Well, the problem is that a lot of times there is no research into them and by the time there is research, the useful properties are extracted so that a better modern solution is available. Basically, the only way to prove that it works is

I would like to point out that chiropractic medicine is not necessarily quackery. There are certainly some elements that may not always work, but there are also many things that do. The classes in the schools are certainly not a joke - they

I used vimperator and experienced crazy slowdown on Firefox in both OSX and Ubuntu. This happens after you browse for a while. Wasn't sure why initially. Things improved dramatically after reinstalling the addon. But I had to do it fre

I've used the vimium for chrome, vimfx for firefox and they both have similar problems: 1) Impossible to navigate some sites 2) Slows down the browser to a crawl over time Generally, not a usable long-term solution

How is HCl related to KMnO4? And why would one combine them? Why not just add a hypochlorite to water if the end goal is to disinfect with chlorine?

Why not just use an off-the-shelf rootkit with off-the-shelf obfuscator + whatever exploits they discovered? None of the code has to be extremely valuable. If I were CIA in the current political climate, I would simply slightly modify a Rus

The point is that the subway is slow and unreliable unless you are commuting within Manhattan for 4 stops. Lots of people work in Manhattan and commute from Brooklyn. It's a 1.5 hr train ride to Columbus Circle + 0-60 minute random slo

NYC transportation sucks even within areas where the population is very dense. It takes 2 hours to get from Bronx to Coney Island on subway. Plus there are almost daily service disruptions of all kinds. San Francisco's Bart is hated b

Bicycling in the winter is fine. I've ridden across a frozen lake on my commute to school on a mountain bicycle for two winters every weekday. Motorcycling in the winter on a street motorcycle with summer tires, on the other hand, is e

Yup, I have the same. But the spec sheet says 64gb https://ark.intel.com/products/82932/Intel-Core-i7-5820K-Pro... Which is what confuses people. I am actually not sure what that max memory refers to. Possibly max

I work on NLP projects and have similar issue with memory. The reason I don't use cloud computing is that you constantly have to worry about moving data around, turning stuff on and off, API changes, data movement costs, product lineup

Always baffling to me. HN front page is not that much traffic. Maybe 1 req/s on avg for a few hrs with bursts up to 3 req/s.

Modern GNU/linux filemanagers support connecting to ssh server and browse and open and edit files just like they are local. You can do it in two seconds. In ubuntu it's file -> connect to server -> type in ssh://us

It depends on the service, but I think the vast majority of free products are over engineered in terms of using cloud services. It costs something like $60 a month in maintenance fees for 1 VPS. Double that and you are safe from hardware ou

Didn't realize the sentence was reduced by so much. Apparently only a few months are left in the sentence.

So let's pretend the sentence was reduced by a week instead. Would that still be the same thing?

If you have a keylogger malware, you only reveal the passwords you type in until you get rid of the malware. Also, you will likely notice something being off if you have malware before you type in every single one of your passwords. PW ma

Sure, but why does it stop? It doesn't seem to be a specific population density, but culture + economics. Like for example, look at this Haiti plot: https://knoema.com/atlas/Haiti/Population-density It is al

How can it possibly be illegal? I can understand if it's a public newspaper, but private media companies can do whatever they want. Like are you going to fine a movie studio for having an actor in a movie drinking Coca-Cola or driving

Worst case is if this leads to "sponsored stories" where an article is about one thing and they sneak an infomercial in there for ad revenue but in a very subtle way such that it doesn't name a product even. Effectively, this

sys.getsizeof() on a code object returns the size of the code struct, not all the other objects it references. To measure real usage, you have to use another method. I use ipython_memory_usage because it's easy to use. You can test thi

It is an order of magnitude slower and not less memory efficient. Also, for me it is never easier to understand what is going on when named tuples are used instead of dicts Proof: def make_dicts(): res = [] for i in r
