Here is the conventional use of Big O notation where the input is a number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Rabin_primality... As you'll see they are using the number …

This is the new "Let Me Google This For You".

What do you mean by this? I was interested in article and parent, that's why I responded.

If you want to measure growth based on another variable you are allowed to do so, but for most algorithms I'm more interested in the growth of time according to input size.

Really it's worse than exponential, because the size of the input is not n, it's the number of bits needed to store n i.e. log n. So as the number of bits k grow, it's growing phi^…

To be clear, I'm not accusing you of plagiarism at all. I'm just saying this kind of typo unfortunately doesn't prove anything.

This is exactly the kind of spelling mistake ChatGPT makes if you ask it to make spelling mistakes to make text look more authentic. What seems to happen is it will get a lot of wo…

I really love Forth and spend almost all my free programming time playing with it and I'd never teach it to a class of kids.

It's really easy to miss the value in Pointless Rewrite 5 of Core Module 4, but the grad who rewrites it will at least understand it afterwards and can fix the bugs they introduced…

Also listened in the car but since they've recently shut down the LW tower I can't receive it anymore in the midlands, only occasionally get FM signal.

The original joke for anyone who doesn't know or remember, Michael, the manager, asks his accountant to explain what a surplus is like he would to an 8 year old. Michael doesn't un…

Interesting though in retrospect they chose good platforms, Mac and UNIX are still around and flourishing and OS/2 died a death, although would a lot of OS/2 stuff have run on Wind…

Which would be a problem if it was called "14 words".

They've been putting interesting update screenshots on fediverse recently: https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/116823589548151098

This will probably hurt your chances, bypassing the normal interview process is usually frowned upon.

I don't know how this is a counter-point, isn't it just a point? Can lawns co-exist with no lawns? EDIT: parent has removed "counter-point".

My young children both love the lawn and I can tell they get a lot from interacting with it, playing on it, etc. It is a little bit of accessible greenery in my small back-garden a…

Probably because AI datacenters would benefit from tech like that.

You might want to read the article.

With standards it helps to reconcile existing behaviour, rather than create new unproven syntax. Likewise creating a new syntax for something that already exists means you are just…

The other issue with adding a separate supported way to do what people did with GET+body is that we will probably see servers slowly drop support for the GET+body approach when QUE…

Surely std::print() shouldn't print anything?

Last time I checked there's a small industry of gstreamer contractors, so it's not that simple.
