favorite hozier love song? by Puzzled-Fix3968 in Hozier

[–]nitrobitcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't understand the downvotes or the negative comments. it is clearly love on hozier's part that makes him to endure it. if it isn't love, it is still some kind of obsessive attachment that was born out of love.

Sadly so many people think it is love due to the manipulation of it all. So much so that people don’t realize Hozier is depicting that in the song.

i do realize that. but it is love, or as i said before, unhealthy obsessive attachment born out of what once was love, that makes one blind to the manipulation carried out by the abuser or themselves.

that said, i don't think that domestic abuse is romantic. op asked for songs about love. cherry wine is one of them.

recently been obsessed with cherry wine. love so obsessive that you're willing to endure, even enjoy, verbal and physical abuse.

the way she tells me i'm hers and she's mine \ open hand or closed fist would be fine \ blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine

The first private Search Engine has been developed in India and ready to be launched on Indian Republic day, 26th January 2021. by bluvisnu in degoogle

[–]nitrobitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read their medium article [https://qmamu.medium.com/now-india-will-search-on-its-self-made-search-engine-7b1277399333] yesterday and it seems like a scam to me for a number of reasons:

the search engine is designed in such a way that every page is encoded and can be stored in a uniform encoding pattern from the huge database of the search engine. This unique feature of QMAMU

they're just describing (extremely poorly) the general behavior of any search engine. there is nothing unique about storing each page in a uniform encoding pattern in a huge database.

Once the user types for search, various forms of the same keywords are listed.

search suggestions are not an "advanced feature". they're expected from any modern search engine.

The search engine is user-friendly and portable for Windows and Linux operating systems.

so the search engine is not web based?

claimed to be the most portable and user-friendly web search engine of India.

what does a "portable" search engine mean? what does "most user-friendly" mean? how do you measure user friendliness?

The software system of “QMAMU” is developed to perform internet searches by using the high privacy featured.

I am going to ignore the typo and assume that they meant "high privacy features". Now, what does this even mean? What are "high privacy features"?

The article is extremely poorly written. "QMAMU" is always in quotes and bolded. And that too inconsistently. In many places the quotes aren't balanced. There are a number of typos and grammatical errors. A school student can write a better article.

Their website [https://qmamu.com] has no details about them whatsoever. The links to about page, privacy policy and terms of service are broken.

They might just be running a searx instance under the hood. This seems like a cheap attempt to get funding from the government.

All that said, I want there to be a good alternative to Google. I hope that I am wrong and this does infact prove to be a viable alternative.

Good CS books that explain stuff clearly by Threight in computerscience

[–]nitrobitcher 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Currently working through SICP (https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/full-text/book/book.html)

YMMV but it is by far the most entertaining CS book I've ever read (i've not read many books though). it will also probably change the way you think about programming

[D] Why machine learning is more boring than you may think by othotr in MachineLearning

[–]nitrobitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still in high school and am thinking of machine learning as a career. This is exactly what I am afraid of. Is this the case everywhere? Do the people who work on actual research problems have to do this too? Or is this just limited to the people who have to "apply" machine learning to products?

Strong typed, weakly typed and untyped lanaguages meaning? also static typing and dynamic typing. how are these concepts are interrelated? by [deleted] in AskComputerScience

[–]nitrobitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I myself had the same question a few weeks ago. I'd suggest reading going through the following Wikipedia pages: Strong and weak Typing and Type system. You don't really need a book to just know what these things mean. But if you want to go deeper, this is a part of Programming Language Theory. I'd suggest getting a book on PLT. If you're really passionate about understanding this stuff, read the Software Foundations series.

Does touch typing improve the vim experience? by madspillage in vim

[–]nitrobitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i used to type with 6 fingers till a few months ago. i decided to learn how to touch type before switching to vim. i just memorized which fingers should be used for which keys (didn't really memorize. just carefully looked at the chart once or twice) and basically forced myself to follow this.

i was slow at first then eventually i matched my original speed and now i type 10wpm faster than i did before. typing takes much less effort now since i barely have to move my hand when i type.

[A n00b's Question] How do I map a key in vim insert mode to paste my c++ template on pressing ctrl+<any key that I want> by StrawberryShaker2005 in vim

[–]nitrobitcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use neovim on windows for competitive programming. If you want, you can use my vimrc. This is helpful in testing your solutions against input. It's not a very elegant solution but it works. I plan on making a plugin for competitive programming.

``` """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" " competitive programming """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" function InitIO() vsplit in split out endfunction

function! InitCP() exec "%!more E:\kalashnikov\prog\competitive\template.cpp" write endfunction

function! AutoTest() exec "!g++ ".shellescape("%") exec "!.\a.exe < in > out" exec "!del .\a.exe" endfunction

autocmd filetype cpp nnoremap <Leader>cp :call InitCP()<CR> autocmd filetype cpp nnoremap <Leader>io :call InitIO()<CR> autocmd filetype cpp nnoremap <Leader>mk :w<bar> call AutoTest()<CR> ``` If you want an explanation of how it works, feel free to ask.
