I think you meant exponential distribution? Poisson is a discrete distribution ( number of task completion events occurring in a given time interval if task completion is exponential)

Is HTTP any better or is it just an old protocol ("product of its time") that happened to get lucky in its adoption?

In my experience, the only thing worse than an OKR meeting is an OKR meeting where the conversation turns to the nature of OKRs.

Isn't it 10x that? Sanity check: say 10^5 seconds/day. Then it would be 400 * 10^9 / 10^5 = 4 * 10^6 https://www.google.com/search?q=400+*+10%5E9+%2F+%2824+*+60+...

You don't have to accept wires to not have buds. There are 4 options: 1. Wireless buds 2. Wireless non-buds (some sort of wrap-around design to keep them on) 3. Wired buds 4. Wired non-buds I go with (2) personally, but mainly because

I'm confused. How do you judge the results of an election between two candidates if you know the number of votes cast for candidate A, but not the total number of votes?

by da39a3ee 5y ago
This comment is the key isn't it? If someone tells you there's an election in some province of a country that you know nothing about, and they tell you there were two candidates A and B, and they tell you that candidate A received

In US public tech companies it's standard for half or more of the compensation to be made up by equity grants. Are you sure your average salary figures are not just looking at salary? A salary of $177k would be normal for someone makin

But the FAANGS have offices in Europe and pay those employees less, unless I’m mistaken. In which case you can’t argue that US has FAANGS and others don’t.

This is cool but it really feels like this should be just one thing you can do easily, because you are storing your shell history in a relational database. As I’ve been meaning to start doing for ages, so maybe this will spur me.

OK so change the article's technical solution from "normalize" to "add index". That doesn't change the point of the article.

From what I've heard, hi res displays, and other features that work perfectly on macs such as suspend/hibernate on closing the laptop, can still be problematic just like 10 years ago when I last had a linux laptop. Is that fair?

I'm also one of the people in this thread who was under the misconception that he was a Github founder / early employee. if he's merely an employee of the acquiring company, why is he so rich?
