Stepanov's biggest blunder? The curious case of adjacent difference

news.ycombinator.com Roman Kashitsyn 2025-11-25 22:30:59

The curious case of adjacent difference If you have ever tried using the std::adjacent_difference algorithm in c++, I’m sure it left you puzzled. As the name suggests, this algorithm computes differences between adjacent elements of the input sequence, but it does one more thing: it copies the first element of the input sequence into the output sequence unmodified. The following example demonstrates how to apply the algorithm to delta-compress a postings list of document identifiers that contain

‘Dandadan’ Studio Apologizes for Its Exorcism Rock Opera Homaging Too Close to the Sun

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-11-30 09:00:43

As the second season reaches its midpoint, Dan Da Dan studio Science Saru has been unapologetic about its abundant references to pop culture and music as it adapts Yukunobi Tatsu’s manga, which is also pretty heavy-handed with similar nods and homages. However, the studio recently issued an apology to the Japanese rock band, X Japan, following an homage featured in an episode centered around a power metal exorcism song that may have homaged too close to the sun.

YC-backed Oway raises $4M to build a decentralized ‘Uber for freight’

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-11-30 14:53:52

Thousands of semi trucks that cut across the U.S. highway system each day are harboring a secret: they’re only about half full. That inefficiency represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity. And one that a few companies like Uber Freight and Flock Freight are already chasing as part of broader business models that match truck drivers with companies selling goods. San Francisco-based startup Oway is seeking out a narrower business model that more closely resembles Uber for freight, especially

Pierce Brosnan Would Totally Play James Bond Again, Y’Know, if They Asked Him To

It’s inevitable that a new James Bond actor will be announced soon. Denis Villeneuve is directing, Steven Knight is writing, and Amazon is eager to get its big-ticket IP back into theaters. But what if those rumors of a younger star (Jacob Elordi, Harris Dickinson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson… take your pick among the names being tossed around) are just misdirection—and the studio decides to bet on a sure thing, skewing way older than Ian Fleming ever imagined for his signature character?

What is the issue with the HTML Standard? XSLT v1.0, which all browsers adhere to, was standardized in 1999. In the meantime, XSLT has evolved to v2.0 and v3.0, adding features, and growing apart from the old version frozen into browsers. This lack of advancement, coupled with the rise of JavaScript libraries and frameworks that offer more flexible and powerful DOM manipulation, has led to a significant decline in the use of client-side XSLT.

New York Takes Zelle to Court Over Alleged Fraud on the Platform, Claims $1 Billion Lost
