Thank you for this informative comment (where do you learn more about the interesting stuff?). Isn't there a nice way to have it both ways, i.e. automate all changes in a script, and roll it after each image update? Assuming most thing

I don't even understand why this means to be said. Anybody who has ever tried to take a photo must have seen what a difference it makes with the direct impression. You see your black friend with your own eyes, but then in the picture

In Conway's book of numbers, there are many similar visual explanations for beautiful combinatorial formulas in terms of pebbles and polygons.

Overall it's a fun list, except for: 6. This is terrible for sex and sensual cuddling. You need skin contact. I'd say have a bathrobe ready close to the heat source so that you can sleep naked, but don't suffer from cold when

Oh, thanks for the references. I'm constantly astonished at how people can think "filter bad words" would fix everything. In some instances of Tay tweets, there are comparisons between black men and monkeys. What words shoul

It is true that in practice, you can't foresee everything that is going to happen in a practical experiment (you wouldn't do it anyway if it was the case). But it doesn't justify not enforcing clean research practice. If you

I agree, and this was poor wording on my part. I just wanted to point out that this side of piracy ensure that a large part of the population would not benefit much from it because it won't bring them any good (e.g. education, practica

I write snarky comments targeting opinions that express my thinking in a concise and funny (for me at least) way. Then you come and tell me to fix my attitude, directly judging my person. At no point did I judge you or used ad hominems. &gt

Yeah, the only purpose of that account is to make me laugh. However, this isn't just gratuitous. Here the issue is similar with the sci-hub one: there's a fairly legitimate motivation for piracy, so there's a lot of comments

Oh, this is so true. Get free access to Wikipedia, use it to download the latest popular movies. This is going to make them really clever.

The first obviously. As an analogy, imagine if we let people use knives freely. They might kill other people with them! Can you imagine if such things were not regulated by the government? Now imagine, words. They are, as the saying goes, e

Are you too lazy to roll your own Greasemonkey script if it's such a problem for you? Are you just on HN to lose time, or too learn how to hack things?

Even if you consider filtering all the "bad words" and "touchy subjects", there are many ways to still say offensive things. The caption "so swag" for a hitler photo or the "escaped from the zoo" for

Well, computers beat humans at Go, and now that: it's clear that they have outbrained humans. We have to bow before such AI.

I'm surprised async web framework as old as Warhol, Schiele or even Dali can keep up with the modernities and constant advances of JS and html5. Aren't they too old-fashioned? And how can Dali be more surreal than using a language

Exactly, it means the same thing, never.

Oh, wow, thank you very much. It's funny because I thought "you can't just copy and paste SO, there's a number of things to think of to be able to do it correctly". Guess I'm not the only one who thought that.

Where can you buy this book? I want it!

Haha, to anyone who would want to dispel the latest AI hype, tough luck! A pop-science journalist made some ill-informed prediction 20 years ago, so your arguments are invalid.

I don't know if you're in TCS or an applied branch, but my experience with TCS labs is that at most 10% of the lab (postgrads and teachers) are able to use some versioning system. Not a joke: courses supposed to teach programming

Random models are very hard to analyze, so people rely on using very basic models - a good example is random graphs, where there is still a lot of research on the very basic Erdos-Renyi model, even if basically everybody is aware of its sho

Looks cool. This is really a great work, it has probably been the pipe-dream of many programmers.

In mathematics, there are fairly few such 'meta-results', and each one is duly celebrated as impressive; the one that comes to mind is Curry-Howard correspondence... but in more 'traditional' maths, it's very hard t

Well, you mean the Zen of Python's "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." In any case, even then, people think in different ways: you can model a problem via category theory, geometry, algebra
