My college roommate for a few years was also Vietnamese, born in a refugee camp. He went on to a top medical school and today is a specialist doctor. I often think about how I slacked my way through college, and how hard my friend worked.

I (and likely many others on this site) am tired of people complaining about weird-scrolling sites, but this one is exceptional: I can't get it to actually display the content! At some point scrolling gets somehow stuck and I can&#x27

If you're on Linux and jealous: a similar (but different in a lot of ways too) tool for doing an analysis like this is called "powertop".

As best I can tell, you don't have a "git clone" URL visible anywhere on the site. I have the vague impression that gitweb is capable of showing one but you have to configure it(?).

The Closure example failed to pass the compiler flags to minify the code, so the numbers are wrong. At a first glance, the Closure output is about half the size of the numbers published there. https://github.com/samccone&#x

If you run into limitations with the Cairo binding you're using, I'd like to shamelessly plug the one I wrote, which covers much more of the Cairo API: https://godoc.org/github.com/martine/gocairo/ca

It bums me out that HN readers just read and respond to the headline without analyzing the actual content. My immediate reaction to medical headlines is always to wonder "why should I believe this"? In this particular case the pa

I'm not sure -- I'm going off what the Clang bug says. They have a spec ref in there. (Note that you can't trust your intuition on how compilers work, you can only trust the spec and experiments.) If it helps any here is th

It's surely too late for your project, but: I was a committed Debian user for ~10 years (I even have the shirt from staffing a booth at a conference!), tried out Arch Linux, and have been delighted and am even a cautious evangelist for

The way I try to understand it is that the US is about the same size as the EU, has the same magnitude of population, and generally has less interest in equality of its citizens than EU countries. So there are parts of the US comparable to

Thanks (as always) for your informed comments! I agree that you can make pattern matching work without expressions. My intuition is rather that it's not especially useful, because you need some way to make use of the result of the mat

This sort of gratuitous takedown is unfortunately crack for HN -- pages and pages of "here's how this popular thing is not like this other thing I like", without any thought given to why things are they way they are. Go is m

It's curious that linking speed can be improved by so much when gold was itself written for speed only 7 years ago. I wonder, what's the trick?

Note that large stacks only use address space, not memory, so it's not such a problem (especially on 64-bit). I've never used libmill but from a glance at the docs it appears they suggest using multiple processes for parallelism,

I remember being impressed by someone using windbg to map an address back to the pointers. I was never useful with windbg but looking now it looks like it has a builtin to scan memory for values; I'm not sure how you'd go back fr

The null hypothesis is the hypothesis that your control and experimental groups behave roughly the same* . This is the baseline assumption when group membership is randomly assigned. It is not at all arbitrary. * see my below comment for

by evmar 11y ago
Yes. Isn't that fundamental to experimental design, that group membership is random? (You certainly know this as well, so I'm again confused about what your question is intended to provoke.)

From your comment history you appear to have some background in statistics, but what you're written here is curiously missing the fundamentals. It's not exactly clear what you're arguing, but I am definitely curious because

Thank you for thinking critically about my comment! As I mentioned I am an amateur at stats and I now think I modeled the problem wrong. Let's hypothetically suppose that we knew that 75% of the studies were replicable. Can we make a
