Recently I read this beginners guide to extend Emacs. The guide is perfect for starting out with elisp and it shows a lot of care in teaching how to interact with Emacs.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Gmail is getting an update that will introduce a new “Purchases” tab. The new view will put all of your purchase and delivery updates in one place. The update will also add a “most relevant” sorting option to the Promotions category on mobile. Gmail makes it fairly easy to stay on top of your deliveries with package tracking, summary cards, and more. Now it’s making it easier to keep track of the emails that contain that purchase and delivery informa

Hashed sorting is typically faster than hash tables

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-29 09:03:21

Hashed sorting is typically faster than hash tables Problem statement: count the unique values in a large array of mostly-unique uint64s. Two standard approaches are: Insert into a hash table and return the number of entries. Sort the array, then count positions that differ from their predecessor. Hash tables win the interview ( O ( n ) O(n) O(n) vs O ( n log ⁡ n ) O(n \log n) O(nlogn)), but sorting is typically faster in a well-tuned implementation. This problem and its variants are the inn

Berg's Card Sorting Task

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-08 14:26:22

Berg's Card Sorting Task A lot of research on human problem solving focuses on how we develop strategies to solve fixed problems. But problems often are not static; the problem changes, old strategies no longer work, and new strategies must be adopted. How do we adapt to changing problems? Grant and Berg (1948) developed a sorting task (now often called the Wisconsin Card Sort Test or WCST; Grant & Berg, 1948), used to investigate different response strategies and how they are developed (Eling,

Tired of scrolling through your messy notes? Google Keep is fixing that

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-01 20:59:48

Google Keep is one of those apps that doesn’t change too often, but when it does, the updates are usually worth the wait. Now, Google appears to be rolling out a long-anticipated sorting feature to its Android app, giving some users a much easier way to organize their notes. A user on X ( @BlindMan199 ) first tipped us off that the new sort option had appeared, and we were able to verify that it’s available on at least one of our devices, though not all of them. That suggests it’s a limited rol

Breaking the sorting barrier for directed single-source shortest paths

news.ycombinator.com Ben Brubaker 2025-12-04 14:43:02

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost. You may end up spending too much time putting the pieces in order. This dilemma is especially relevant to one of the most iconic problems in computer science: finding the shortest path from a specific starting point in a network to every other point. It’s like a souped-up version of a problem you n

The Chillest ‘Pokémon’ Show Ever Made Returns This September

When Pokémon Concierge released in December 2023, we were immediately charmed by Dwarf Animation’s gorgeous, felt-covered spin on the world of Pokémon—and how the series resonated with the franchise’s older fans beyond gen-one nostalgia with its themes around work-life balance and burnout to provide the ultimate feel-good show. Now, we won’t have to wait much longer to check back into the Pokémon resort once again. During today’s Pokémon Presents livestream, the Pokémon Company and Netflix reve
