I used to feel the same. For a long time I got away with using C and python for everything. They paired well and I always came away feeling that my code was expressed elegantly enough for me. C was for stuff that had to be fast, python f

And by the way, that whole "never rewerite software from scratch"... that might be what they teach you in your startup accelerator or your CS classes, but in the real world, hardware changes fast, your clients change fast, and you

Exactly! I laugh at this petition because nobody is maintaining X.org server right now or even wants to touch it. Last major release was iin 2018. It is a nightmarish cludge. Nobody is forcing anyone to upgrade their software but the rest o

I have nvidia and use wayland. It works just fine. I think you are referring to a nested caveat of this which is that the subset of applications still coded soleley against the X protocol will run without gpu acceleration under nvidia and

wow thank you, i don't know how i never knew the term for this. it's gotten frustrating explaining so often, as it happens too often. as my old econometrics professor would say, "knowing a little bit about statistics is a ver

Don't even have to read the paper to know exactly what transpired here with high confidence. The author(s) set up an experiment without a hypothesis, threw in 100 candidate variables such as 'were they exposed to blue light'

and it only gets worse as possibilities become less evenly distributed! we are approaching 100% probability this is all bullshit and won't work at all.

I just did the math and at 12000 people and 16777216 possibilities, 98.63% chance there's at least 1 match. Not buyin' it!

the MBTI example and use of weighting only makes it more clear that this "case study" is dead from the start, because it shows it takes many questions just to ascertain someone's position on each eigenvector. For example, th

Even distribution is just important for doing it in as few questions as possible. If you want to do it in 8, and cover 16M distinct personalities, you're gonna need them to be very evenly distributed. Check out http://en.wi

"Take the 8^8 test and the likelihood of someone else answering in the exact same pattern as yourself is 1 in 16,777,216" That requires A) the distribution of answers is even across all 8 options, and B) there are zero correlation

Daringfireball was lovable when Apple was the underdog, but now it's just annoying. If you want to use the old daring fireball as inspiration, you should find a more interesting subject that you're in love with that nobody else is. Then onc

I never heard of a database that doesn't reside in memory if you have enough ram. Most of the time, it's the OS making this happen by maintaining a cache for disk reads, and flushing writes to disk asynchronously. Does MemSQL just have mor
