Heavy rain tends to overloads combined sewer systems, leading to potential discharge of untreated sewage.

Converting from manager to engineer at the same level requires a special test in at least one FAANG company. Doesn't that mean going from manager to IC is a promotion? And then obviously the other way around must be a demotion?

I suspect early model railroads were quite a bit more dangerous: https://marklinstop.com/2015/07/220-volts-to-the-present-fro...

That's true but from our perspective this state won't be reached anywhere in the universe -- so there can't be any singularity from our perspective?

Something I was always wondering about black holes:

Does there really have to be a singularity? If I understand relativity correctly, time slows down as mass increases. Couldn't this slowdown affect the contraction so that it never can actually reach an "actual" singularity point?

I had a similar problem recently and in the end I went for TOML, encoding the path in the section headers (square brackets), avoiding any indentation.

I had a similar experience with Potassium. I'd really recommend to get a blood test before taking any supplements.

I don't think it's available as a product yet. The original press release mentions some form of "market testing until mid-2023", but no details...

While there are certainly political aspects, there are still technical issues that are hard to overcome. Palm has tried the "pure" Web-only approach and one of the main issues there was the inability to cache compiled code in a straightforward way -- the V8 compilation result is hard to untangle from the current context, partially due to the dynamic nature of the language -- leading to long app startup times. I hope that WebASM will finally fix this problem.

Tries are not mentioned in the OP and I have yet to see an example where they are actually working well.

Samsung in particular advertises account registration after guest checkout with "register to track your order" -- and then it doesn't work.

I think the printer connector is a bit loose -- let me push it in firmly!

Oh no!

The article took it down to 2 by adding an extra hashtable. It's possible to go down to 2 without using an extra data structure.

Thanks!

I don't think so. As much as I love using bit operations: in this case I'd actually prefer a table of character counts for a "true" O(n) solution, as bit counting isn't guaranteed to be a "native" operation.

FTR: This can be done with "only" two loops (opposed to the "naive" 3 in the article) -- without any extra data structures. It's sufficient to keep track of how many characters have been unique so far. For each "new" character, check whether it's different from all of them. If so, increase count. Otherwise, reset count to the distance to the match.

  def main():
    count = 1
    for i in range(1, len(SIGNAL)):
      for j in range(0, count):
        if SIGNAL[i - j - 1] == SIGNAL[i]:
          count = j
          break

      count = count + 1
  
      if count == 4:
        print(i + 1)
        break

If we consider the word length a constant this should be O(n).

Shouldn't USB-to-Centronics adapters / cables be listed in the alternatives section?

Hasn't this been the case since the first machine or even tool was invented?

Turning an expression tree into basic machine code is typically relatively straightforward if the target is stack-based. Basically you do a post-order traversal. For leaf nodes, just push the value. For other nodes, obtain the arguments from the stack, perform the operation and push the result.

Guess it depends on how you define "simplest"?
