Where I'm from (idk about elsewhere) pasteurized and homogenized milk is labelled as such. It is not something companies try to hide from consumers and it is not something consumers try to avoid. That's how I think it should work.

I had never heard about gene drive before. It refers to making sure all children (and grandchildren etc) inherit a trait, even though the trait isn't necessarily evolutionary beneficial for the organism. The way this is implemented in

Looks nice! I'd add sugar for the common incantations (inc = alpha = 1)

C's rand() is typically poor as well. Thought it was par for the course for builtin rng to be somewhat shitty, but maybe other languages stack up better?

Well normally, hypothesis is wrong <-> null hypothesis is right.

>Censorship isn't about total, fool-proof access limits. It's about trivial inconveniences. That's because we have won a partial victory. They would very much like a total, fool-proof access limit.

Imagining the consumer reaction to green-glow-in-the-dark crops made me smile.

I associate neat with two expressions: "neat and tidy", and "that's (pretty) neat" (positive exclamation about a way of doing something, or a solution to a problem)

Fast hash functions can be really important for performance of hash sets and maps. In my experience high speed is more important than a low collision rate. That was for primitive types, it may well be different for types where comparison is

I think you misunderstand his point. He is saying that 1. if there is no free will then choices (and bad choices in particular) have to come from somewhere else. 2. that something is either unfortunate genetics or an unfortunate environment

Java has a nice solution: An ArrayList<Ellipse> is an ArrayList<? extends Shape>. But it is also an ArrayList<? super Circle>. The former is "read-only" (can read elements which are all guaranteed to be shapes).

I assume you are an xmonad dev? I use it and I really like it. Could I ask you to look into the focus/unfocus loop issue?

I guess you give the same amount of kickers to every employee. Wont the kickers then be too diluted to be worth anything? I haven't done the math, just a feeling.

First: Very nice site, good job! I think you should remove the bubble sort snippet. A newbie may use it verbatim without realizing there are better algorithms. It may be good to give an example of RAII that protects a resource other than me

Is it possible to declare something public domain, and license it as a "fallback"?

By drawing circles rapidly around the particles, you can herd them into a tiny blob. Move your mouse into the blob for a colourful explosion.

Nowadays you would compute the FFT's on a GPU. And it does really matter.

Sorry for focusing on a sidenote, but this connection of neoteny and Valley culture piqued my interest. Do you know if there has been anything good written on the subject?

I can see it serving to purposes. 1. It lets 3rd parties know you are suspicious. 2. You may get a revealing denial/non-denial. That said though I really dislike the atmosphere created by frequent shill accusations. It seems to rapidly

The article doesn't explain all tricks they use. A media query is used to apply the stylesheet selectively to small window sizes. That stylesheet splits the table into multiple ones. The original table's border is removed, and eve

On the other hand, the absence of such information means that games don't depend on it.

Since there is confusion in the sibling comments, I want to explain how y = - kln(x) + m fits in with the exponential function. I am going to be a little sloppy with closed and open intervals and round a little. x is the rank of the employe

I like the rule "no feigning surprise". "No well-actually's" and "No back-seat driving" to me seem designed to help the linear flow of IRL interaction. But in a threaded discussion forum like HN, the impor

Let's assume for the sake of simplicity that the debate concerns a non-subjective question, so it has a right answer, only it is unknown which it is. The best outcome for HN is if we as a community converge on the right answer. Now if

I am in a problem solving mood. Termination can be proved for finite graph with sink as: For every grain, compute its distance to the sink along the shortest route. For grains that entered the sink, use 0. Sort the values and put them in a
