Few would consider money "disposable" if you had to make sacrifices for it. @zaroth probably has NYC/SF in mind, where most $120k+ salaries probably are. Pay $40k tax (fed+state+local), at least $30k for rent+utilities, and y

Ironically, growing up in the Third World when software legality wasn't even a thing yet and game stores only sold cracked copies on Maxell floppies with handwritten labels, Monkey Island was the first -and for a long time, the only- g

It drew quite a bit of ire when, after a wildly overfunded Kickstarter campaign in 2012, they missed their deadline by a year, only to deliver a short "Act 1" instead of a full game. After yet another year, the rest of the game st

Now there's the true casualty of the barbox. 3-cushion is practically extinct here in the US. You can still play straight pool if you want to, but good luck finding a pocketless table anywhere, outside of a Korean or Columbian neighbor

It took me longer to realize that my browser tab wasn't frozen. The linked pages are designed show no sign of scrolling down until you swipe three wheels/trackpads worth. UX genius right there.

Complete opposite of my experience. As a weight-class athlete I alternate between high-carb in the off-season and limiting carbs to peri-workout hours in the afternoon during periods of dieting down. I only wake up hungry during the high-ca

Title should be " Logistic regression without negative examples." Confusingly named as it is, logistic regression is a classification method, not regression. Regression does not have positive or negative examples by definition.

You were lucky. I also almost failed school, 7th grade when they introduced a mandatory handwriting class. As a remedial project, I had to spend that summer copying down encyclopedia pages in cursive, instead of working on my programming pr

Completely different physics, because buoyancy cancels out gravity. The weight belt is distributed around your center of mass because it has different buoyancy (higher density) than you, but subject to the same gravity, and you don't w

In a lot of GA applications the effects of mutation are negligible. Given a large and diverse population, crossover provides enough variation already. Mutation will only be necessary to escape if the entire population has converged to a poo

Doubtless there are roles within the financial industry deserving of the "vampire squid" label in social impact, but I'd expect them to be fairly obviously unethical if not outright illegal on inspection (deceptive sales of r

This is not a problem with vector computations, but the particular implementation. The vector expression in your example is by far the most readable. It is literally the math you had in mind. De-vectorization in code is like embedding ASM c

I sleep like that, with earplugs and a white noise generator. The frequencies that make it past the earplugs are the ones you want anyway for blocking other sounds that make it past, so it's not that counterintuitive. The only sounds t

I'm going to venture a wild guess that if you forget to charge, it will stop working, as it's probably not magical. A low battery alarm would be about the most idiotic feature imaginable for a sleep aid, so hopefully they won&#x27

It's not necessarily easy employment prospects though. Recruiters are playing a numbers game, too. For a given job opening, it's in their best financial interest to pitch as many potential candidates as possible, in case one stick

Great book, though I recommend the SML version over C or Java for a clearer illustration of the concepts in code. Viewed side by side, the SML code looks concise and obvious vs. the long and wordy C/Java code. It just seems to lend its

One thought pattern that's helped me with that kind of dread-feedback is to say "No problem, I can just lie here awake all night. At least I'll rest my body, and I can handle an occasional day without sleep." I do often
