I think people on this board especially understand that something as simple as an email account can directly affect our means of making a living and can have very serious consequences, therefore we understand that a blanket deactivation cou

He mentioned that llvm-py documentation was lacking... I was going through it, seems pretty darn good to me (relatively). http://mdevan.nfshost.com/llvm-py/userguide.html

Understood. There just seem to be a lot of complaints that the system he used for benchmarking didn't have epoll and that Tornado was slow because of select. I agree. But Erlang on that machine obviously didn't use epoll either.

Non-essential and somewhat intrusive. Fun toy scripts, though.

google erosion simulation algorithms (or derivations)- some brilliant stuff mostly developed for geography simulations that would make absolutely amazing terrains.

I've used these- really brilliant. Takes the pacing effect but makes it conversational so it really seems to flow. The trade-off, of course, is that it has no idea how well _you_ have memorized various things (i.e., being prerecorded audi

It only gets interesting after about 4:30 - before that it's simply building a crane using an existing mobile crane (that just keeps getting longer and longer).

I especially appreciate the proof- above and beyond the call of duty. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this was still slower in most real-world cases than timsort.

Since Taleb started thinking through this stuff he's been able to cash out on two big crashes- just in the last 10 years. The second (current) one came after the black swan was published. It's almost erie reading it now. In any case, he'

Highly, highly recommend this book to anyone who hasn't taken the time yet. Not all that revolutionary for anyone firmly grounded in the real ins and outs of probability, but surprisingly revolutionary for those who know just enough probab

In addition to other suggestions, I would suggest the pomodoro technique if you're in an environment where you deal with reactive/disruptive work mixed in with focused work. http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/ Depending also on the variance

Actually, the article being older than his account would virtually guarantee that he missed it. He was probably disingenuous when he said that it was a good post, though.

Still, your English is pretty good for a bot. (BTW- welcome! I always knew I'd see it here first).

It comes from old-school boxing. "Inclined to fight" was the original meaning. Bellicose is closer than belligerent. Certainly undignified, traditionally at least. In the last few decades it has been used for underdogs, as in "he's smal

Looking at the karma there, it seems your explanation is exactly adequate.

This was mentioned by someone here a few years ago, but I still think it would be cool to see the karma/posts ratio for people. Just for kicks, not for voting (: To be perfectly honest I never even notice the names on comments. OK, not tot

Not a biologist, but I've been in bio labs and it is _meticulous_ work. Very, very clever processes for detecting molecules as they pass through (or don't pass through) certain organelles, a good dose of math, some inference, and sometimes
