What is the user supposed to learn from the visualization? Is it high level understanding what the text is about? Is it some support to make the text easier to read and understand (like syntax highlighting is for programmers)? Is it somethi

I think practicing programming should be about: 1. trying many new things 2. in a very tight feedback loop So, code little ideas, but make sure you start from the essence of the problem - not the registration/login process, not the new

4.2% are related to YC! I wonder how many are related to Stanford or another institution?

Every user might verify just a random sample of all calculations and the system would still work.

Google's +1 is pretty cool in this respect. If you +1 articles you read, their search scores will be boosted for your subsequent searches, so you'll be more likely to stumble upon them if you are looking for something related (but

This doesn't trigger autocompletion of attributes in dreampie / bpython / ipython - the original implementation does.

CUDA is used to learn the evaluation function, at play time it uses a Python implementation of Negamax that uses this evaluation function to estimate how good are the leaf positions.

I wish the author included data sorted in a van Emde Boas layout, which should be the cache-friendly equivalent of a sorted array to be searched with binary search.

It is a trivial problem. Track how anyone with a smartphone and your app on it moves around the city. Aggregate which paths they choose and which turn out to be faster / better. Then propose those paths to other users asking for routin

I wonder if statistical machine translation approach could be usefully applied here. Get tons of source from github, compile with every compiler available, train on the result. It would be challenging to compile automatically at scale, to a

The cstore_fdw extension uses the Optimized Row Columnar (ORC) format, which seems to be PAX in your nomenclature. The improvements he accomplished seems to be related just to the first "fact" that you listed, which applies to all

"Google" does not think that, a cofounder of the Dart project does.

I thought LightTable is an IDE, not rethinking programming :) Anyway, great thinking, I've actually come to a lot of the same conclusions. I'd suggest an inspiration: spreadsheets. Can you implement the separation of data model fr

Fairly obvious extension: when arrived at a composite image, choose the one image from the set that is closest to it and show that instead of the composite to get a sharp version.

Dominant assurance contracts might be interesting here. It's a mechanism like Kickstarter, but if a project can't reach it's funding goal, the entrepreneur pays something the people who tried to support it. This makes waiting

There seems to be a fundamental trade-off between latency and throughput, with stream processors optimizing for latency and batch processors optimizing for throughput. The post says stream processors are actually used for reprocessing in pr

I have a vehicle routing solution (minimal routes via multiple destinations, with time windows, capacity constraints, weekly scheduling; it's a website service on top of Google Maps) that I would be happy to provide for free to social

I guess "working correctly" for cyclic dependencies means you need to introduce the concept of time and be careful to update everything in the proper moment? What is this useful for?

I wonder if this technology will eventually become good enough to measure the heart rate of lying politicians from just video records. Bill Clinton would make an excellent example. Makeup might fool it though.

Just having the right culture is not a solution. You can have a culture that routinely goes for Pareto optimality. If that's not an evolutionary stable strategy, the moment you introduce agents that choose the Nash equilibrium instead,

The Wikipedia entry is quite unclear. The paper itself states at this point it's a proposal of academic and not practical interest, since a vote buying attack has been discovered. http://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest&#x2F

Is the table rendering the result set an image, or is there a way to render arbitrary HTML in a notebook from your Python code?

Came here to write this. Promise pipelining is an especially interesting attempt to solve latency in RPC (although it doesn't always work).

It might make sense to run nginx on a separate server / vps just for better security.

Well, sort of. With this architecture (not using a real database) it is fairly easy to save the state to S3, every minute. I don't have an automated way to rebuild the server in case of failure yet, but this is coming as part of https

If you are just starting, you should have the simplest setup - everything on one server - and scale it only when it becomes necessary. Premature scalability adds complexity and slows down your iterations. My setups usually consist of an ngi
