Thanks! I'll be doing this soon too then. Most of my apps don't rely on too many obscure packages and / or really large scientific computing packages, so I doubt I'll run into many problems either.

So if I have an existing Django application in production, assuming no package compatibility issues, how long might it take to get it running with PyPy?

- The US knew about 9/11 and let it happen. Pretty likely IMO. A while back I summed up some of the evidence that I've come across in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14136336 If any of my summ

I really don't understand your point either. Imagine Srinivasa Ramanujan living to be 500 years old rather than 32, or Leonardo Da Vinci still being alive today -- their contributions to society would be immense. We've been seekin

This exact same thing happened with my grandmother. My dad's brother is a scumbag and took it upon himself to spend her money while ostensibly taking care of her (the kind of care you'd expect from abusive alcoholic). My dad wante

I wonder if the benefit of interaction between young and old works both ways. Where I live now and in many countries, older people are much more integrated into society than in the US (e.g. extended families living together, grandmas cookin

It's just an amusing way of saying that Oracle are a bunch of assholes, and was not meant to be taken as literally as you are taking it.

I strongly disagree. You can be an extremely good athlete without any supplement "stack" whatsoever. Maybe creatine helps eke out slightly better performance in certain activities, but like with most supplements it's really n

I agree with the GP -- I never noticed this in Firefox and years back I was surprised to learn after the fact that Chrome had come to dominate in market share. Was Firefox less performant on Windows or something? I never really got what peo

Damn, I am commenting right now from 57.0b4 and it's so, so fast. It properly recovered the 50 or so tabs I had open from the prior version, and even as I rapidly clicked from tab to tab Firefox didn't skip a beat. I never left Fi

Please do. There is something to be said for using open source technologies even when they are not the fastest or most full-featured. And has Firefox on Linux always been more performant? Because over the years, as everyone else migrated aw

I have used them for text segmentation. It's an extremely quick way to test for membership on a set (30+ million tokens in my case) that would otherwise be too large to hold in main memory.

Thanks! In the past I've looked at the docs and got something basic going with create-react-app, but since I've been put off by little things here and there I'd like to see a working example of a larger system to better appre

If I were to cave in and learn React, can someone recommend an existing project that would serve as good learning material?

This is what I do too. At the very least I'll open a few files, launch some terminals and cd into the requisite directories, start the development server, etc. I also highly recommend trying the same with exercise. On days when I am sl

The site itself looks nice once you get past the initial loading screen, but definitely fix that ugly "learn more" button! It needs more left and right padding, the thickness of the border should roughly match the thickness of the

This might not be a task for ML, especially assuming the only option would be unsupervised ML. I would suggest using an ontology, or rolling your own from the English Wikipedia database dump, as a basis for tokenization of the menu text and

That's a good question. When I first moved here, like a lot of Westerners I imagined that I would not really be able to relate to many poorer Khmer people because of how enormously different our backgrounds are. While it is true that m

I was thinking along those lines, but don't you still make it easier by giving away some details about Waldo's facial expression, the relative size of his head, etc.? Still a pretty illustrative analogy though. How about get the c

Absolutely. I could live off the average Hacker News user's annual salary for like 15 years. Even if I still lived in the US I would work one or two years, spend 10k / year on living expenses (I have done it before) and take the r
