A simple and intuitive explanation of what Hash Array Mapped Tries are and where they're used.

HAMTs are frequently used in functional programming languages, such as Clojure and Scala in order to implement persistent data structures like maps and sets. HAMTs provide efficient lookup, insertion, and deletion operations while ensuring immutability. They’re also well-suited for concurrent environments where multiple threads or processes access and modify shared data structures simultaneously. Their structural sharing property allows for efficient copying and sharing of data, reducing the need for expensive locking mechanisms.

The great game of Pot Limit Omaha is arguably the most profitable poker game to play in the modern era. The average PLO player tends to be much less studied than the average No Limit Hold'em player, so you can gain a big edge by learning the fundamentals. That's what this episode of Upswing Poker Level-Up is here to teach you as high stakes PLO specialist Dylan Weisman joins Mike Brady.

In this video, we dive into Playwright's "page.goto()" and understand why it could be slowing down your end-to-end tests. We start with an example script and then walk you through the Playwright UI mode to understand how resource loading can delay the "page.goto()" call.

We also look into the different "waitUntil" configurations and check how they affect the speed of your tests. Enjoy, and drop any questions or comments below!

If you're defining absolute width or height for an absolute positioned element, you can use auto margin to lay out these elements.

.box {
  position: absolute;

  width: 7rem;

Contractor who remodeled our bathroom used non-sanded grout between bathtub (acrylic) and first layer of tile. He said that he recommends that instead of caulk as caulk will be trapping moisture and

• FILL THE TUB TO WEIGH IT DOWN!

• Take your time. Don't rush it or you'll be doing it again within a year or two. It might take two nights to get the old caulk all out. So what. You want a job that will last.

• Clean out all the old caulk. Use a 1" paint scraper, razor blade scraper, knife, maybe high grit sandpaper so long as the part sanded will be caulked over.

• Buy the most expensive Tub and Tile caulk you can find. I prefer GE. You don't want to have to do the job again and $10 - $15 isn't much when you consider the aggravation of redoing it.

• Right before caulking saturate a portion of a clean cloth with rubbing alcohol and force it into the joint. Wipe it once from each direction to make sure its clean. Then let it dry.

• Cut the caulk tube diameter to the width of the average gap.

• Caulk the gap, not the tub or tile outside surface. The caulk needs to contact both inner surfaces, but for aesthetics, don't overlap the two outside surfaces more than about 1/8".

• After caulking the gap along one wall, dip the smallest finger that will bridge the gap in rubbing alcohol and quickly and firmly wipe straight down the gap. If not suitable, wipe the finger with a piece of toilet paper, fold, discard, re-Hopdip finger in alcohol, and repeat.

• PULL TAPE IMMEDIATELY! DON'T LET THE CAULK SET

Your project's README stinks. Let's make it better, together!Your project's README on Github is your project's landing page, your one chance to land a solid first impression with a new user. So why are so many READMEs so boring? With minimal effort, you can make a lasting impression that win over users who might otherwise move on to another project instead.

Jason Crome will show you some techniques for making an eye-popping README for your project, using Request Tracker, Dancer, and other popular projects as models for what can be done. By the end of this short talk, you'll be able to take your project's README to the next level and set yourself apart from other open source projects.

paul buchheit on the advent of gmail, insurgents vs. gatekeepers, the future of san francisco, ai,

An insurgent is never going to be successful working for gatekeepers, because from the gatekeeper perspective, the person just lacks maturity. They're doing these things that are obviously risky. That's the nature of throwing bombs: you don't exactly know what's going to happen.

Famously, we had one line of JavaScript in the entire product, which was when you go to the homepage, there was one snippet of JavaScript that would put the focus in the search box. That was the only JavaScript at Google. So Google had this kind of anti-JavaScript thing, that was also partially technical snobbery. One of the senior technical people said, “You can never scale anything in JavaScript, it’s basically just shit, the project will just turn to garbage.” And actually Eric Schmidt even said, “Oh yeah, my friend at some other big company tried this, it doesn't work.” There was a lot of ‘This has been done before, you just don't know why it can't work.’

Gatekeepers are one hundred percent anchored to stopping bad things from happening, and they have no concept that when you stop bad things from happening, you are inherently stopping good things from happening as well. You can't ever deliver something that's 100 percent good. If you deliver 80 percent good, that's pretty good. But if you try to go for 100% — if you try to be perfect — what you get is nothing. Innovation is inherently not clean.

The easiest way to quickly assess different cuts of wood is to look at the end grain.
