Always? No. Will autonomous cars change it? Doubtful. In fact, it could make it worse, because who cares if your commute is 3 hours instead of 2 as long as you can watch American Idol while you're doing it.

Is the number of Push Collectors to Pushers constant or can it vary based upon notification load?

I see datacenter revenue estimated to go from 7% to 15% in 2 years. If deep learning continues to grow datacenter revenue will likely exceed gaming revenue. Depending upon competition and long term growth gaming revenue could become just a

Yeah, we recently had a co-worker complain about immutability ("it just exists to be a pain in my ass"). I asked to examine his code and sure enough, pointed out that if he mutated the variable it would have created bugs in other

Do companies really want this? Doesn't this mean I can host my side project on company infrastructure? Commit it to company repositories? Submit it for code review which will probably be done on company time?

How many successful companies do the exact opposite of Google? Have you done any research to determine which company succeeded: in spite of, because of, or no effect, from these models? What about the - surely - hundreds or thousands of c

Programming languages are already an intermediate piece of text that computers understand really, really well. The problem is always one of human intention, and crafting the correct program based upon what the human intends to be saying, a

Beyond that, as an outsider looking in I may be off base, but the rise of machine learning seems mostly fueled by the rise of GPGPU. So I would say it's not different, in that we experienced something similar with regular CPUs until a

Sure, but I've read a story like this about about pretty much every company. In our house we have our photos in 3 places: the device, remote backup, and local offline backup (external hard drive). 2 is easy, 3 takes a little bit of a

The difference is most people won't need brain surgery in their lifetime. A more relevant comparison would be car maintenance.

ESPN pays out an insane amount of cash for their deals with various sports leagues. Their business model completely relies on people who don't watch the channel to still pay them, and seem to be locked into that business model. If pe

That chart seems odd. From what I'm aware of, not all parts of "oil" are used for the same thing. E.g. before the internal combustion engine, gasoline was an unwanted byproduct of creating kerosene, and was usually dumped i

Maybe I'm wrong, but my assumption is the difference between "standard home" and "standard home with solar + other easy wins" (such as tearing out your lawn in SoCal, where I live) is overall "better" than

I would question someone's actual motives if they demolished a house so they could build a new one in name of sustainability. How much time would it take to recuperate that full rebuild vs. just retrofitting the already existing house

Ours wasn't as dismal (the zero sales part), but in order to get a sale we had to spend ~5 times as much on Facebook ads vs. Google ads. The bounce rate alone from Facebook ads was just under 3x that of Google ads - around 90%. I&#x27

It's because C is terrible when it's not strictly necessary, and it's not strictly necessary for the vast majority of things people work on here.

Problem 2 is underspecified so both answers might be wrong. Should the output on the string "aaaabbbaa" be "a4b3a2" or "a6b3"? Or is that invalid input? I don't think you can reasonably answer the problem

I would be interested in seeing what your actual proposed solution to the example problem is here. You seem to be implying that we should pull back the full list of posts and order & limit in memory. This might make sense for some sca

I would claim this is true of FPTP too - just in FPTP, people vote for their 2nd, or 3rd favorite candidate. At least with RCV your preference is known, rather than hidden in some corner of your mind.

This can work in suburbs, but in a dense city one neighborhood's decisions will have a large effect other neighborhoods.

Of course there's no blog post about how you should use a new piece of tech at your company because you saw a toy example of using it and like it - because when you put it that way it sounds ridiculous. Instead you have people posting

Yes, directly. The site we run had free shipping at first. But for our given store, for the vast majority of our orders, the shipping costs come out the same. And from my experience, there's a huge difference in customer behavior bet

We just take the middle ground. We charge one rate for shipping internationally, and one for shipping domestically. The charge is for the minimum shipping cost we have. We don't recover the full cost of shipping, but it's good e

From my experience, the price of installing solar on 1/4th of your roof is more expensive than installing a full, brand new roof. Beyond that, not all parts of the roof are created equal for solar - some will generated much less energy

Mine isn't, because I always forget to activate rain delay. And under our water restriction, we could get fined for watering within 24 hours of rain. I'm assuming you always remember?

The point is people will shit where they eat, regardless of how much you like it. To that point, what was the dating policy at your wife's company?
