I found it fun to see division results returned as fractions. Has anyone here switched from Python to Clojure for data analysis? What has been their experience?

Perhaps 'early' and 'late' are not as important as the fact that there is a peak - people don't seem to be famous/productive in a sustained way. The 'early' and 'late' is probably continuous, you can peak anytime, but you tend not to hold i

Oh, BTW, I just had to share this guy's work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marshal-banana/ Especially his sand crawler. I really liked that http://www.flickr.com/photos/marshal-banana/sets/72157626809...

Ahh Tente! Brings back memories. I thought that Tente had more specialized pieces than Lego.

I have to say, this is what I come to HN for. I learned a lot from that link and doing wikipedia searches kept me entertained during lunch.

But how do we know the real trolls from the assholes? Emoticons help, but we can't see their FACE, so it's hard to tell.

I have found that good friends are hard to find. I feel that this hasn't changed much down the ages. Superficial friendship depends strongly on the culture and probably did so down the ages, too.

I wonder if you can achieve the same effect by changing the room decor. We know that in Rat and Mouse hippocampus this resets some of the machinery for encoding space. The walking through a doorway back to the orginal room is not as neat a

Some people on this thread have harped on cost (and used it as a way to insert their own agenda about the economics of healthcare) but from my reading of the article it is really about being free to make an informed and personal choice ab

I guess it was partly the guy's driver's license scan on his webpage. It reminded me somehow of a more innocent age, where people had great dreams of an open and "futuristic" future.

There was something about both the jwz and the chouck pages that brought back nostalgic feelings for me, to my first exposure to the internet and "big" computing at the computing center with the big AIX and O2 machines that ran Netscape wit

Well, going to http://www.gutenberg.org/ and finding books from there is enough for me! I got the Kindle 4 for my wife and now I want one. I think the Amazon store is a little nasty (there is no "confirm" screen during purchases) and so o

Small point that puzzled me: He said he got a reseller's license to buy stuff for himself from distributors, and he mentioned he bought "a" radar gun. I thought distributors only sold in bulk and the discount only came out because of the bu

But, these are not from the same person. We do probably take many, many more photos in digital (I know I do) but I don't know if the quantity for professionals has changed. They probably took lots and lots of shots and fliped through them t

The best design for a site depends heavily on who it is targeted at. It is simply not true that a bare minimum is best for all sites. The example site is an academic and very functional site, and will appeal to a person who goes to it looki
