How often are frequency-domain tools actually used on perfectly periodic signals? The mathematics assumes the sample is of a (bandlimited) periodic signal, but so what? What is of interest here is the power spectrum of the sample.

Cute, but there are a lot of situations where this breaks down. It assumes that a programmer's efficiency is independent of a program's efficiency. If I have to wait hours for a job to complete that could be completed in moments w

No, you missed the point. In problems with a very large sample space, quasi-MC methods are invaluable. They converge faster and can be shown to approximately have the benefits of traditional MC methods.

I can't speak for this product, but the Boeing HUDs do exactly this: to see the display clearly you need to focus at infinity. That is why they are so useful.

I turned off after they spent five minutes talking about driving to DEFCON. Eh.

The point is there may be an additional, secret, logic block which allows malicious access to the flops.

Technology is good, the human interface sucks. How about a Google Glass-esque helmet indicator?

Even Facebook events now seem tacky for anything other than massive events in my social circles.

Is it really that black and white to compare the size of engineering teams 20 years apart?

I will probably receive flack for this, but am I the only one that thinks it is a little bizarre this much branding and visual design has gone into a CSV parser?

A damn shame. ANU just published a study finding the carbon price was effective at curbing emissions too [1]. Oh well... [1] https://ccep.crawford.anu.edu.au/publication/ccep-working-pa...

I had no idea what it meant until the article described it. I can't unsee the pot now, but I still think it is confusing.

Or, as they said, the software has commercial value: http://www.aec.gov.au/about_aec/AEC_Services/Fee_for_service...

In their defence, in Section 15 of the FOI rejection letter, they mention the software is used for several fee-for-service industrial elections.

Australian elections ARE pen and paper. The ballots are entered (by hand AFAIK) into the AEC's central system to compute the complex preference flows. Realistically, the algorithm isn't that complicated, and the ABC does a good jo

Eh, I do similar work, but find his whining tone intolerable.

I love HN. In response to a complaint about learning new frameworks, you suggest three other alternatives.

The linked W3C mailing list[1] provides some interesting discussion, as well as a blog post from Jan outlining this attack[2]. The conclusion: security benefits of CSP outweigh cons. [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Pub

What makes it the ultimate geek keyboard, other than the name? I love my TKL, but I would never buy something without a Function row.

I'm impressed first year students can write such clean assembly. Also that they can write both driver code and a higher level rasterizer.

No way is 28nm cheaper than 32nm per chip. Even though the die size shrinks, the process is much more expensive. Also, s/waffles/wafers/
