   One of the fundamental premises of simulated annealing is this "looking backwards" approach. It's for the sake of the sanity of the implementor. How do you modify scalar values that determine a random process in such a way th

   Simulated annealing is used heavily in chip design automation (EDA). I first used it when writing a toy placement tool while taking a course on the subject. Slide 5 of this deck shows some of the problems in chip-design, most of which have

   Two of the worst things about JS that come to mind in terms of security: Every number is in 64-bit floating point. So if you want to do any number-theory-based crypto (Elliptic Curve) or you have do deal with numbers bigger than (2^48) you

    Not only that, but it covers some very useful DS/A like Binary Index Trees and Computational Geometry to which many students are never exposed.

    You can't offer bandwidth at a premium, without reducing the bandwidth available to others. That's (physically) how the Internet works. No matter what Wheeler says, there's no way that paid prioritization of traffic can be do

    I've mounted a growing suspicion that Bitcoin was developed to create a need for SHA-256 ASICs. Well, here they are, and it's much easier to brute-force a SHA-256 hash collision than it was 5 years ago. In fact you can compute bil

    I'm afraid you're right. On Ubuntu I tried rolling my spin locks and ring buffers, but it just didn't produce the deep soundstage that I would expect from raw source.

    The best part is that the developer is called "Team Shanghai Alice" on the title screen and elsewhere. This gave me the impression that it was a ton of people working on the games. I was shocked to find out that it was one guy.

    This seems like complete BS to me. I wonder how it's going to show up in the blockchain. I suspect Kerpeles has somehow shuffled a few 10,000 BTCs to a private account, considering the lack of records. I lost over $5000 USD (in fiat) o

    So you run tests on SQLite and use Postgres in production? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, if it hasn't already.
