Isn’t this usually taught right before sort algorithms? It’s a simple lead-in to the topic and is great for reasoning about memory overhead.

The rules aren’t “how to talk to children” they’re for the show’s dialogue. Mr Rogers needs to be more careful than regular people in real life. He’s talking to thousands of childr…

Mr Rogers never sounded condescending to me. I think it helps that he really owned it. I’d say he came off as a little boring but nice and caring.

Regarding fixing Date, Temporal hit stage 3 recently: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-temporal

Your dishwasher was designed to be used without a pre-rinse and is good dishwasher. I’ve had not-so-great dishwashers with pre-rinse slots that were essentially required.

I’ve gotten into the habit of just pumping out a naïve solution without worrying about anything and then throwing it away and re-building more thoughtfully because now I have full …

My understanding is that the current security flags model isn't really meant to be the final solution. They wanted to ensure that the browser security model isn't simply dropped li…

Ryan Dahl has talked about why he chose Rust at various times. The original prototype was actually written in Go but was ported to Rust to avoid garbage-collection issues. The real…

I don’t remember “TS runtime” as you’re meaning it ever being pitched. I don’t think Ryan would consider that in scope for Deno unless MS wanted to collaborate on it.

I’ve been job searching lately and it is brutal. I’m fairly social normally but interviews terrify me. I freeze up, lose my train of thought and I don’t think my enthusiasm for my …

Did Google ever have a good reputation for customer support?

Not necessarily. Ryan has said a major motivation for creating deno was to let JS compete with Python for local scripting and ML.

Browsers are moving to block cross-site caching though. https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/01/26/supercookie-pro...

If the current rumors about the upcoming MBPs are true you really might want to wait for them.

Similarly, Hulu started sending me engagement notifications. It has no notification controls so I disabled notifications entirely. Apps are almost as bad as websites in terms of my…

I get what you’re saying but I don’t think that’s what’s happening here at all. His main statement is that there’s an biological explanation which is perfectly comprehensible. Back…

Technically, it is. But usage of the term has shifted a lot over the last 50 years.

Maybe something that’s sole purpose is privilege escalation, like sudo, should come with some expectation of responsibility.

Firefox is still the browser that maintains the challenger engine. Brave is more like Opera by building in support for a bunch of additional protocols.

I’m genuinely interested in seeing BitTorrent traffic stats showing usage across various categories. I’d wager that the vast majority is illegal content but wouldn’t be surprised i…

I’m great with money and I used to use a spreadsheet but Simple is so much nicer because it’s highly automated. It’s a well made, convenient tool. Insulting people because they use…

Simple was savings only until pretty recently too so I’m not sure it’d be a deal breaker for most.

It leads to them needing medical treatment so yeah it definitely is.

The incentives aren’t there. It takes effort to get right and what do you get? Bots scraping your data? I wish it was different that seems to be the thought process.

Economics is improving rapidly but it’s definitely not shown itself to be prescriptive yet. It’s a crap shoot how well an idea gets executed in the real world and I’d argue that’s …
