Clarification: clear (not get) the least significant bit.

Russia doesn't have direct censorship, however all mainstream media is nation-controlled. Also there is an internet censorship registry/banlist that blocks some of the opposition media for "exremism".

I think HN auto-capitalizes the title.

Grid broken on mobile? For me all the col-xs-* cells take whole screen width instead of e.g. one quarter for col-xs-3

> Second, absolute timings don't matter here, only relative timings do, so showing absolute time on the Y-axis doesn't really make sense. Instead, I would use percentage from a baseline of one of the data structures. I think choosing the "deque" line for that purpose would make the most sense, given that it's the standard data structure from double-ended access.

It's useful to measure the real asymptotic complexity.

I disagree. Many programming languages are here just because they're good enough, not because they are perfect. For example, C is a good enough systems language. However, when compared to Rust, it's worse at most important criteria, including being more error-prone and less expressive (it's absurdly simple, though). Now you say there's nothing to win, but to me the advantages are obvious: I can avoid several classes of critical vulnerabilities and at the same time not substantially lose any performance.

How would that be possible without search for the holy language grail?

Maintainability is tricky to measure and tricky to achieve. My experience is it's more dependent on proper management, processes, discipline than on language traits, however, I agree that it's much easier to shoot yourself in the foot using highly expressive languages.

Expressive does not always mean "unnecessary clever", having less boilerplate is enormous advantage by itself. Consider that java until very recently didn't even have lambda expressions.

You might say: but IDEs help with boilerplate! True to a point. Someone still has to sift through the tons of unnecessary generated LOC crap just to get to the issue at hand.

Again, I'm not writing this to bash on java, I'm simply trying to show that search for "holy grail of programming languages" is far from fruitless, and it fills me with joy when I see more languages being developed and tried in different niches (clojure, rust, go, elixir — these are all different and awesome at the same time).

This post is a great oversimplification. Normally something like that could be ignored to get the bigger point across, but it kinda is the point, so I call BS.

Have 10000 experienced ruby programmers and 10000 experienced java programmers solve different tasks. I'm pretty sure that rubyists are going to solve their problems using 50% less time with at least 30% less LOC just by the virtue of having a more expressive language. Now I'm not trying to argue that ruby is strictly better than java, I know both languages' deficiencies. However, the metric author uses is development time, and by that metric more expressive languages will always win, hands down.

Just don't let bioware design the responses.

I can confirm. Itmo normally has at least 3 equivalent teams at any time that compete against each other during the regional stage. There are also specialized study groups and slight preferences (exam and schedule-wise) for those who are serious about competing in team contests.

> Bookshelf.js/Knex

After ruby orms, Bookshelf felt very, very underdeveloped. Anything I tried to do beyond "hello world" only brought me pain, especially dealing with associations, but honestly just about everything. I guess I've been spoiled, but getting anything done in express/bookshelf combo seemed like a chore.

It's simply an umbrella term for similar deception practices.

Technically the toy is called matryoshka, babushka is Russian for grandmother.

FindFace is a very interesting piece of technology. It's legit (the authors, N-Tech.Lab, have successfully competed against google and other strong opponents in MegaFace Benchmark). It's not real-time, but fast enough (0.5-1.0 minute time required to recognize faces and provide their profile links). Their business model is freemium (first 10 or 30 searches per month are free), and they're trying to make it a matching service, you can narrow search by age and relationship status, and then you can like photos of people you find to allow searching for "your type" of partners.

I don't see why the trend described in the article shouldn't apply to other forms of online dating/matchmaking as well. "But I have a wonderful personality" will know no one ever, as long as your mug is ugly.

Consider this: at least in the bar you have your chance to make a good impression. In online dating you're one click away from being ignored forever.

I think some optimizations are still possible based on likeliness of conditionals.

Seriously depends on the structure of the documents and your analyzer setup. I agree that it should be in hundreds recs per sec though.

That notation doesn't really make much sense though, since MM is roman for two thousand.

And then you add `isCurrentlyAllowedToReadPosts = baz` and all your nifty formatting breaks.

Tree shaking.

But there could already be a reasonable explanation for -1 vote in the thread. Are you suggesting to repeat it or write "agree with @foobar on his comment"? That's more noise.

Heart is probably a supersized +1 for pull requests and a nod to Aaron Peterson.

Most browsers have a sandboxed pdf reader implementation. What are you afraid of?

Oh, you're in for a surprise.

Interesting fact: in Russian tradition, if people do mix drinks, they usually do it in the opposite direction: from lower alcohol content drink to higher.

I agree, email from mozilla would be a killer. I'd pay for it.

Also lots of jobs require higher education when they shouldn't as a result of this "education overabundance".

Wasn't it a bit too short though? I was kinda surprised when I found out I have neither suspect in custody, nor any hard evidence except the one I received initially.

This is golden. Hilariously incompetent tech support trying to make someone delete the tweet complaining about their spam.
