This might a long read but it is well-written reader-friendly analysis of Tarjan's proof with chain of reasoning. https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/98275

Not all optimizations are more energy consuming. For an analogy, does a using a car consume more energy than a bicycle? Yes. But a using a bicycle does not consume more energy than…

Love this! Took a while to find the solution :)

In the same vein, an auto-initiater would work like Me: (Doesn't actually get sent yet) My auto-initiater: Hi Other person: Hi, (no chat notification, the original question gets se…

I would not discount NLP tasks just yet. In practice, they are still used to solve problems like spellcheck, autocomplete and even words and text rewrites.

The state of the art models these days would not be able to be bundled with browsers. These are typically neural models [0] and require specialized hardware to run, and also have h…

Comparing the spellcheck quality of Firefox to Google (search, not Chrome) might not be completely fair. The browser most likely uses a client-side spelling model with tight memory…

Not sure about TV shows but for films (especially Netflix originals), that's partly due to the recent trend of films getting shot for TV viewing experience. These films tend to hav…

> no mutable reference parameters Sidenote: The style guide (recently?) removed the ban on non-const references [0]. They are now allowed for non-optional output parameters. Though…

The argument for tabs really goes that time is spent much more on reading code than authoring, so it should be optimized and customizable (tab width) for the reader.

I don't see why. It is on Copilot to produce syntactically correct code that at least doesn't fail to run, even if we ignore the correctness.

I hope this will mean we can finally stream 4k content on Prime Video, Disney+, et al. in Windows PC.

Apparently these apps have to integrate their billing systems with Google Play by September. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/09/listening-...

Just looked at his twitter and interestingly his tweet ~4 hours ago [0] says "I was wrong about #Bitcoin.". Though it is likely an April Fools joke. [0] https://twitter.com/PeterSc…

This makes me curious that suppose value of bitcoin since then had dropped to say less than $1 for some reasons, would he still be fined the same amount?

Have you tried switching to the ads model on Android (like suggested by your app's Android feedback/reviews)? I am curious if that would increase your revenue from Android users an…

There has to be a catch here...
