The program uses conditional expressions to evaluate a list of expressions and select the first true one. It also defines a function to copy a list, handling cases where the list's first element is 0, 1, or 2.
A European human rights body ruled that Facebook's algorithm shows gender bias in job ads, mainly showing female users "typically female professions." Meta must revise its algorithm to prevent further discrimination in Europe.
Lindsey Kuper describes her experience with compiler development using the nanopass approach, which involves breaking down a compiler into many small passes, each performing a specific task. This approach made compiler development more approachable and manageable, allowing her to build a 43-pass compiler in 15 weeks.
People are increasingly renovating historic ruins into modern homes, blending old and new to preserve history and reduce carbon footprint. This trend is driven by a growing respect for provenance and a desire for sustainable living.
Valdi is a cross-platform UI framework that delivers native performance without sacrificing developer velocity. It compiles declarative TypeScript components into platform-native views for iOS, Android, and macOS.
Nilo Stolte discusses the features of the Zig programming language, highlighting its unique compilation capabilities, simplicity, and robustness. He provides examples of using Zig to implement a Sudoku game, demonstrating its low-level capabilities and the use of test blocks for prototyping and debugging.
Researchers at the University of Utah found a 1973 UNIX v4 tape in storage, potentially containing valuable data. The tape may be recoverable using a multi-channel high speed analog to digital converter and analysis software.
Btop++ v1.1.0 released with Intel GPU support, macOS support, and bug fixes. It adds GPU monitoring for Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD.
Egalitarian Paxos is a leaderless protocol that allows replicas to order commands collaboratively. It maintains non-zero throughput with up to f crashes out of n = 2f+1 processes.
Heart disease is a leading cause of death globally, affecting people of all ages, and can be prevented with simple and accessible tests and lifestyle changes. By taking control of one's heart health and being an advocate for oneself, individuals can avoid heart disease and live a healthier life, and this can be achieved with affordable tests and treatments.
Air travel planning is a complex problem due to the large number of possible flight combinations and the intricate relationship between prices and paths. The number of possible paths grows exponentially with the duration or length considered, making it impossible to enumerate all options for many queries.

Cekura is hiring for a Customer Success role, focusing on customer outcomes and growth. The company is expanding rapidly, with openings in San Francisco and Bengaluru offices.
The author proposes a narrative for understanding move semantics in C++ by describing a world without them and how they naturally appear as a solution for pre-C++11 problems, focusing on rvalue references and their incompatibility with lvalue references. The author explains how move semantics are used to enable better performance in certain situations, such as transferring data from one ...
FreeBSD's ZFS and jail primitives enable immutable deployments with instant rollbacks and zero-downtime upgrades. A script sets up jails, Caddy, and log rotation for a reproducible environment with health-checked reverse proxying.
The author created a custom traceroute program called ktr to visualize the path of packets across the Internet, using ICMP packets with increasing TTL fields. The program reveals the networks and autonomous systems that packets traverse, governed by the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and peering relationships between networks.
User needs to register or sign in with developer credentials and ensure a unique User-Agent string to access the application. Alternatively, try resetting to default User-Agent or file a ticket for assistance.
The author appreciates OCaml's simplicity, fast compile times, and good documentation, which make it a pleasant language to use. They value its balance between simplicity and expressiveness, and consider it a "damn good" language despite its old age.

Human touch is ...
The user trained a small neural network to perform binary addition with surprisingly effective results, eventually converging to perfect solutions with as few as 422 parameters. The network learned to convert binary inputs into analog signals using a digital-to-analog converter-like mechanism and then map those signals into periodic sine wave-like outputs using a custom activation function.
The author created Friendly Attributes to simplify creating subscription plans in RailsBilling by converting various input structures into standard key-value attributes. This approach reduces code repetition and improves readability.
Leta's primary benefit was acting as a privacy proxy for search, but it will become less useful due to industry changes. We're discontinuing Leta and focusing on VPNs and browser privacy instead.
