news.ycombinator.com Marshall Lochbaum 2025-12-29 16:28:51

Enlist (∊) is twice as fast in Dyalog 16.0 as it was in Dyalog 15.0. Pretty much across the board: ∊⍳100 is not going to be any faster, but whenever the argument is a nested array and the simple arrays it contains are reasonably small, there are huge performance improvements. How did we achieve the huge speedup? Constraints The usual way for a C programmer to write the traversal used in Enlist would be a simple recursive function: If the current array is simple, handle it, and if it is nested,

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 23:21:22

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google Maps is crashing for some users when attempting to get transit directions. Other transportation methods do not appear to be affected. Not everyone on the same version of the app is experiencing the problem, though, and we’ve reached out to Google for more information. Modern navigation software is superior to paper maps for more reasons than we can count, and one great example is how well they can integrate with mass transit systems. Instead of dr

If you use Microsoft Authenticator to manage your passwords, the clock is ticking. On Aug. 1, the app won't store or manage your passwords anymore. That means you won't be able to save passwords or use two-factor authentication or auto-fill. And if the Authenticator app was your go-to password manager, you'll need to find a new one.

Starlink has brought high-speed internet to millions of rural Americans for the first time. It’s also one of the most expensive internet service providers in the country. So, how is it available in New York for just $15 a month? If Starlink wants to sell internet in the state, it has no choice. That’s thanks to the Affordable Broadband Act, a New York state law passed in January. However, customers will still have to pay $349 upfront for Starlink's equipment kit.

Lawmakers writing NASA’s budget want a cheaper upper stage for the SLS rocket

Not surprisingly, Congress is pushing back against the Trump administration's proposal to cancel the Space Launch System, the behemoth rocket NASA has developed to propel astronauts back to the Moon. Spending bills making their way through both houses of Congress reject the White House's plan to wind down the SLS rocket after two more launches, but the text of a draft budget recently released by the House Appropriations Committee suggests an openness to making some major changes to the program.
