Thanks for the suggestion. I went ahead and made the change to link the score to the original discussion. It will take a few moments for the CDNs to propagate the changes. One caveat is that some stories have multiple submissions; I just li

I think that defeats the purpose of learning from reading. I just finished the Learning How to Learn class on Coursera and it emphasizes the active learning by doing that needs to take place for one to internalize ideas. By watching summary

It recently popped up in a place I didn't expect. In checking out some of the deep learning work around neural style transfer, I found that many of the examples make reference the L-BFGS optimizer. Peeling a layer back, it appears that

Having multiple "HQs" spread across three timezones would be interesting from an operations point of view, since Amazon uses the "follow the sun" model for on call on some teams.

Inheritance indeed can be pinpointed as the one major problem in problematic OO code. A lot of the comments here talk about abuse and I think that hits it on the head. It’s not really a matter of knowing when to use or not use inheritance,

After our last trip to Taiwan we decided to make a mobile game about the garbage trucks, just for fun. You run through a quintessential Taiwanese night market past street food stands, motorcycles, and 7-11's while dodging debris like d

Every time I see a headline like this it makes me think that I should work on some personal DIY projects related to solar to really appreciate the advances. Does anyone have experience or suggestions for cool projects to try?

For me, I've never been able to get over the internal conflict of wanting to build a useful tool like a map of fishing spots and releasing it openly, with the downside of good fishing spots getting overrun should the tool become popula

I've been fishing for a few years and learned mostly on my own by scouring forums plus lots of trial and error. I've always likened the draw to be similar to the problem solving nature of programming and engineering in general, an

What are the economic implications of a possible/eventual/inevitable reunification scenario that just become a bit more realistic? South Korea is already an economic powerhouse in its own right. I'm wondering more from the po

To me it seems very similar to credit reporting agencies, so I would imagine much of it falls under the same buckets, legal or otherwise.

Can you share some details about the companies that these offers came from? For salary data like this, I feel that if a handful of specific companies are not included in the data then it can easily give off a skewed perspective since many c

Whenever one of these salary posts/articles/studies crops up, there's inevitably some caveat: data bias, small sample size, etc. In this case, although the article is using a (hopefully) representative sample based on offers,

This is a neat idea. You could have a video game like NBA 2k act as the frontend for the data coming out of stats.nba.com backend, and simulate - in realtime - the actual games as they progress. If the latency between the frontend and the b

I participated in high school policy debate for all four years of high school, and can relate to some of the criticism in the article. However, I find the parallels drawn by the author between debate and today's political atmosphere te

Thanks for this. Can you also add a way to change the window for S&P returns from 10 years to other time windows? It'd be interesting to see how the plot changes with adjustments to the window.

I've also worked with both Perl and Clojure professionally. I think Clojure code, by nature, has a higher chance at being "beautiful" or elegant, or at the very least as a close proxy, minimal. I feel that doing a lot with a

Does this hack work on Google accounts? I just tried the "forgot password" feature there and as far as I can tell there's no way to actually complete a password reset with only a compromised phone number.

Having just served on a jury, I can say that I've actually gained some confidence in the American justice system and its use of a jury of peers. When it comes down to it, the task for the jury is fairly straightforward, narrow, and wel

That's a very interesting point about diversifying your tax liability. Is it a fairly common tactic to contribute evenly across pre-tax and post-tax buckets? I've mostly stuck to contributing to one bucket but spreading out contri

This article was surprisingly well written. I think the point that most resonated with me was the framing of the search for better (happier) conditions in each of the "major areas" as an optimization problem. The probability that one's curr
