About a half-teaspoon or so of turmeric, and about a teaspoon of black pepper. A teaspoon of black pepper might be a bit aggressive, so adjust it to suit your taste, but my mom seems to think lots of pepper is necessary to reduce coughing&#

By taxing or putting extra burden on all but the students that absolutely can't afford to pay tuition or elevated taxes you're making an already sketchy financial proposition even sketchier. There were a few articles recently lame

It's too bad. This is a beautiful essay defending the humanities which are attacked by bean-counters from both sides of the aisle (and perhaps in the valley, too). I enjoyed the historical remarks on Tocqueville, and the Hilbert-like o

I overheard some colleagues talking about a recent interview where a candidate with "stellar industry experience", i.e. Kaggle wins and previous ML experience at a valley company, who couldn't explain Bayes rule to them, let

Very interesting paper, but the experimental section confuses me. They compare their system which preprocesses the graph into the tile-structure (a compressed representation), but none of the in-memory systems they compare against use a com

You can compute non-trivial statistics about the entire web-graph (roughly |V|=3B, |E|=100B)on a single high-end server these days. Speaking from personal experience, a machine with > 64 cores and 1TB of RAM can compute connectivity, MST

A short answer: It's a recent approach to incremental computation geared towards data-science/db people. Imagine you want to maintain the connected components of a graph where edges are being added and removed. It turns out you ca

This is something you can easily do using a script on your end. If you're using firefox, just write a small plugin that checks whether you're on HN and then excises HTML for links coming from any domains you don't care about.

Unfortunately he really only writes short stories. Some of his work is even shorter (like most of the work in Dreamtigers). I would give the stories there a try, as they don't take very long to read and will almost certainly stay with

CMU provides a good education that's very heavy on theory. I knew a lot of people in CS who didn't really think theory had much bearing on what they wanted to do after undergrad, and for the majority of them this will probably be

It really depends on what you want to do. If you see yourself getting into programming languages, and want to work at a place like fb/google or even a trading-house like JaneStreet, most of the interesting work will be parceled out to

No, it's pretty true if you've ever been through the average dev-shop in the valley. 95% of the eng work is the same problems you've seen a dozen times in the last year rehashed. The 5% of the interesting work is usually incr

I wonder why he deliberately chose to bat the hornet's nest with the "God does not exist" line. I always thought he was a very unassuming christian. That being said, he doesn't really push anything new here - we've

I'm incredibly curious about how they're planning on monetizing, considering that that recent stab at pushing micropayments was a major flop. Ads that aren't full-fledged 'snaps' (and don't feel spontaneous) se

You've already hashed all numbers on your end, so it's trivial to figure this out (hash the hash?). Hopefully I'm not thinking about this wrong, but it does seem feasible.
