4€ will get you two (pretty small by US standards) scoops of ice cream or three beers in a shop in Germany. In a cheap bar, you might get a beer for 4€ though the average is much c…

If you can't transfer the course's material onto new, unseen questions, then you might have memorised it, but you didn't understand it. Getting an A requires understanding, not rot…

Even if it was still a thing (and it really isn’t, imo), libimobiledevice does a decent job already, and given a little funding it shouldn’t be super hard to close the gaps and bui…

Good news for you! 1.5 is in O(50) since they’re both constants! (It’s 1.50 because the author has the 58€-a-month flat rate ticket for all local and regional services in the entir…

Hi HN, there’s a distinct lack of modern self-hosted scale-out query engines. A lot of the innovation in the last 10 years has been in SaaS-only systems. That’s also been true for …

Indeed: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/bugprone/unch...

clang-tidy has a check for this -- it's not a compiler check but with clangd and LSP, almost every code editor can show an inline warning: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/c…

Should’ve checked my own link instead of relying on memory — I might have some code to revisit on Monday. That’s insane, thanks for correcting me!

There is no implicit conversion (except to bool, but that tells you whether the optional contains a value), and operator* / operator-> throw std::bad_optional_access if it’s empty.…

Making an argument about how people may want to work less based on a number most have never seen or care about is a flawed argument no matter how you approach it.

As an employee, the Arbeitgeberbrutto is a number you never see. You’re not saying that employing people isn’t worth it, you’re saying that working in Germany isn’t worth it. Then …

This is not the norm, as the employment modalities in that thread are super strange. If you’re employed by a German entity and your salary is 91.1k€, your take-home income would be…

Something like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Post_Office_Railway https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-U-Bahn_M%C3%BCnchen https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sihlpost#Post-U-B…

Your information is quite a few years out of date. The solar learning curve has continued in the meantime, reducing the cost every year. Especially in sunny places like California,…

If you enjoyed XOR filters, you might also like ribbon filters, something that I had the pleasure of working on last year. They share the basic idea of using a system of linear equ…

Indeed! Funny enough, I rewrote that article a few years ago, it previously contained an approximation of something like Algorithm L that some person with a blog came up with, havi…

The App Store page says " Simply take photos of an object from all angles and upload them to our service, and we will create and send you a 3D model ready for 3D printing, Augmente…

Often it’s just the thing that goes up and down that needs to be replaced, that’s a 5$ fix

https://signal.org/android/apk/ and it appears to work without Google Play Services (though push notifications drain more battery iirc because they can't use the google push notifi…

Cosmic background radiation is a thing and water is really good at blocking it, so it's not complete bullshit. Of course, without knowing what dose the GP received, it's impossible…
