Dear String-to-Integer Parsers

news.ycombinator.com Sarah Muller 2026-01-11 14:44:32

These are very useful functions that any language with distinct string and integer types will include in their standard library. Pass in a string with decimal digits and it’ll return the equivalent in the binary integer form that you can do mathematics with. I’d like to make a modest proposal that I’d find very useful, and maybe you, dear reader, would too. “The rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate. He made them, high or lowly, and ordered their estate.” Who me? Specifically, I’m

Raised by Wolves Is Original Sci-Fi at Its Most Polarizing (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-16 02:26:30

“Raised by Wolves” is the type of sci-fi project that deserves some respect for its ambition alone—whatever you feel from it, you have to admire its full commitment to its Biblical proportions, and the way that it uses its androids and killers to tell a story about faith and parenting. Ridley Scott directed the first two episodes of the series, and using his name as part of the marketing is a fair move (even if it was created by Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote “Prisoners.”) This space oddity is very

Events are things that happen in the system you are programming — the system produces (or "fires") a signal of some kind when an event occurs, and provides a mechanism by which an action can be automatically taken (that is, some code running) when the event occurs. Events are fired inside the browser window, and tend to be attached to a specific item that resides in it.

This is the Android 17 codename, and it’s not what you guessed

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority For most of Android’s history, Google publicly referred to each release by a version number and a codename. Traditionally, the codename was a dessert like Marshmallow, Jelly Bean, or Froyo. With the release of Android 10 in 2019, however, Google ended this public practice to make its branding more globally accessible. Internally, though, the company’s developers kept the sweet tradition alive. Following that tradition, Google’s developers have recently decided
