   Thanks for clarifying. I was on my cell phone and was very brief.

   On creating a single-cycle permutation from a shuffle: Take 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and shuffle it. 4, 3, 0, 5, 1, 2 Now you can read out a permutation: 4 → 3 3 → 0 0 → 5 5 → 1 1 → 2 2 → 4 It will only have one cycle.

   Stuff like this shows that we need to introduce even more things into C++. I am not kidding. There are still many things to improve in C++.

   I'm sorry, but this post is not a very good explanation. Here's why we should invert the CDF: > The issue is that if we flip x and y’s in a PDF, there would be multiple y values corresponding to the same x. This isn’t true in a

   No. For example, in my country Sweden, a major part of the national debt is between the government and the central bank. Basically, the central bank created money and gave it to the government. Viewing the government and the central bank as

    I would add a third purpose: 3. Show what is novel in your work. Novelty is important in many academic situations.

    Yes. You always cite your source. Period. Sometimes you also cite sources to help the reader. E.g., I have cited Wikipedia articles for basic concepts in peer-reviewed articles.

    I also got to the front page and saw similar, low numbers that were trivial to handle. I suspect they can get much higher.

    This is a really good point. It seems likely that proper nouns were not taken into account.

    But Cmake has support for IDEs like Visual Studio. That is a huge benefit compared to Bazel.

    > C++ needs the full definition of a class, including its private members, before you can use its methods. This is a huge dependency headache. Most later languages have interfaces or traits or something to decouple class definition and i

    GFS does not really solve the same problem as ZFS, I think.

    > We should probably draw different conclusions given a tiny effect at p=0.05 versus a large, obvious effect at p=0.05 I'm not sure that "large, obvious effect" and "p=0.05" are compatible, though.

    Obviously I have no clue about your personal situation, but many people working in AI could afford to take a year-long sabbatical after a while. But sure, such a grant may be useful. Most current grants require you to work in academia.

    Glad to see this comment here. There seems to be a lot of other people on HN who really like to make fun of economics.

    The data consists of 50k records. The fastest code in the post takes 3 seconds. Have many programmers completely lost the ability to know roughly how fast code "should" be?

    But isn't cash legal tender in the US? If you have just eaten at restaurant, you have a debt to it. I thought they had to accept cash then?

    Bayesian Methods for Hackers https://github.com/CamDavidsonPilon/Probabilistic-Programmin... is really fun. But it does not exactly teach the basics of data science.

    ?? Surely Rust would have helped against heartbleed? I mean, some servers were leaking private keys because they sent random segments of memory back to clients.

    As far as line endings etc goes, WSL is Linux. It literally has the same binaries running.
