I think it's nostalgia. CDE and Motif were uniquely ugly. I preferred Openwindow (Sunview) so much.

So true. For some low latency applications, anything above the bare minimal virtualization is not acceptable. For what I do, in theory, many things should not impact results. In practice, anything that upon measurement impact results is str

Better than the Betteridge law of headlines, I present you the nonsense law of headlines: if once inverted, the headline still sound something that may be written about in the article, it's not science. Here: "Is the conscious min

Good point. Maybe not 51.95, but 51.9 mm you can say if you eyeball the measure to be quite close to the mm mark, but not exactly there. Repeat enough time and you can interpolate 51.9, which you wouldn't have been if you had thrown aw

Assuming we are talking about software, error between measurements is a direct function of the device you use to measure, which is itself close to perfect Even if we go to the example you give, the measurement should be done n times, each r

No, but the zillion little fixes sap a limited amount of energy I wouldn't be satisfied unless I compiled an optimized kernel with almost no module left, etc. This takes more time than I can allot

I am less likely to need a specific gene you sell (cf your list: cancer, inherited disease -uh thanks but no thanks) vs a few genes of interest that may not interest other people. You may want to adjust the price and the service accordingly

I'd certainly buy your services! How would it be in practice? I tell you which genes I want sequenced and pay, you send me the vial for a cheek swab, then a month later you mail me an encrypted file? If you had been on the market last

That's quite sad. The cats should at least have a pet sitter come play with them every day. They SHOULD NOT be left to live by themselves in a studio. That's cruel. When we travel, we hire one. Domesticated cats need a human prese

Yes, I do. In general, I stick to simple things. Enough samples and everything is normal, god bless the law of large numbers. If the precision of your estimation is not a direct function of the standard deviation, but is a "hidden prop

IDK but Slack new logo looks like a nazi flag to me. It's weird. I guess they either had money to waste, or a lawsuit coming up.

FB may not like it, but I just see that as the free market correcting the inadequate price of FB ads. The marginal cost of a FB ad is about 0. If the price charged differs too much from that, resourceful companies will move in to fix that s

Yes, there would be a IO load. Tradeoffs, as always. For some applications, I want low latency and high throughput. For others, I want security.

Given that Wifi chips already have their own ARM CPU, at this point I'd rather have that CPU which already runs its own OS to just present as a network device to do NAT. Connect it to the fixed network, use a serial link - anything wil

Don't take it personally, but I think it is just growing older and getting more busy with work, life etc. The returns on investment on the time you spend tickering with your laptop are lower - because you have other uses for your time,

Actually, you can. It's just a custom to do differently. But if you estimate your first moment is 2.1374 and your second moment is 1, I want to know just that, because it is the numbers I'll plug in my equations. I will decide to

You have a great point. It is highly likely that many topics are astroturfed on many websites, but I would think HN is too small and too specific of a target to be of any interest to pharmaceutical companies. However, if they use a subcontr

Actually it's something I noticed and was wondering about. However, it was too fast to be part of a coordinated campaign.

Bright idea: instead of letting kids vape (harm profile: uncertain, could be low), let's hook them to drugs like Varenicline (Champix) which are known to cause thing like cardiovascular diseases and suicide ideation. (Actually, it&#x27
