Actually? Yeah. Though "kinda". I don't have a large enough sample size to determine how much is luck and how much isn't. And I'm too cheap about purchasing data. If I could give one condensed tip after a few

TIL: DCC still exists! (I have fond memories of using mIRC, at my summer job at the local ISP, blatantly abusing our control of the bandwidth to download a gargantuan file, a copy of a movie that just came out called "The Matrix"

Buy SPY, put it in your IRA. Maybe a SPY/TLT mix. For bonus income, sell monthly covered calls against SPY as well.

Great project! Even more so, congrats on shipping something! A little tip from someone who dabbles in algorithmic trading, look into cointegration as well as correlation. Also, the cross correlation matrix changes over time, you can hav

It seems every few years I read about another KVS (half of the time from academia) purporting to have desirable properties previously not found. As someone who's never had to work with distributed data structures, I'd love to see

You want X11 in the browser? Mind if I ask why, what you would use it for, etc? (I ask because, as a side project I've been working on something that lets me have a more responsive laptop by offloading resource intensive graphical pro

I'm surprised that anyone is surprised by this. A bit more than a decade ago, in a meeting at Lab126 where we were discussing a then secret future product with voice recognition -- in particular "keyword spotting", so that it

Interesting! I love stuff like this (compatibility layers like wine, darwin). I think a better title might include mentioning what Haiku is , though 15 seconds of googling worked just as well. :)

> the physical one is also important right? Some (me) would argue that w/o physical security, logical security is meaningless. Physical access == compromise.

(like I said..) I'm impressed with the prowess of the MATERIALS SCIENCE in companies like 3M and DuPont, certainly not the business ethics. Please don't conflate admiration for the fascinating engineering work with endorsement of

The prowess of materials science in companies like 3M and Dupont never ceases to amaze me. Just when I think I've seen it all with fiberglass tape and kapton tape...

Most of the things I'm interested in are signal processing oriented. Things where it's very easy to structure the solution to the problem as dataflow/boxes and arrows. Essentially, "things that lend themselves well to

It's really good . I don't have any links or docs but I've used it quite a bit. With a recent of MATLAB, the codegen is good enough that my workflow has become "prototype in MATLAB" -> codegen -> profile the

I miss questions like this. Things that are closer to actually measuring "so, can you code?" and not if you can do CS puzzles, or how well you can shoehorn corporate "values" into answers. I "passed the shit out of

Whoa really? I'm sorry, and retract my ignorant assumption! Going to try it out now.

Ah, well, if you're willing to accept having a frankensystem with a mix of packaged and unpackaged software, sure. ;) I used to do that, back in Slackware days. It's considered really sloppy and unmaintainable to admin a system

How did you do it? When I tried to rebuild cargo I got build errors. I'm starting to suspect the only way to run this tool is make a chroot tracking sid or something....

I think it's wonderful that there's an explosion of new exciting languages, it can only improve the quality of all our tools. I for one am looking forward to replacing my eons of MATLAB experience with Julia. But I wish there was

Sure, but first I had to figure out wtf "cargo" is. :P Also, `cargo install difftastic` AIUI pulls it from a central location, if I'm gonna poke at software for the first time, I enjoy building it myself first, so I can get m

I agree with all your points. Only diff is I got to the point where it said I needed "cargo", On a whim, I typed "aptitude install cargo", and it did something. Now waiting for the >1GB source repo to clone to see i

This looks really cool and I can't wait to try it, tho... a bit of a PITA to get running. ;) Took a while to figure out how to build, and had to install 400MB of dependencies first.... Edit: And after installing cargo, watching it fa

Heck yeah! Thanks for this! On a whim, I've been doodling ideas for a POSIX(ish)-shell compiled language. Seeing other people interested in such (probably useless, but fun) ideas encourages me. Thanks OP! (I kinda wish that, of the
