Then how would you type uppercase letters? /s But on a more serious note, it does appear that some people are not aware that the shift key capitalizes letters and exclusively rely on the caps lock key.


Honestly haven’t had too bad of an experience with Capital One’s hopper portal. Normally I don’t care for these aggregators, but 9/10 times the price difference is negligible, I don’t have to create a new account, and their customer service has actually been decent ( booked a flight with ryan air that showed incorrectly free check in on the portal, and they reimbursed me for the baggage ). Also it usually ends up forwarding me the direct flight details anyway, so I can always modify the booking on the main airline’s page.


Like a lot of people in this thread. I was 9 when I started using game maker. This wasn’t by chance, the good fortune of some willing parent who wanted to teach kids how to make games started a club at my elementary school. By the end of the year, I could put together most rudimentary 2d games I could imagine. I think more than anything, don’t worry about finishing, don’t worry about getting everything right, empower the kid to engage with their ideas and that’ll go a long way.


Sounds like the bigger issue in this case is that it’s not clear to developers in which cases they can rely on DPAPI to be entirely local, which I assume is what’s needed for password manager style applications.


It’s frequently used to describe the problem of calling an async function from a sync one or vice versa. There’s other applications of the term though (pure vs impure functions).

I think it just happens to be that we like assigning colors to differentiate things in the mathematical side of CS.


Having seen his exhibit in Venice. I will say, in the right contexts it really does look like a black hole. This doesn’t require limited lighting, just regular room lighting. 3d objects painted with it will disappear into themselves as if it was 2d.


the question is whether or not the same would happen with 'conventional' black paints.


Great article! The led me into a rabbit hole, exploring collisions in Wi-Fi and the corresponding CSMA/CA Protocol. I hadn’t put that much thought into how this worked in practice.


As someone that doesn’t spend a lot of time in Python, but is familiar with the ecosystem and numpy. I would say this is actually a lot more approachable than I thought it would be. The only thing that really surprised me was that rewriting corrcoef led to a speedup. I would imagine that’s a fairly optimized function in numpy.


Hey Elnard, you might want to consider using https://github.com/KritR/picoc-js ;) Then you should be able to fully execute in browser.


brb compiling llvm to wasm


Using newer technologies sometimes buys development velocity, which is a good indication of innovation.


Or it makes development slower due to lack of documentation, support, and libraries for the chosen technology.


There are plenty of boring languages that have poor documentation, support and libraries.

Often it's all just out of date.
