I did the same thing as you with Python + LaTeX + Tikz. I think I used the same stackexchange question as a starting point too... Here's a view of my deck: http://1drv.ms/1LREWSM There's also http://pap

I think you took a few too many 9s there. That implies its the centre of the universe for 0.0000000000006 of a person. /snark

Yes, another part of Barr's testimony was a series of proof-of-concept demonstrations on the ECU to demonstrate the ability to kill tasks, leaving the hardware those tasks were controlling in unintended states.

Respectfully disagree. In a region of inevitable collision, the car's first priority should be to reduce its kinetic energy to zero. If you take that dictum, then any action which requires activation energy (e.g. steering, or acceler

There's a simple way around the _ethical_ part of this dilemma: give the self-driving car the _ability_ to take different ethical approaches (e.g. preserve occupants over onlookers) but then require the operator/owner to select th

Well said. This is similar to how Sydney felt during the 2000 Olympics. One of the few times I've really felt connected to my fellow citizens in that sort of way.

Yep, that'd do it. :-)

I want an amnesty on piracy, paid for by an increase in my taxes, then used to fund government grants and financial support for content creators. Content should default to free and accessible, with few exceptions. Content creators should be

This sounds a lot like you're suggesting downloading copyrighted works is acceptable, and that only the uploaders have done anything wrong. Regardless how you and I feel about that sentiment, I assure you Hollywood feels and sues diffe

Presumably if you took the top 100, and manually merged then into the top 25? 50? job "categories", you'd have a more stable grouping and more interesting time-series statistics.

I'm so glad Bigcommerce is finally taking technical debt seriously, 'cos that place is _full_ to the damn brim with it! (Some of it mine...) That said, the only reason their business is where it is today is because of shortcuts ta

That was great until I discovered I was allowed to drag things out from under other things. IMHO the game is a lot more fun if you're under that constraint! Maybe call it "hard mode"...

Office365/OneDrive are doing well too. Anecdotally, I and many of my peers and family have taken out $120/yr family subscriptions, which is probably pretty close to - if not erring on the higher side of - the annual cost of Window

You certainly get my vote for "most interesting who's hiring of the month"! For what it's worth, I'd advise listing that you're also hiring a fairly technically minded BD person too. There are plenty of technol

I recently wrote a highly upvoted comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9444578 ) on another thread whose parent article discussed why people rarely read much any more. I railed against authors who overly enjoy the s

Ha! To be honest, I now can't even remember - and it's only a day later, so perhaps the true answer is zero. There was some stuff about speed of dopamine response that was interesting. It aligned with some stuff about dopamine add

Part of the problem is articles like this. There were perhaps five interesting sentences of content in that entire piece, and several hundred entirely redundant words and personal examples used only to set the tone. If modern writers have s

Could you not define a set of operations on your potentially compromised hardware/software/system that should take time x if the system is uncompromised, and verify with a separate clock that the real time is either x or x+delta?
