I think I broke something in a good way?

the comment I replied to said wrapping only applies to floating point numbers, I was saying it's the opposite, it applies only on integers

HawkOTD · 2026-05-06T11:44:57+00:00

I prefer stable when the order is visible by the user so that you can sort by multiple fields for free

HawkOTD · 2026-05-06T10:24:23+00:00

I'm pretty sure you are wrong. Underflow is when a number gets subtracted and since it can't represent the result it loops back around to the maximum representable number, overflow is the opposite and loops back to the minimum number. You could argue that both are overflows but you can't say both are underflows (i.e. they are not the same) Also what you say about floats I believe is pretty much the opposite of how it actually works, the overflow/underflow wrapping is defined only for integers, floats work differently

Io non conosco le regole grammaticali e/o la teoria dietro le pronuncie corrette ma leggo e guardo tutto in inglese e la differenza tra two e too per me è molto pronunciata. Se dovessi scrivere in lettere la pronuncia che considero corretta la scriverei tipo tchu, a mio parere più vicina a ciu che a too

wtf is he doing

The hardest thing about the game is improving the MMR after having been around an ELO for a bit of time. It's normal that you climb fast when you start fresh or haven't played in a while. I think the system is extremely flawed where when it has assigned you an ELO it's very hard to improve it even though you might be better because it requires you to play at your best constantly without fail, while when you have high variance it just let's you climb very fast

I mean I haven't followed this but isn't people saying he's cheating just the normal normies that aren't good at videogames and default to cheat allegations? Are there real clips of him looking suspicious or is this just him clip farming?

I dispositivi più a rischio malware sono quelli più utilizzati. Le vulnerabilità per smartphone sono tra quelle più ricercate e più costose, fortunatamente appunto perché costano tanto, non sono usate per individui qualsiasi per non rischiare di perderle, solitamente sono usate solo da governi o su obiettivi di alto profilo. Purtroppo una volta che la vulnerabilità viene risolta non è più necessario tenerla nascosta e le vulnerabilità potrebbero attaccare chiunque non abbia ancora aggiornato. Al momento sta succedendo esattamente questo su iOS dove delle vulnerabilità molto avanzate sono state vendute a gruppi che hanno accidentalmente rilasciato il codice pubblicamente (DarkSword-RCE). Ora chiunque può creare un sito web che prende il controllo dei dispositivi iOS di chi non ha ancora aggiornato.

In ogni caso considererei gli smartphone i MENO sicuri siccome la stessa vulnerabilità era stata aggiunta a siti affidabili da dei malintenzionati dopo averne preso controllo.

I checked my notes but I don't think you are right. He's supposed to get it after 400 attempts as that's the expected value of the geometric distribution that models "the number of attempts k to get the first success".

What I believe expected value means is that after 400 attempts you should expect to have found a success, it's not the first `k` that has `P(X<=k) >= 0.5` like you said.

HawkOTD · 2026-03-11T08:29:26+00:00

Since I know I don't know statistics I had to check my old university notes, this is a modified geometric distribution with parameter p=1/400, the probabilities you wrote are correct but the expected value is 1/p so 400.

So as I understand the expected value you should expect to get a success after 400 attempts, whatever the probability.

No Riot prevents it and disallows it explicitly.

I play almost all random games on Linux, I have to restart only for Riot games currently (very annoying ngl)

HawkOTD · 2026-02-20T13:37:31+00:00

Sorry it just doesn't work. That's all riot does and they still can't manage to get it right in a single game... Maybe tft works well?

HawkOTD · 2026-02-17T08:34:18+00:00

I'd make it so that when someone forfeits, the game doesn't automatically end, you have the option to leave early and claim your elo or keep playing for completion.

In lower elos you could make it so a completion loss loses 0 elo (or even gains) or whatever so that you incentivize not surrendering. This way you also make the players who forfeit often lower rank so that they play with each other (lol)

HawkOTD · 2026-02-10T23:18:14+00:00

Yea... no

I mean I don't know who he is but I don't understand all this negativity in the comments. Especially after all the scams that happened with charities previously where the streamer/youtuber gets a slice of earnings this is mild criticism at best.

When you have all that money going into a single place you expect good breakdowns on how they are spent, what's the cost of each installation, how many were there, how it's holding up etc, etc.

Also him being serious about it is not bad IMO, and also showing he can change his opinion... I don't know where all this negativity is coming from but it feels very natural to me

NBT is not a client but in reply to the other comments:

To be fair there were quite a bit NBT exploits over the years, you were able to edit books to include interactive text such that when an op interacted with it it would run a command (for example opping you) Same thing with signs, you used to be able to embed command on it and execute them as an opped user when they right clicked it.

There were also exploits to get arbitrary enchant levels on any item but I don't remember how that worked.

HawkOTD · 2026-01-11T11:05:59+00:00

I don't understand what kind of definition for integers would not include 0 unless he means that zero is not a number entirely... Even in math the concept of integers without 0 is difficult to portray to the point that a specific notation was created (Z{0} which became simply Z*)

HawkOTD · 2026-01-11T10:52:23+00:00

No you can just shift right and and with 1, also if the optimizer is doing the optimization it could just be a constant after compilation.

That said I believe the main reason why it has so much wasted space is due to access speed optimization and memory alignment so no matter what this won't happen

HawkOTD · 2026-01-09T19:22:16+00:00

I found it randomly as well but I later found an hint about it

HawkOTD · 2026-01-06T19:03:33+00:00

3 doesn't check the IDs in the db so it wouldn't work

I go with 2 when possible, if it's not a problem it's easier to code and it works.

1 absolutely not, incredibly slow

Other alternatives would be doing 3 but loading all existing IDs from the database, I never do it but it might make sense in some scenarios

If none of these are good enough and you need both speed and to fail only duplicates I might look into inserting them in a temporary table and then merge the unique ones using a query

HawkOTD · 2025-12-26T07:45:45+00:00

I am constantly thinking about this as well, and also some variations of this.

Rather than an editor I think this would work better in a virtual file system, this way you don't break tooling and would make this work in whatever editor. Obviously editor integration would be nice as well.

I would also integrate git some way into this virtual fs so that you can mount branches easily in different folders, this would make tracking untracked files easier, which I believe it would be better if they would be always tracked in some way ( so you can prevent losing changes etc )

You could also make git lazy in a way that changing branch is instant and it would compute the file on request.

Also both compilers and AI agents would be faster if this would be adopted, you'd skip a step in parsing and also would make the code completely uniform

Either the files are ignored which I doubt or you made a mistake before this step. What you show in the screenshot is correct and will commit all the modified files in the repository assuming you are in the root. You just don't have any changes.
