What hurts the most is almost more than 2 million students have to appear again. All the trauma and stress all over again :(

I like to think of it as a magical checklist, it helps us to quickly check if something _might_ be there, without actually looking through everything.

A few non-exhaustive real world use-cases that come to mind:

- Databases: To quickly check if a record might exist before doing a costly disk lookup.

- Spell Checkers: To check if a word might be in the dictionary.

- Spam Filters: To check if an email sender is on a list of known spammers.

- Browser Security: Chrome uses Bloom filters to check if a site might be malicious.

- Password Checker: To check if a password is known to be leaked.

- Web Caches: To check if a URL or resource is definitely not in the cache.

- Distributed Systems: To avoid sending data that another system definitely doesn’t need.

>> VSCode mounts a full-scale invasion

I love to read articles that have a bit of humour(no offence to VScode people); somehow, it seems one can connect more with the writer.

Thank you, kind stranger on the internet. You made me smile when I most needed it :)

`env GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=difft git log -p --ext-diff`

Hope it helps :)

YouTube/Gmail/etc etc and everything that the government is tracking. FWIW, they are tracking our internet with all sorts of fancy technology. I think probably what I meant to ask is:

What do you use to by-pass censorship ?

I started exactly like this. I wanted to get more and more points as soon as possible; You would ask why ?

I wanted to appear smarter than I actually am :(

One of the reasons was to fill the void of me not being able to socialize. Eventually as time progressed, I stopped caring about these fictitious karma points and use this place to improve my self.

I think it is not bad to want more karma, IMHO, the thing that matters is how does one gets there.

This may not be something that helps you immediately, but I feel, if you stick around enough; karma will follow :)

Good Luck!

> Second, not every change needs a great commit message. If a change is really minor, I would say minor is an okay commit message!

I want to slightly disagree on this for folks who are early on in career e.g me; I think there is a lot of value in learning to communicate precisely and having a habit of writing good commit message has certainly improved my skills, both verbal and written.

Even though, this activity appears futile for a minor change; it might help to improve other skills :)

Being Calm and Content with whatever I have.

I think, I feel, I am out of this rat race of fighting for that next promotion, learning that new language, earning more money, wanting that ${THING}. No, I am not a monk, nor do I want to become one, but I am passionate about how to be content and grateful for whatever I have; I am relatively at peace for a good while since I started to train & reinforce my brain to behave this way. Thanks to Almighty.

Can folks help me a little here, please. Sure this is an awesome announcement. I now am considering to buy a ChromeBook even more seriously.

My reluctance is, can Google, tomorrow (before 10 years) feel that, ahh no we are bored of this so let's not do it. Google has a history of introducing stuff that people start to rely on and then kill it; I still wish Inbox had not been killed by Google.

Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love is something I would encourage going through if you are unsure about what you don't know.

Although it's based on 3.x kernel, it still is pretty relevant.

Good Luck!

I don't think the compile times of Go can be even compared with Rust or any major compiled language.

It does compile extremely quickly; Rust on the other end lies completely opposite on that spectrum IMO.

Although, both languages are "modern", both have their pros & cons.

Although this may sound like a pink elephant, but I would really want something that has the guard-rails, expresiveness & performance of Rust with the simplicity & compile-time speed of Go.

The former of the books is introductory material which is taught at the Bachelors Level while the other book is more rigours and suited as a masters/research level book.

What makes this a "WoWW!", is not that this is the first time humans sent something to the moon, but when one factors in the budget relative to others.

Although, I do not have reference for what the exact budget was/is.
