Senior year AP scores aren't available for seniors until way after the application process. I think I ended up having 7/11 of my tests during senior year. Imo the main advantage AP…

These are the most predictable HN comments

Lol don't worry, HN spends a lot more time complaining about web.dev than praising it.

Yep my bad! I think flipping the order should work still though. The two links in the article: https://lemire.me/blog/2016/05/23/the-surprising-cleverness-... And the LLVM source i…

Here's a dumb question. If someone asked me to do it I'd probably write code like: while(x != 0) { c += x&1; x >>= 1; } Is this something that should be added to LLVM? Edit: flip t…

It's probably coil whine? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically_induced_ac...

Wow, it is actually shocking how disgusting the CEO's comments are.

Jesus, the anti Google circlejerk is insane.

That link doesn't work either

See this in regards to the new Slack application: https://slack.engineering/rebuilding-slack-on-the-desktop-30... . It's much faster now. Also, I would be hard pressed to find a 5 …

What about the potential technical debt and additional manpower it requires to build out per-platform desktop applications. Easy is a priority for many OSS projects and companies w…

It makes cross-platform desktop development much easier. VSCode, Discord, and (the new) Slack are written in Electron, and those absolutely excel, even at the cost of a bit extra m…

Those both seem like implementation issues.
