Facebook also tracks users across the web, isn't that what the like buttons are for?

Strange to see this on the front page. I mean, it was probably a good learning experience, but a CSV parser written in pure Python is not going to be faster than numpy. There must be something wrong with that benchmark. I don't see how

After the replication crisis and "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False," I am very sceptical of statistical findings like this with a poorly/not understood mechanism. But the RNA theory at least sounds possible to l

1. Even if it is of infinite capacity, one datacenter will not be able to store everything . The data needs to be moved there as well. 2. My point was that there's no way NSA will use the data stored there in ways that will give the e

Of course, global optimization using the Lipschitz constant has been around for decades. As far as I understand, this paper also estimates the constant. Is that the novelty or is it the convergence proofs? Another method for global optimiza

I’ve had fun playing this with friends, so I cleaned up the code a bit and converted it to Python 3.5 + aiohttp. Most fun to play in the same room, IMO.

The movie Modern Times (1936) had a video phone in the factory, if I recall correctly.

Yes, and lack of proper tools is of course the main reason against a monorepo. Google had to develop most of its dev tools internally.

There is a relatively large distance between the native approach and kd-trees. I'm not sure that can be explained with equidistance alone. There might be a subtle bug.

I think this is true. In Stockholm, Google pays engineers much more than native Swedish companies (it seems).

I have a policy that if an app sends a single undesired notification, I disable its notifications forever. That even Google violates its own Android notification guidelines is annoying.

Well, you can define a function in Java called setFoo, but that instead sets bar. Similar. You can intentionally confuse in most letters if you want to.

I like the fact that in C++, the line x = y; behaves the same if the types are int and vector<int> (unlike e.g. Java and Python).

Machine translation has become really, really good. I did not spot many mistakes.

I don't agree. Language designers are optimizing common use cases and that is a good thing.

Yes. It follows from the wave equation.

Of course no one says that on their deathbed. Many people on their deathbeds have been retired for more than 20 years. People in their 20s often care about their career. People in their 80s often do not. Who's right? It's often a

Why do all the boards need to be kept in memory during the search?

No, humans are pretty terrible at approximating e.g. TSP or max-cut. I don't think it is a good definition of intelligence.

Constexpr everything can cause issues. Constexpr is a big part of a function interface. After you have applied it, you can never add logging etc.
