Monte Carlo simulations' goal is to randomise the inputs, not the process. In this hypothetical simulation of life, it is the process that seems deterministic, and not the inputs. For Monte Carlo simulations, we want to be sure that we

He's honest. If he had accumulated just 1k , then he would be annoyed that he hadn't taken on more. To him it's just free money.

In the end the size of the screw doesn't matter as long as it fits in the hole. Your M.2 isn't going to just pop out because the screw is half a millimeter smaller in radius!

What exactly do you mean by 'wrong energy?'

Looking at the code I am reminded of how grateful I am for high level languages and the absolutely insane number of libraries I can use to do perform so many complex yet fundamental tasks at ease without writing code for them.

You are confusing average with median. Normal is colloquially used as average.

That was much milder than expected, but not particularly surprising. I made this point recently in an unrelated thread; having taught academic skills classes at a research university and talking to many of my friends who didn't go to r

In reality the way that markets are cleared wasn't necessarily so much more different than a turn-based one, even in one where the clearing happens by the minute. The issue is, indeed, mostly with HFT. However, you shouldn't consi

You have to consider some form of multiplier effect that comes into play. Because the prices of assets are derivatives of others (incl. many, many other variables, of course) these millisecond savings end up turning into seconds, even minut

We know, empirically, that a lack of liquidity increases trading costs, which in turn is directly channeled to the prices of goods and services that rely on this liquidity (more or less everything in the world, even more indirectly ones lik

The markets on which financial instruments are traded are effectively separate from the ones where policy decisions are being made on, such as labour, vocational education, and healthcare. It's not the derivatives trading that is probl

I imagine this would add a lot overhead when the git admins are not well-versed in all subprojects of the monorepo.

Competitors should be embarrassed when it concerns security flaws. It's one of the best ways to generate media buzz and inform customers about the flaws, and also their consequences.

Practice silence if you are not creating valuable conversation. Pointing out intellectual fallacies ends such discourse, and doesn't accomplish anything but that.

Honestly it just reminds me of Rust's traits (granted I didn't read the entite spec.), could this come with operator overloading too?

A lot of things are very odd about the way the HN website works, including most of the underlying JavaScript ( see image object URLs for GET requests).

Oefh, this apparently doesn't page the messages, and instead loads all of them for the given domain at once at an interval—over and over again. Besides that, cool!

In the end, it's an arms race, and I don't think either side is giving up on it anytime soon. The only thing that concerns me is that one side has way too much money, while the other side has way too much time. Let's see who

Apparently it consists of a very large vacuole, surrounded by a thin layer of cytoplasm. Has multiple nuclei and chloroplasts spread around.

In all fairness, it's really due to universities not focusing at all on teaching research. Having studied (and taught) at a research university in the Netherlands, I can tell why my friends... well, didn't give a shit about thei

Arguably, the skills acquired while working towards becoming an astronaut are much more valuable than the ones you could as a YouTuber. Video and audio editing might come in handy, but you will likely not end up getting a job.

Has there been any attempts to 'translate' this into other languages? I'm struggling most often with vocabulary first, whereas the grammar is much easier for me to grasp (programming helps?)

Pretty damn cool, but I can't see this giving you much in way of anonymity. Yet, should be all fine for getting through to region-locked DRM content.
