This is probably happening already. The feed itself is no longer sorted by date (you get some highlights that you can dismiss but hey, here they are again), and then even content liked (not retweeted) by people you follow shows up. This m

I don't think medical data, other than information that is actually directly printed on a card, is obtained or sold.

Yes, I've seen them used as synonyms, even when, in my opinion, they are not. For the record, what I (and others, and I assume the parent too) understand as concurrency is many threads in a single core (interleaved/evicted, schedu

It seems this is not fixed in 1.0.42, released today. I'm running 1.0.42.151.g19de0aa6 on Ubuntu and I'm seeing 351 MB written to disk in under 15 minutes without listening to any music at all.

The process of juicing already leaves some waste out and you are probably also removing the pulp from the juice itself. OP was talking about the differences between eating a certain food and eating that same thing after liquifying it as a w

Hey! I documented (and extended for removals) this somewhat obscure method of efficiently calculating mean and variance of a discrete distribution online and I figured it could be interesting or useful for some. Has anyone seen other online

Assuming they are continuously writing English text is quite the assumption.

To deploy this in a real world scenario seems implausible to me. You would need specific models for every person, laptop and router combination, as the physiology of the hands, the gestures when typing, and the location and power of the lap

And, depending on where you live, most probably at a loss. Here in Spain electricity is so expensive that this is probably a very bad idea.

Pattern 5 is all about removing semantic value from null references, but has nothing to do with if statements... In fact, the if-else remains (albeit hidden because of an early return inside an if, which is even worse in my opinion).

"fueras/fueses" would be the right verb form, but that would be equivalent to "How to vote for Trump if you WERE Mexican" as opposed to "How to vote for Trump if you ARE Mexican".

Walk around a crowded square with a backpack. Now wonder, what if you had a bomb in there and were ready to blow yourself up? There you go. Killing 50+ people is absurdly easy. Hello, blacklists.

I had to look up what that acronym means ("cover your ass", for anyone interested). WTPOUAWYCJWOTFS? That's "what's the point of using acronyms when you can just write out the full sentence?"

Only small shops do this, and it's more of a 1-to-4 thing. I guess they could... I don't know, have lunch, spend time with their family, do some chores? Besides, you can't expect a small store with one or two employees (e.g.

The latency comparison seems a bit crappy to me. Comparing the lowest points in two series of data is very error prone.

A measurement doesn't have to be direct to be a measurement. In other words, the aspect ratio of a desk is still obtained by measurement and thus is a measured quantity, subject to error and so on. Of course, both the quantity and the
