I'm not sure your description of Beta is accurate. Correctly if I'm wrong, but Beta is a measure of volatility in correlation with the broader market, not a measure of volatility in of itself. There are plenty of stocks that have

Is this similar to RedHat's mock environment? The advantage is that you're not limiting yourself to a RedHat distro. But conceptually is it similar?

The very first comparison of assigning scores based on number of features doesn't add value. For example, Backbone is designed to be light-weight and this metric doesn't take that into account. It would be like complaining that git is infer

Those who are complaining that Ubuntu is diverging from most other Linux distros forget that this is the nature of open source software and competition. Part of the success of open source software is that it's highly evolutionary. Good succ

Me too! I started using a CPAP machine about 2 years ago. It felt as though I instantly gained 10 IQ points overnight. I could focus deeply for longer. I felt better. And I didn't need to nap anymore. All for a few hundred bucks.

The one thing that this post completely overlooks is that storing knowledge, even Googleable knowledge, can be very beneficial. Knowledge can help develop intuition, to know which pieces connect to each other. For example, in a programming

I don't know if there is any relation to this idea, but some diseases that babies catch are alleviated by cold air. For some infants with croup, cool air alleviates the symptoms.

I don't think they do. A sexist joke is about as professional to make in a conference as a racist or religious joke. Just don't do it. I agree that most humour will offend someone. Try watching a stand-up act that doesn't offend someone's r

I'm glad I'm not the only one who generally surfs the web at 150% magnification. I also have decent eye-sight and am 29, so I don't think it's an age related thing. Anecdotally, I find reading large text to be a lot more comfortable. I don'

I wonder how secure that basement is. Someone going down there with a chainsaw could do a lot of damage.

Everytime one of these rPI-like boards list "Use it as your NAS" I get disappointed to see that it only offers 10/100 Ethernet.

Can you tell me the reason you'd want to run a load balancer in front of a single instance? I read the feature spec for the elastic load balancer and can't it out.

That's really fun. I love the site design, very slick. Found a "bug". Some of the keyboard shortcuts conflict with my browser shortcuts. For example, in one of the emacs drills, to move down a line (ctrl + n) it causes chrome to open a new

It's really hard to know how competent you are in any field, if you are incompetent. There are known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns. The problem with really bad programmers, is that the unknown unknowns for them are really la

"I've never known anyone who used ..." Sounds extremely anecdotal to me. I can assure you that the CPAP for me does marvelous things. My brother uses it, and he is extremely fit and lean. I would not espouse such opinions without first fi

I had the reverse happen to me. Since my teens, I had been lethargic and constantly tired. I could sleep for 9 to 10 hours a day and still be exhausted. I'd nap if I could. Throughout the day, I'd just feel constantly tired, even in the mo

Sorry, I'm not following. Why couldn't you use a function here instead of a code block to do the exact same thing?

Can someone give me an example where using a code block is better than using a simple function? And is the added complexity and loss of readability worth it?
