From reading the documentation [0] I can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the feature set of a GIST index. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but what index provide near mathes (fuzzy, prefix) as well as exact term mat

You must all be very popular people since you have to have a strategy to get out of doing things with others. Most people have the opposite problem. You'll seem very unsincere after a while though, if your strategy is to not tell the t

A strong dev team will shine on any platform and in any language. A weak dev team, given the right tools, can at least be productive. Which is why business people who build business and need devs often settle on .net. Microsoft learned long

I don't think what we need right now is a world police, especially not an American one. But, since you mention a region on earth that you seem to think is in need of integrating with the rest, what would you think would happen to the r

"hurt and bored by alpha males" But we should give most alpha males a break, I think. They're as insecure as you are, probably. Most alpha males I know are quite fun to be around. You get to stand in line outside of clubs les

"Masculinity is defined by..." Masculinity is not always prefered, at least not as the stongest trait in a person. Shyness to me signals curiosity, a person with a healthy dose of undecisiveness, someone still learning. It's

> Shyness is a mental disorder and a severe disadvantage. No, and not always. E.g. from my experience, many intelligent and beautiful women prefer the shy type over the boastful sales person becuase it signals you are a thinker and that

I have a solution to the problem of having an ad network (Google) as the dictator of the internet. 1. Create a new browser where the concept of a URL is missing. 2a. Make terms, keywords, concepts first-class citizens. Ban URLs alltogether.

Yes and it was also a while ago since I studied. Your numbers seem correct. Extra health insurance is often provided to you by your employer though. With standard health care a broken leg is the same price as an ear infection. Extra insuran

Yes, in Sweden we have laws that protect the employer to a much higher degree and we also have a very static work force. You can easily go this route: learn something, get a job, don't steal or do anything criminal, keep that job until

I like pairing for those reasons as well. Also, I can keep my concentration up more easily when there is a requirement for me to do so, e.g. when I'm intercommunicating. It's when I talk to myself that I get distracted the most.

Nobody outside of NA are scared of loosing their jobs, is what you believe, because of how enslaved to the system Americans are? Households in Sweden take on heavy debt. If we loose our jobs here some of us fall back for a while on a (volun

Putting in 25-30 good, quality hours at work each week and then 30 more hours a week on my pet project, I would not classify an hour as good depending on if I produced code or not. A good hour too me is one where I could keep my concentrati

What all HN readers know and need is a good balance of humourous as well as serious content. Humor is not easy. We should cut humor-aspirers some slack and never vote while angry.

The idea of representing a large corpus in a compressed form and learning both concepts as well as semantics about that corpus is facinating to me. A tree like the one described in the article measures semantic distance, much like a charact

Thanks, The idea behind the BK-tree is ingenious. I'm struggling with finding a use case for that data structure through. Why would you construct a BK-tree that would only become powerful when it contains millions of words, which would
