I'm personally not that bothered by the difference in tenses, but I can see how it requires a slight mental-context-switch between reading various commits. Some peoples' eyes are more attuned to syntax and grammatical inconsistencies--for

I'm unfamiliar with Google's indexing algorithm, but it's also possible that the rank of the top pages has shuffled between when Linus googled it and now.

If that's the case, that's not really a problem. You get high ad exposure at the time of each episode's release, as many people will want to keep up with the show within the first few years of its airing. You're paying for their eyes. Any

I find this very believable and would like to add that some people learn best by reading about a subject, some by performing exercises, some by listening and conversing and for some it's a mix of all of those. I wouldn't expect the typical

Sadly, because of what a degree means. This goes doubly so for a degree from a "big name". I strongly disagree with this sentiment, but I can't deny that a majority of people I meet will be impressed with someone who went to MIT, Yale or H

> 1) Make all information freely accessible to anyone. This is the one we'd all like everyone to do. However, there's very little (economic) incentive to innovate when you do all of the heavy thinking and anyone else can just come along

Didn't the author of the article shoot himself in the foot with this statement: > These assessments carry a probability measure, such as 95%, 99%, or—as traditionally required in particle physics for a “definitive” conclusion about the

I've played many other versions of Tetris that use up as rotate, but besides that, you read my mind. I went back and tried a second time. This is multiplayer because everyone connected to the site plays on the same map (I think? I saw one

I've found a screwdriver to be one of my go-to tools for car work. Oftentimes I need to remove a rubber gasket that's been in the car for years. It's usually completely hardened from heat and baked onto a metal surface. A screwdriver is

I figured that was just a special case they didn't explain directly. The equation follows their description if you treat the 0-comment days as a 0 for the term in the parenthesis: people who post infrequently will see a shrinking karma.

I have to disagree...somewhat. Since Reddit is open source, I could create a copy right now that would have no content on it. Lets say I populated it with all of the old, highly rated posts. This would be valuable as a source of high qual

I believe there is under "A Better Metric" dx is the number of days the user is registered. If the user made one post and then stopped, his karma score would shrink over time as dx approaches infinity while the numerator remains constant.

Ah, thank you for clarifying on that. I was wondering how he came up with the figure that 90% of his income would be taxed. I wonder how much the average lower and middle class person would be taxed according to this accounting scheme.

Tracking panels may prove to be a better design for maximum power output. However, there are other constraints to engineer for. Cost and durability (through simplicity of parts) come out ahead in a design with no moving parts. At the end o

Yeah, the graphs are misleading because of the varying Y scale. I do like the conclusions section, though. It presented some insightful analysis of dyno/worker efficiency >It could be that I’m benchmarking from only 1 server but I’ve s

This seemed implicit in the article to me, but the way they use chat seems to be the way IRC chat is used for devs (though I haven't used IRC that much). If my understanding's accurate, then I'd agree with you: ignore someone's status, ask

That's a really good point. I think it's quite possible this could be leveraged to corner a niche market, though. Think of people who use Unix--they can do tons with it, but there's a ton of commands to memorize compared with what's necess

1) It is actually better having to compete with better programmers. At the end of the day, you're challenged more and sure, you may be further from the top than you would be if you were born 30 years ago. At the same time, you can accom

I often feel this way as well. I tell myself that I'll learn faster if I can get over this feeling, or learn an effective way to cope with it. Looking back at difficult things I've learned helps. That is, knowing I felt this way about som

With this program, I could see people using the predictions to tell them where not to commit a crime. Want to steal a car? Look for discrete areas that aren't flagged by this program. I'm sure this system is under heavy lockdown, though,

I'd also like to see this guy axed, but I can see why they'd want to keep him. Perhaps he holds enough specific technical knowledge that they have to keep him. What I'm unclear on is why Bernardo can't be invited back. Was his account d

Somewhat off topic: This page has a beautiful javascript effect if you scroll. The index follows the page smoothly and highlights the displayed section. Does anyone know if this is a public library/function?
