You make deliberate and subtle errors so you can detect later plagiarism more easily.

I wonder whether swimmers benefit from this, after all, they're breathing-constrained (if going at anything more than a comfortable pace).

I use it on Linux and think it's great. My laptop has a screen with some crazy-high DPI and a monitor which doesn't. Changing the font sizes in settings to suit has never left me with a poorly rendered view.

The Shockwave Rider is brilliant, and the savant hero reflected in many subsequent works. Neo, anyone?

Amen. Even with those 5k word monsters it's brutally hard. Andreas Fertig's cpp-insights is really helpful, when is able to complete the coroutine transform. FWIW, I think a useful addition would be for compilers to output the int

I don't find this surprising at all. Humans are tool-users, and valuing an object's utility and experiencing a feeling of something like loss when it's neglected or loses efficacy would seem to be an advantageous trait.

It's entirely possible, have done it at few times. For example, the `fby` verb[?] annoyed me one too many times, so I pulled it apart to see what was going on. In contrast to json.k it's quite short. I usually split each separable

Surely any peacetime military contract in the US (or, perhaps anywhere) is just a signal to get snouts in the trough and start hoovering up the cash? While wartime begets its own kind of profiteer, my sense is that it could only be done whe

I've found that the challenge is to "think in vector operations" rather than of iterating over the same data. The tricky part is figuring out how to get an operator to do the right thing over an array of stuff on the left han

I'm not sure if anyone's yet suggested that you embed your code as a library for KDB, that it could load dynamically? There's some pointer walking fun involved which Rust may _hate_ but it's not that hard and after that

Hi, KDB is used for this kind of thing in probably all the Tier 1 banks, or has been at some point. I'm surprised that you seem to have been given so little help by the KDB guys as it really matters how you store your data. That's

What are the downsides of keeping the public fields in a struct which is in turn embedded in a private struct created by the library? Inferring the "outer offset" could get irritating but it depends on your tolerance of additional

I listened to a FoundMyFitness [0, transcript] podcast [1, audio] on this subject and was struck by the simple anecdote of how when ageing we will eventually need to hurry out of the way of some approaching car — and struggle to do so, and

Agree. With so many unknown brands on Amazon they had become a go-to, but I plan to spend my pounds elsewhere. A tiny contribution to try to effect change.

I'm sorry, I don't mean Hyperscan, I mean simdjson [0]. I think I got confused by my recollection of Lemire/Langdale. [0] https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson

I'm sure you're aware -- but I was very surprised to find out -- that the European CE certification mark was _quite_ so similar to the younger China Export Mark: https://www.ybw.com/vhf-marine-radio-guide/warn

Hey, thanks for this. I did go on to find it on Amazon.co.uk, but of course the e-book + paper-book bundle is different. I'll check out the other sites as well. Thanks again.

Hi Gabriel, is there a European site from which we can order? The delivery costs from the US are quite punchy, and it makes no sense to send the paper copy when a printer could do as good a job locally. Too many paper-miles? Looking forward

We often see the "don't roll your own crypto", and of course, in a production setting that's obligatory advice. I think that it's a valuable exercise for anyone to implement some of the algorithms and protocols, jus

I love the idea of letters being hand-written. In fact, having just done the requisite minimum amount of writing with my fountain pens to keep them working[1], I wondered about building an app which can record you via the camera hand-writin
