in the Settings anymore. It is hidden in about:config (set browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel to false), but even if you switch back to it, there's still changes that break

There's a contradiction in the conclusion. Foucault was an academic philosopher, got a degree in philosophy, was awarded a doctorate, and is respected by many people who also got a lot of education in philosophy. So, how is more philos

You're right, my mistake! But it still should not be an issue, since according to what you quoted an acceptor will not reply to a second proposal that bears the same number ("If an acceptor receives... number n greater than ...),

I think you're mistaken about the ability of 2 proposers to move to phase 2 - once an acceptor has agreed to a proposal with a certain seq number, it cannot just agree to another one with the same seq number. And that means only one of

I've had lots of ideas like that, things I'd like to do which I never get around to. The one I did go through with and still keep working on it on and off is the one that had a connection to my job. I worked on a very concurrent s

C# has LINQ. Implement Select and SelectMany extension methods for whatever you like, and you can use the LINQ syntax with your type just as easily as with IEnumerable. Foreach and async/await are baked in, that's true, but the LI

I don't know if this works well on JS, but there is a purely functional way that avoids most of the performance hit - generator methods. In C#, I'd write functions that return IEnumerable<T>, using yield return, and others t

I'm currently working on a side project, a distributed in-process key/value store for .NET Standard, which might be interesting in this context. I hope you'll pardon the shameless plug, but I'm interested in getting feed

I think I get it. With doubling, the sum of all the work done for resizing is roughly (written chonologically backwards): n/2 + n/4 + ... ~= n, and O(n) + O(n) is still O(n). Thanks!

This is what I'd do too, and it is quite strange that it was dismissed like that. Maybe because it's not as much fun :) BTW I believe it may be a bit more than just O(n) time on the whole. If your hash-table is auto-growing, you&#

I was also wondering why simply opening curly braces after the => was not allowed. It would be consistent with lambda syntax generally.

This is a weird title. The article says that the people on basic income were equally likely to find a job as those who were not receiving it. I was expecting that basic income might make people less motivated to find jobs, and that would ha

Here: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/501DevelopersFamilyAndExcitem... I'm not sure if that is the original post. There was a bit of backlash against it, someone even published a 5:01 Manifesto, but that site is no

This is a bit off-topic, but on another occasion, Scott Hanselman infamously used the term "5:01 developers" targetted at many of the same people ;)

Did you check if the "nouveau" OSS Nvidia driver was still installed? Happened to me all the time, so I got used to always checking and removing it manually before letting him reboot.

"Pun not intended" should definitely be among the top 10 most common lies, along with the likes of "I'm starting tomorrow", or "I'll pay you back" ;)

Why always Peano numbers? If it's doable, I'd love to see something like a web server with provable safety guarantees (e.g. eliminating any SQL injection risk), or a concurrent system with the compiler proving there are no races,

I stumpled upon a good text here once, but I don't remember where it was published, so I guess you should best google it, sorry.

Ok, I misunderstood. I agree with you. I think it's an interesting situation - the broader term is more relevant, but it's also less measurable. So we settle for what we can measure and kinda forget that it doesn't capture th

You are implying that conspiracy theorists are unintelligent. Though it is a very tempting assumption :) I don't know if it's fully warranted. From my experience, ignorance is more essential to conspiracy theory thinking. People l

Sounds like a really bad IQ test. I took a Mensa IQ test once, and all the questions were grids, 3x3, with various patterns in all cells except the lower right one, and 6 (I think) offered answer patterns. You pick the one that you think be

I may have overstated it, but it seems he's been intentionally lying, including in court... Just that should suffice, regaddless of his reasons.
