I was just thinking about this issue in the last few days. I'm working on a side project, due to the nature of the data model, converting back and forth to fit into a relational database is kind of annoying, so I was looking around for

There seems to be a lot of embedded KV store already, and SQLite is pretty much the defacto embedded relational DB. Is there a good embedded Graph DB around? Specifically, a embedded property graph DB. Hypergraphdb is embeddable, but it&#x2

I agree with everything else that you say, except for the minor point about C: we're still using C for the same reason we're still using hammer despite all of our advancement in machinery. Yes, some of us might be overdoing stuffs

I just want to clarify the point about long common sentence: we keep getting stuck with comparing 100 characters commoN sentence with truly good password from rng. Of course the latter is far better, but the average user is not going to use

I still think that the standard should just become a 100-200 characters password limit with no other restriction. That way the majority of user can just use common long sentence (music lyrics, event) as their password. I know the password c

You make a great point, one that I have been thinking about, and unfortunately, I'm not sure if I can entirely agree with it. There are something to be said about habit and discipline. Certainly, one should never pursue something they

My people, my people! We should have a (digital) support group. You've just described me perfectly, even to the point of compulsively investigate people's age. I know that feeling in the back of your head, I often describe my stat

Even if you're the absolutely best of the world, you are still nothing in the grand scheme of things. A cute trick that I do: everytime I asked myself that question (which happened to be a lot), I tried to name the top 30 billionaires

Pausing and thinking is extremely distracting. I've always feel like I tend to gloss over the details whenever I'm watching the videos, along the opposite that I'm being bored and distracted because it's too slow. Since

It's not just data entry. The actual search aspect is gonna be challenging (it's not harder than the web itself, but you need to know where to look, the keyword would be either "Lucence, "Solr" or "Elastic Sear

This thread isn't going to be productive, so in HN spirit, I would like to propose a side project for anyone interested: - Develop a tool that monitor front page of HN - Train a classifier that detect immigration topic - Automatically

At the very least, you have to prove that demand is fixed. Otherwise it's meaningless to claim that supply increase have any effect on price (price may momentarily decrease, but cheaper price could increase demand which bring price bac

I was about to disagree with you (citing that the change of 1815-1915 is much less than the change of 1915-2015). But then I realized that for certain places on Earth, the norm of technology might not be that much more advance than 1915 (th

Actually, unless I'm severely mistaken, most people managed the get laid over the last tens of thousands of years, but they're mostly terrible at understanding human and relationships. I've seen too many relatives, elders a

Somehow I interpret the bet as #1 being the most risky to win. It seems like there are still chance that Pinterest, Dropbox and SpaceX still might ... fold, isn't it?

Betting against 3 isn't just rolling dice. In a sense, betting against 3 is betting against YC itself (albeit a slightly weaker version, with the variance in startup, it will probably takes a few batches in aggregate to make a strong b

I've always thought that something really cool could be done with unikernel for SaaS: you let each of your customer have a VM on their own, spinning the unikernel up when the requests came in, and let it process any request come in, af

As much as I want it to be true, among Lisp, Erlang, Prolog, Ocaml/Haskell and Smalltalk (those are non-mainstream and definitely not bonker language) it's almost impossible for an average CS grad to be able to read them all.

I can't recall the statistical test being done in those papers that conclude how the funds don't do better than random chance right now, but I don't think random chance imply 50% chance to beat the market each year - so your

You can look up the related papers about playing Atari with deep learning just released recently, that one is a reinforcement learning one. When deep learning first started, it was actually very unsupervised focused with stacked autoencoder

That's some bad reporting by Bloomberg. The advice against active manage fund isn't that they can't beat the market. It's that they can't beat the market better than random chance. In other words, the argument was t
