Leetcode is about learning an algorithm/data structure. Programming in general is about much more than that. Knowing minimax and ring buffers doesn’t help much in knowing whether what your LLM does makes sense. For that you need to wor

I looked them up, and they’re not lisp (or s-expressions) SERVER=(DESCRIPTION (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=MyHost)(PORT=MyPort))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MyOracleSID)));uid=myUsername;pwd=myPassword;

Very telling that you think it’s comparable. An engineering manager doesn’t manage a random bunch of international people, but a smaller group of (company culturally) vetted people.

I unfortunately agree, this reads heavily AI generated. I was not able to follow the reasoning, e.g. management of backward and forward compatibility seems broken.

Always glad to see authors on here. Thanks for your insight! Since they had to rewrite the build file for their program I also assume that something is missing. Didn’t see any mention of verifying that. I also really didn’t like their denig

You don’t know Germany, you know Berlin. You don’t have insight into German lifestyle, you have insight into that one woman’s family’s lifestyle (and only less than a year, you’re not a family member at that point).

Out of the last 28 years they have spent only 4 in the opposition. SPD together with CDU are the two major parties shaping Germany. As opposition they also always had a majority veto right.

Architecture has always been a great fit for VR. Game engines like unreal engine integrate both VR and architecture software for example.

Selling skins is what they used to do originally, which was their edge over their competition that didn’t want to do F2P. Nowadays they engage in gacha, with skins effectively costing hundreds or thousands of dollars. Backed by statistics,

Note that this is not a “valid” C program according to the standard. The standard allows for freestanding and hosted environments. Freestanding allows for the entry point to be called something else than main, but there are other requiremen

It’s a common thing. For example the chess event in World of Warcraft Burning Crusade was done by placing invisible bunnies in a grid for the chess figures to target and move towards.

I don’t know zig syntax, but wouldn’t it be possible to put this common pattern into a macro and simplify it to mostly a lambda on V?

I also stopped reading the article there. This is major version 4 of a library about providing higher level db actions, i.e. transactions are paramount to make them atomic

If I was going to pretend I’m sick I’d just say I have diarrhea. There’s no way for the doctor to check it. So yea this is theater.

In Germany there’s private insurance which can only be chosen by people of higher salary and good health because the rate depends on their condition when they sign up. So this data would be biased towards sick people, people doing jobs that

People would love to build their own servers (and run AI or other workloads on them) and kids would love to build their first PC, but big tech is buying all the hardware and stuffing it into data centers. You make it sound like they asked f

At that point does your keyboard even still have arrow keys?

by eska 3mo ago
Sorry to be blunt, but if you don’t want to spend effort on touch typing (and therefore avoid arrow keys), learning vim motions is rather pointless and you might as well not bother.

I just looked up the compression rate of FFV1 because I never thought about this. It’s apparently 4x. More would be possible, but increase computational requirements. Another use cases seems to be archival of historical footage.

I don’t think that you guys should be debating compressed vs uncompressed, but lossy compression vs lossless compression. Your math seems to derive from a naive storage format.

It should be illegal to have others purchase what you as a company only licensed and therefore aren’t legally allowed to sell.

I’d still use a byte slice for that. Some formats may mix encodings, or have a text header and binary payload. For those cases one would need to use memchr for the first byte, then compare the remaining few bytes. So I don’t think it would

Even if you don’t use Facebook they have a “shadow profile” of you. One of the things that is different on the modern internet.

For context, initial WoW was developed until 2005, and up to roughly 2003 Blizzard was going to release it only for the US and Korea, because they thought “Europeans only play racing games” (source: WoW dev diary by Staats)
