I want to clarify that I don't necessarily think that this is a bad thing. The "american dream" where everyone owns a 4000sq ft home, a wife, 3 kids, a car for each person and a backyard with a pool and a trampoline is not sustainable even in the short term. It's important to make the sustainable choices cool.

As an European I find it weird that these people decided to go live in a place with a backyard and no public transport though.

Tiny houses are just gentrified trailers.

> What is the difference between an async method and a method that returns a Future?

There's no difference for callers of the method, but you can only use await in methods that are async.

There's some work being done on optimising Proxies, but the current implementation is just slow (and also varies by engine), but yes, they can probably be optimised further.

EDIT: there are various blog posts around talking about optimisation: https://v8.dev/blog/optimizing-proxies

Because they need runtime support from the engine, e.g. you need engine support in order to intercept calls like:

  obj[prop] = 'foo'

where prop is user input or similar. You could technically compile them away if you replaced all property set/gets with code like

  set(obj, prop, "foo")
  get(obj, prop)

with a babel step, but the performance impact of this (both in runtime and compile-time) would be enormous.

They don't get compiled away because Proxies are a runtime thing. The impact on performance is entirely on the runtime.

They probably tried, failed, and are building their own petition platform now.

Because they can't harvest your information if you don't sign up for stuff.

I downloaded dungeon warfare (a suggestion from another comment chain) and it doesn't have ads or p2w elements. It was 3 eur in the Android play store.

But that's not exposed to the developers in a bug-prone way.

Runs can be increasing or decreasing, a reversed array is a single run. Worst case is n/2 because you can always split the array in pairs (if it alternates a high and a low value for example).

They sell the smaller version of this car, in the same colors [1]. But many pieces are not available in those colors, e.g. I see a lot of the 3x1 cross-blocks [2] in light azure, which is not in any other set.

Yeah, there's nothing like already being rich. This is terrible advice, not everyone has rental properties or passive income.

Why would you do that? you want to see the quote for 8:19 at your 8:19 local time, otherwise it's not a very good clock.

Yes, thanks for correcting me.

Python list comprehensions _are_ map/reduce.

That's literally the title of the article.

I'd start with the free ones: http://www.zachtronics.com/the-codex-of-alchemical-engineeri... http://pleasingfungus.com/Manufactoria/

Then depending on which one (or which parts) you like the most, select a similar one

I prefer games like Manufactoria or SpaceChem. Human resource machine and TIS-100 look too much like regular programming to me.

Haven't seen any mention of Factorio in this thread. It's not as much of a puzzle game (except when going for extreme optimisation) but a resource management game.

The obstacles are intentional. Blocking sight forces people to slow down.

Or the trend Apple follows of naming their devices Macs /s

Oneplus also has this kind of shitty ads. All Oneplus owners got a notification when the 5 was released.

Can't recommend Manufactoria enough. It's from the same author.

Indeed, but for the attack discussed here (someone calls support and pretends they're you) you don't need that much entropy, as you can't test different phrases quickly.

Maybe rotating your head affects how you perceive the noise.

You can select any arbitrary tile. The opposite corner tile, or any random one in the edge if it's a maze you need to traverse.

Your example also presents undefined behaviour, so the compiler is free to do whatever it wants.
