You are more correct than you know. “Coke” (the full sugar, red can kind) is actually Coca-Cola “Classic.” Notably in the 80s Coca-Cola reformulated to the absolute outrage of the soda drinkers of the world (1985). They had released a diet version of this reformulation three years prior (1982)—I suppose as a trial run—based on Tab. For some reason people liked the diet version. This is Diet Coke. After backpedaling on the reformulation, the full-sugar flagship was re-released in all its former glory, dubbed Coca-Cola Classic. Much later, a diet version of this “classic” formula was released. This is Coke Zero. So yes, it’s absolutely about taste, because Coke and Diet Coke aren’t based on the same recipe!

Out of curiosity, did you register as an individual? And if so, do recall how much the course cost you? His courses seem very interesting.

Thank you and everyone else for what was built. You all helped change the world.

This guy would lose his shit if npm locked down his packages. I’m probably just venting but he’s been nothing but rude to me any time I’ve opened a legitimate issue on any of the larger downstream libraries of his. Not to mention, his Twitter is something else.

Allegedly 6 more rate hikes from The Fed this year too, so this could just be the beginning.

It’s my understanding that Airbnb is pretty bad when it comes to gentrification and driving city natives out of affordable housing.

Really curious…how do you meaningfully overlay any indexes on top of a big-ass JSON file? Technical details are appreciated, and no problem if it’s your secret sauce—just very curious how this is accomplished!

What a truly bizarre response. You are aware that these “other parties” you speak of are neither tolerant nor liberal in any genuine sense I hope. Perhaps the reason conservatism has been over represented these past 20 years is again, by design. The popular “left” politics in America are a farce and completely immaterial. They are merely a lacquer over the same underlying core values that drive all politics in the country. Just running off of recent memory: the opportunity to codify reproductive rights with federal legislation has been present since the docket for SCOTUS was announced nearly a year ago but completely ignored, the party has allowed itself to be held hostage by at least two of its own at the risk of not passing much needed laws to bend the curve of climate change, we have been put on a path toward nuclear war (the last two atom bomb were also dropped by dems, so go figure), the party continues to endorse placing migrant children in cages at the border, drops bombs on Yemen and Syria killing innocent civilians in the process, allows Guantanamo to stay open, and refuses to pass any kind of legislation to bring wealth inequality under control. None of this is tolerant nor does it represent changing in any way, unless you consider change to mean killing innocent people for no good reason. Allow me to quote the current sitting president, said to a group of campaign donors during the lead-up to the election: “Nothing will fundamentally change.” And, you will be surprised to find out, nothing has fundamentally changed.

This is a bit reductionist, no? Any and all embers of hope at eliminating wealth inequality are dashed as soon as they are much more than that, all at the behest of shareholders and lobbyists whose money conveniently slips into both blue and red pockets. At this point if you think voting is going to turn this around, man do I have a bridge to sell you. The only thing that will incite material change will be riot, miracle, meteor, or—hey, even more relevantly with another imperialist world war on the horizon—maybe a couple hundred nuclear-tipped warheads! We probably won’t get to vote on that one, ya think?

Instagram stories with lots of flashy infographics, obviously.

Binary implies two. Both B-trees and BSTs exist in the universe of m-ary trees. A BST and a B-tree would be equivalent only if the branching factor of the B-tree was set to 2, but practically this is rarely the case with indexes, given that a higher branching factor is generally more favorable to lookup times (“block accesses”) since the hight of the B-tree is reduced as m increases.

I’ll do ya one even better: how about we raise the median wage instead? Call me crazy.
