Is it? How much faster are CPU cores going to get? Also, Apple has many billions of dollars to throw at this.

I use Python for science data analysis. Anaconda has nearly all of what I need, batteries included. Even though I am able to do so, I don’t care to bother with managing my own virtualenvs and ensuring all the right stuff builds and installs

Not much precipitation in Phoenix, and the roads tend to be dry.

Those new to the site in the past couple years may not have seen it before.

I'm a doctor. During medical school and residency, I was taught in good faith that "only as much as necessary" opioid was OK to give and wouldn't create dependence - it was only an "excess" of opioid that would

The danger with Pandas’ bizarre API is that it isn’t obvious when you are doing something stupid, because the right way to say things also looks weird and unpythonic. On the other hand, I’ve gotten tremendous value from it, and I can’t aggr

Why are these machines so expensive? Is there some legacy software that cannot be ported?

Sadly, they don’t have to. There are too many PhDs, and universities prefer to hire administrators.

Many years ago I took a class taught by Victor Shoup, which I found extremely difficult but overall a great experience. Really smart guy.

Rowhouses are common in Philadelphia, and are constantly being newly built.

People tend to like others similar to themselves. In this case, the upper-class people responsible for hiring presumably saw themselves in the upper-class resumes, and felt they had a better sense of who they would hire. It's like golf

The AirTrain is only eight miles long, cost $1.9 billion to build, and is relevant only to those going to or from JFK. Public transport, especially the AirTrain, is great but I think such advocacy would be well served by discussing the cost

Averaged across the entire year, or only during the school year?

That would be ideal. At the moment (and hopefully not for much longer) gas engines meet my needs better, so the solar panels would be an interim solution.

by idiot900 7y ago
I'd want solar panels on my car for the sole purpose of running a ventilation fan while parked under the hot sun, so I don't come back to a scorching hot car. More appealingly, it might also prevent the death of pet or child (stil

Yes. They have extracted concessions and aid from the western world for decades, and have essentially never kept any of their promises. They are excellent at the game.

This includes benefits, retirement, etc. According to levels.fyi, not far off from other Bay Area tech companies.

This smells like a crackpot. The first author’s affiliation is his own “research institute”: https://m.george-eby-research.com/ and they claim a simple, somehow overlooked solution to a difficult problem, citing flimsy and

Are glue traps more or less humane than what happens to these creatures in the wild?

Yes, absolutely. Let me pay them exactly the revenue they lose from my use of an ad blocker, in exchange for no ads.

From the article: "Computer controls slightly delay the images from the front camera and stitch them together with side-mirror views to create a seamless real-time feed." Seems like it just does an affine transformation on the ima

One of the successors is a Korean company which sells the chalk under the Hagoromo brand.

They're riding on the brand equity they built up in the past, and on the halo effect of their high-end cars. But there is a well established precedent of luxury goods makers enjoying a large price premium for products of minimally high

The article certainly doesn't make it look that way. She joined in 2004 and left in 2006. Way too short even for a five year tenure clock, especially when she very much needed the health insurance.

by idiot900 8y ago
Agreed. Her story is tragic but it's hard to feel sorry for someone who threw away a tenure track position, didn't want to leave NYC, didn't want to leave academia for the sake of her health. All of her self-imposed requireme

My experience in college radio (a while back) suggests that most professional musical artists, indie or otherwise, are just not that good. I don't lament the democratization of music like this guy does. If nobody wants to listen to him

And, hilariously, iOS Chrome, because it uses the same renderer as Safari.

$93k does not give a very comfortable lifestyle in SF/NYC.
