Isn’t this usually taught right before sort algorithms? It’s a simple lead-in to the topic and is great for reasoning about memory overhead.

The rules aren’t “how to talk to children” they’re for the show’s dialogue. Mr Rogers needs to be more careful than regular people in real life. He’s talking to thousands of children at once and can’t read the room or clarify things for th

Mr Rogers never sounded condescending to me. I think it helps that he really owned it. I’d say he came off as a little boring but nice and caring.

Your dishwasher was designed to be used without a pre-rinse and is good dishwasher. I’ve had not-so-great dishwashers with pre-rinse slots that were essentially required.

I’ve gotten into the habit of just pumping out a naïve solution without worrying about anything and then throwing it away and re-building more thoughtfully because now I have full sense of the scope and some immediate edge-cases. As long as

My understanding is that the current security flags model isn't really meant to be the final solution. They wanted to ensure that the browser security model isn't simply dropped like it is in Node, but to improve it further they&#

Ryan Dahl has talked about why he chose Rust at various times. The original prototype was actually written in Go but was ported to Rust to avoid garbage-collection issues. The real reason for these languages over C++ was more about maintain

I don’t remember “TS runtime” as you’re meaning it ever being pitched. I don’t think Ryan would consider that in scope for Deno unless MS wanted to collaborate on it.

I’ve been job searching lately and it is brutal. I’m fairly social normally but interviews terrify me. I freeze up, lose my train of thought and I don’t think my enthusiasm for my work really comes though. It’s probably not as bad as I imag

Did Google ever have a good reputation for customer support?

by pocketgrok 6y ago
Not necessarily. Ryan has said a major motivation for creating deno was to let JS compete with Python for local scripting and ML.

Browsers are moving to block cross-site caching though. https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/01/26/supercookie-pro...

If the current rumors about the upcoming MBPs are true you really might want to wait for them.

Similarly, Hulu started sending me engagement notifications. It has no notification controls so I disabled notifications entirely. Apps are almost as bad as websites in terms of my willingness to let them send notifications at this point.

I get what you’re saying but I don’t think that’s what’s happening here at all. His main statement is that there’s an biological explanation which is perfectly comprehensible. Backing it with a link instead of stating the explanation himsel

Technically, it is. But usage of the term has shifted a lot over the last 50 years.

Maybe something that’s sole purpose is privilege escalation, like sudo, should come with some expectation of responsibility.

Firefox is still the browser that maintains the challenger engine. Brave is more like Opera by building in support for a bunch of additional protocols.

I’m genuinely interested in seeing BitTorrent traffic stats showing usage across various categories. I’d wager that the vast majority is illegal content but wouldn’t be surprised if software updaters were a dark horse.

I’m great with money and I used to use a spreadsheet but Simple is so much nicer because it’s highly automated. It’s a well made, convenient tool. Insulting people because they use tools is idiotic.

Simple was savings only until pretty recently too so I’m not sure it’d be a deal breaker for most.

It leads to them needing medical treatment so yeah it definitely is.

The incentives aren’t there. It takes effort to get right and what do you get? Bots scraping your data? I wish it was different that seems to be the thought process.

Economics is improving rapidly but it’s definitely not shown itself to be prescriptive yet. It’s a crap shoot how well an idea gets executed in the real world and I’d argue that’s not acceptable for something this drastic.

Alternatively, I like the idea of sick service workers being encouraged to wear masks while working. Officially, you're supposed to take time off while sick but everyone knows that is not the reality. Wearing masks while sick would bot

The original comment was talking about the website as a whole. Nice try though.

I see what you're saying but I disagree. I don't think stores should be forced to cary confederate flags anymore than they should be force to cary pride flags (that is, not at all). However, I don't necessarily think they sho
