When I did my BSc in CompSci (2000ish) there were around 10% women at enrollment, and down to 4% at graduation. It was kind of sad to me (male), and part of the reason I delayed joining the industry. It seemed like a cultural issue to me, l

> EVERESTING IS THE MOST DIFFICULT CLIMBING CHALLENGE IN THE WORLD. That's quite a claim. I'd say "everesting +1m" is a slightly more difficult climbing challenge. Or, you know, actually climbing Everest..

I dont think that's a correct assessment of HN. I would wager that if you polled the community you'd find a very high ratio of some of the earliest adopters here. Many of us are very analytical and looked closely at how bitcoin wo

But if you're not careful, the delta between the compressed version and the original could be bigger than the savings from the compression. In my armchair speculation for the case of severe lossy text compression, the delta/diff c

I've thought of doing this before, but ended up sticking with coffee because there seem to be health benefits associated with drinking coffee that are not related to the caffeine itself (because the benefits show up for decaf drinkers

Cool. That's readable if you know a bit of some romance languages. I'm guessing purely english speakers could make sense of it as well.

We're biological and we depend on having a functional biological ecosystem to breathe, drink, eat. If we "torch the environment", we saw off the branch we stand on. Food doesnt come from heaven.
