I don't understand the point of the inverse sticky technique. Scrolling too fast still breaks the experience (content refuses to scroll), and in a way that, at least to me, feels m…

I haven't read all of that, but the problem at hand seems significantly less complicated. We're mapping the numbers from 1 to 1000 to distinct numbers up to 8258, and the README cl…

I'm not sure I understand the prime density thing. Of the numbers up to 8258, about 12.5% are prime. Accounting for the fact that about a quarter of these primes ends in 101, i.e. …

Remember that transformers are "inside-out", i.e. `StateT (ExceptT e m) a` is isomorphic to `m (Except e (State a))`. If we want to keep state if an exception occurs, you need a `m…

Isn't mixing of effects exactly what monad transformers are for? AFAICT you want an `ExceptT e ST` for some exception type `e`. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/mtl-2.3.1/docs/C…

Both, since a transpiler is a type of compiler.

Not actually all-pairs max flow, you can fix the source and consider all possible sinks. In the AoC problem we also know that the min-cut is 3, so we can abort the flow algorithm a…

grep doesn't eat the colours, apt detects that it is not outputting to a TTY and suppresses the colours. Try `printf 'a \e[36mb\e[0m c\n' | grep a`, the colour is preserved just fi…

Recently came across something similar for Germany, although less versatile: https://dfiuhsfdfiu.neocities.org/

Some switch around the "s" and "sh" sounds, so it is pronounced roughly like "shtratsiatella". "st" at the beginning of a word is pronounced as "sht" in German.

It is, of course, still freely available if you plug the title into your favourite search engine. From the US Defense Technical Information Center: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf…

Unicode is useful for languages other than English, and has nothing to do with anyone's libido.

Note that there's also a /usr/bin, with complete GNU coreutils (or at least most of them), and vim.

They also got the conversion wrong: 1.5 liters is 0.4 gallons, not 0.3.

There are 13 root name server addresses, but most (all?) of these use anycast, i.e. there are actually several servers with the same address, and your traffic will usually be route…

It's called $^M, and you have to explicitly fill it with garbage.

I did exactly that about a year ago (except it was testing instead of unstable). You need to pass some extra flag to APT because Ubuntu and Debian use different version schemes, so…
