For me this is bitter-sweet as I've watched Paypal for years try kill any blockchain startup that had anything to do with using their shitty payment processor. "Absolutely NO cryptocurrencies! Unless of course it's us monopol

damn this setup seems --way-- too complicated. if you want to lay down and work why not just use a couch or beach chair and a laptop? alternatively, a bed and some pillows works fine, too. i work from home and i mostly only use a desk if im

Maybe interesting for making apps in the lan more resilient: * No need for port forwarding between network segments * Bypasses annoying local firewalls and security approval * On limited hardware you might literally have no Ethernet, wifi,

I honestly can't believe how many words the author uses to say nothing. It almost reads like a freshman trying to reach a word quota. Or an 'SEO expert' trying to keyword stuff for search rankings. Judge for yourself. Here is

In psychology papers they repeatedly talk about intrinsic motivation (internal things that you yourself value) being more reliable than extrinsic factors (like money, bigger house, etc) for motivation. I don't think $blogs ideas are th

The cost of living in a city reflects its overall desirability: the job market, access to education, safety, and so on. If you're living in an amazing city where you have every amenity at your doorstep but a much higher cost of living

I think I can see what you're trying to do but every user seems to share the same view? Or is that a bug? If it's a bug I'm sure you could fix it with something like sessions to have individual state per 'user.' Ove

Nobody mines Bitcoin on CPUs since about 2012~. And there are far more reasons to want access to reasonably priced computation than just crypto-asset mining (like research - or what the Internet was originally about.) But I suppose dunking

What is up with the price? 40k for only 2 x 48 cores and a mediocre 2 ghz clock rate. Modern processors are way more efficient than older processors but I simply can't imagine the efficiency adds up to (simplistically) $416 per core...

Copying boring social apps seems like such a waste of the talent and creativity at Google. They should focus more on innovation instead of this kind of cut-throat bs.

The Microsoft solution uses Intel SGX and all it gives you is access to a machine that has an SGX-enabled processor with some SDK tools pre-installed to use it. The SDK is C-based and reimplements parts of the C standard library -- having n

Well, this may be one of the more interesting and useful threads I've seen here in a while: Systems that are insanely robust; Well engineered; And have withstood the test of time among an ocean of hype. You don't see that very oft

Hello potential employer. I'm a generalist software engineer looking to join a startup where the people are open and genuinely excited to be there. I'd like to join an early stage startup where small programs still have the potent

That is cool when you put it like that. Uncovering hidden relationships that are useful sounds romantic. Thanks for posting

Data science always seemed to me to be a profoundly boring job. Can anyone shed some light on what you find the most fascinating about it?

If this works it would be quite the breakthrough. You can already get at-home EEG devices (e.g. https://blog.dreem.com/en/eeg-brain-sleep/ ). Imagine being about to download apps to these devices to detect differen

This makes me think of Bulletproof Executive's self-improvement blog. He was always talking about mitochondria and hacking cells with certain light wave-lengths and lasers. I thought it was very far-fetched at the time... but maybe he

Except that none of these compute resources are free and the cost of cloud-based super computing is a complete rip-off. It's actually thousands of dollars cheaper to build your own super computer from used rack mount servers than it is

I added a credits file just now for those concerned about authorship and GPL compatibility. Credits and copyright notices were already in the code but this should make it clearer where everything came from.

Author here. I think most of the criticism on random data compression is too far sweeping and absurd. For example saying that it's impossible to compress random data because if it were possible you could compress data forever and make

This is actually so cool. I find it amazing that such a high quality resource is available for free. When you think about the potential the Internet has to democratize knowledge books like this are really the perfect example of that. I appr

Do you mean like 10,000 valid members or 10,000 candidates (where the set might only contain a small number of valid members?)
