Do you know how to create a local branch that tracks a gerrit commit? Usually I just do git commit --amend to update gerrit, but then I lose access to my patch's history (it's stil…

The article is hard to follow for me, but if I understood it correctly, this is not true: > That is just not going to happen in (classical) reality, though. Because once you proper…

There's a common way people from scientific communities (such as HN) look at the world - there's a "real world" out there, and in order to improve our understanding of things we sh…

Portugal, either Porto or Braga. Let me know if you'd like to meet!

If you like this, do yourself a favor and go watch the entire Human Behavioral Biology course from Standford, it's also taught by Sapolsky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g…

Alright, I'll try. Last time you used an higher level interpreted language (like JS), did you have to worry whether or not the machine instructions it was generating were the right…

If I remember correctly, when you learn a new language after age 10, the brain encodes the new language in a region adjacent to the one where your mother language is encoded, which…

Elixir newbie here. If I remember correctly IO is implemented as a process, which means that different write requests are processed sequentially in the order they arrive to the pro…

Yes, there is JSDoc[1] which allows you to add type annotations in comments, that can then be used by some tool. The VSCode editor is able to leverage the TypeScript engine even wi…

As @Cursuviam said, Introduction to Algorithms is a pretty good introduction: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61Oq3tWYp6V... There are two things that make the lec…

For everyone interested in this, I would like to recommend the MIT Advanced Data Structures course, by prof. Erik Demaine (mentioned in the article). The part of the course about c…

The graphs about languages seem very weird. Let's take a look at the "Which languages do developers prefer by age?": Python: 84.6% C: 54.0% C++: 48.2% Java: 48.2% JavaScript: 47.6%…
