But Netflix has way more information than you do about the movie before you've seen it, namely you get a 30 second trailer, and it gets how many million people liked it. That doesn't show it is better than you, just that it has a

I have been meaning to try datomic for a while but love every minute of my current job doing Clojure. My company has been converting everything to it at every reasonable time, from web servers to massive ETL jobs to our Clojurescript React

The tooling is there, it's not bad, and it is constantly getting better. I use Cursive in IntelliJ to do all my Clojure programming. A lot of others also use Emacs but Cursive is an amazing plugin imho. It does the vast majority of thi

Wouldn't a clause being added that required some form of obvious progress that your company plans to directly use the IP they are holding or lose it to the public be sufficient to prevent companies like MPEG LA from just using it to su

Perhaps not shooting people at all would be a better start. Can't find the link but I've seen some videos applauding police doing de-escalation work that worked well, think it was in Europe.

You realize we're not in a massive extinction event now right? You're comparing things like giant meteors killing all the dinosaurs to right now? If you can see the sun, we shouldn't have all these animals dying.

I have no idea if Bitcoin is going to succeed or fail, but if anyone thinks the second guy in the video has no idea what the block chain is because he mumbled "block-coin", you have been fooled. Who the hell is that "reporter

Pretty remarkable this has been sitting in production on millions of devices and nobody noticed until someone tried to formally verify it. Nobody at Google notice the stacktraces in TimSort code? Almost every mobile app I've written in

"Have I gotten smarter? Or is it just that British people are stupider than the Chinese?" Wow, false dichotomy and either racism or ego, take your pick. Hard to keep reading after that.

For anyone interested in a simple implementation of FFT, I found this neat little example which was very grokkable if you speak Java: https://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/java/97data/FFT.java.html

I know someone who gets 800Mb/s with Sonic fiber now for less $$ than Comcast. So happy for them to be off Comcast too. Can't wait for Sonic to cover me and I think they were only a few blocks away last I checked.

I like your sentiment but then I realized of course it is. There is nothing more real than what is real. If suddenly we were dropped in a more random universe with less probabilistic rules, then what we have now wouldn't be good. Short

I think the trolls will obviously come out to attack this but it seems like a nice extra data point from sites. They aren't obligated to show the data, they could just whitelist sites that they believe are 100% not trolls and then cons

I've heard training using some tools is easier than others. This might allow you to experiment on one tool and then easily port your commonly formatted model to a more production like system, for performance or whatever other reasons.

TFA mentions 18F and USDS as initiatives to get more tech savvy people into gov roles. I also wanted to point out Code for America which does things in very much the same vein: get talented engineers and product folks into government funded

I think the problem is that most people don't get offered the same in cheaper areas, that money gets absorbed by the company. Even if you argue that the actual take-home is cheaper, people aren't as good at evaluating those things

Cobalt seems to be the biggest constraint in supply. I read somewhere we have enough lithium for a hundred years including increases in battery consumption.

I hardly think getting blacklisted by FB would lose you opportunities outside of FB. Sure, you probably can't get a job at Instagram because they probably share the recruiting database. Beyond that, there are a million startups, and to

I got the chance to talk to Gosling at a discussion about adding closures to Java a while back. You could tell immediately that he was an amazing and incredibly friendly guy. I have a ton of respect for him. That being said, this is a reall

Nuance is always good but I think GP's comment is still very true despite who wrote the software: increasingly the world's governments are eagerly eroding anonymous speech in the name of security.

Only the portion that changes will be rerendered because of the way Clojure shares nested data structures when there are changes.

Also, using Brave browser on Android, I get a stack of Zeroes on your landing page for "Tasks Completed"... Pretty sure that's a bug or a fail as a selling point. Glad you got a project going and generating revenue!

I'll probably get lambasted with all the pedants coming out, but I chuckled when someone pointed out that most majors in college with the word science in them aren't really science i.e. Political Science, Computer Science, Sports

Furthermore, they say humans are biased towards physical appearance and slowly turn towards other factors over time, the latter being something you'd not see much of in 4 minutes of course.

We actually switched to Wilson score. Doing it later has some weird effects, when you've already have a lot of people typically voting on the first definition, and then suddenly the order gets switched because something has a higher ra

Amazing and super sad that a government contract could ever be submitted for such an embarrassingly high amount. I hope more people buying gov software contracts read this.
