This doesn't strike me as "dialect" so much as "accent". There seems to be nothing lexical (nothing about the words you use) and only matters of pronunciation are covered. But it's a great map, and I'd lov

Failure to replicate at that rate was an alarm bell indicating that studies were less robust and reproducible than previously assumed. It's not entirely "normal" science, as a high rate of failure in replication can be a symp

In the long term I believe it will make sense to treat criminal prosecutions and trials as a classification problem. Given these facts and this evidence, is person X innocent or guilty of the crime? It seems tools are being developed right

Better AVR support for Rust? Can anyone comment on this?

So NAT is virtuous because it (in effect) expands the address space and makes address assignment (partly) dynamic (because the above-32-bit address components are assigned at connection time). But I think the article is ignorant of the real

Amazon is more or less conducting an auction. Cities will bid on hosting their second HQ. The best bid wins. Or maybe a better analogy is the Olympics site selection process.

"socialism" may have been the instrument, but why did the AMA use it to scare people out of supporting Truman's plan? Because they felt the plan encroached on their power. That's why the AMA advocated for expanded privat

It's like an action movie escape. I'm really, really glad I wasn't on that flight, but it's exciting to watch from a safe remove!

Seems to be following in the footsteps of Firefox OS. They had APIs for everything.

Finding most frequent words/phrases will tell you a lot. There's also topic modeling if you have enough text.

For me it's usually little things like `TryFrom`. Bits of API that aren't stabilized.

It seems weird, though, that an operation like ticketmaster wouldn't work to get rid of this middleman over time, by assuming themselves the risk they had been paying (indirectly) scalpers to assume. Maybe it's that artists also l

24.5 trillion gallons of water is a huge problem... and also a huge resource. It's just in the wrong place, right? What if we had a system for rerouting water dumps like this around the country and could send it to a drought region? We

Looks exciting. I'm interested in how this might relate to the following use of generators from Python: def gen(*items): for x in items: if x > 5: yield x for y in gen(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9): p

I think he's complaining about the fact that lambdas in Python can't be multiline. The equivalent in Javascript can be as big as you want. That means in Python you have to separately define your function and then refer to it, wher

Being easy to replicate often suggests that it is, in fact, _obvious_. Which is supposed to invalidate the patent.

Something similar has helped me in not drinking pop/soda. I just get soda water and add lemons/limes. It has the flavor and fizziness of Sprite, just not the sweetness. And it's pretty widely available.

This problem has concerned me for some time. One solution would be for websites to declare their license (Creative Commons, proprietary, public domain, etc.) and then web pages can embed the content of pages linked to when the license allow

I spent a month in Salamanca and fell in love with the siesta. In that fairly small town it seemed the traditional siesta rhythm was in full swing. We'd go home in the afternoon, eat a delicious lunch, take a nap, and then head back. T

I'm a Rocket fan and glad to see this big slate of improvements. On the other hand, I do want to register a bit of concern regarding the plan to add "first-class database support" for 0.4. I hope that doesn't result in a

I think the basic idea is to show through your profile that you're a competent developer. The project you pick doesn't necessarily need to do anything new and amazing, it just needs to be your work. You could make a task-list app
