it's not. IMO It's a good replacement for ProtoBuf.

it's about as fast as protobuf using .net. It is not human readible.

I used MessagePack in a real-time streaming app. It was smaller than Protobuf (and about as fast in .net). In fact, if you are a .net dev and use the popular SignalR it can use MessagePack for real-time browser binary messaging. I highly re

It might be a big deal, but the author wants to convince us that it's bigger than other forms of therapy. I take it as a possibility, but it has a low degree of certainty until I see more evidence.

If the argument is based on a few anecdotes with no comparative data (like to other mental health services or other forms of psychotherapy) it doesn't hold much weight. I could say that startups have a sexual abuse problem. Therapy has

These are fun brain candy and a reminder of the value of lateral thinking, but I hope no one actually uses these as employment screening.

The password is probably encrypted using a two-way hash. It's not as secure as a one-way has, but you can't see passwords by running a SQL query.

in the US it's still schedule 1 https://www.vox.com/2014/9/25/6842187/drug-schedule-list-mar... So it's difficult to get even for legit research. The most reliable way for HN readers (in the U

Why would the encoded frame be better vs the decided? Deblocking? Other filters? I would think temporal filtering might help? Not an expert here.

Sure, but that implies that surgeons control the operating room schedules. I am not sure that's true (it might be), but it's a contested resource in most hospitals.

I am willing to accept bias, but Why would Monday surgeries be statistically different from Wednesday? Clearly weekend surgeries might be different, but the effect is still present Monday-Thursday. I don't work in healthcare so there m

Most (maybe all) good comedy comes from a dark place. Comedians can have profound demons driving them. Mel Brooks is no exception, I think in their attempt to make us laugh is to try and escape their personal hell. I know this may seem a dr

I think the parent is saying that VCs take advantage of this delusion and try and profit from it. VCs are able amortize their risk over many companies. If 5% hit big VC's are making money.

okay one more time... I am not trying to convince you to try or not. I am pointing out humans systemically discount of luck as a factor in achieving success. I suggest this might benefit groups more then individuals. And this group effect

I really have no axe to grind, I think you are misreading my intent. Just an observation of one particular lie/distortion that humans subscribe to. It's a useful for humanity, but not necessarily for the individual. It could even

This post is related to the delusional discount that we all apply to luck. Luck is the by far the single most important factor in success, but observing that reality is counter productive. It keeps us working like mad and blaming ourselves

“chronic Lyme” is probably something, just probably not literally 'chronic Lyme'. The problem is, if you think you know the cause you'll stop looking for the actual cause.

I think the controversy is mostly around 'chronic' Lyme. It's not clear there is such a thing. It's profile (being mostly female for example) suggests it's not Lyme but some other condition that is undiagnosed. Havi

Women still have absolute standards so, no matter how much the desperate ugly guy pays, his odds of success are still low, so the optimal strategy would still be to date around your level, right? Also, maybe the messaging cost goes down for

I agree... I've had some bad batteries via 3rd parties. That's why I posted the link as I've been using it for six months with no issue and about 85% capacity of the original (at a fraction of the OEM price)
