> We should pause the payment terms on all contracts by 90 days (and more later if needed). This plan, in effect, extends the Fed’s zero percent interest bailout to everyone and not just the banks. This sounds like a very interesting sol

Genuine question to the experts: What are the chances that this effect is caused by how we attribute the accidents to time intervals? I haven't read the whole paper, but when they say accident rate is increased by 6%, is that counted b

Why isn't this the 3rd option: Set the S3 bucket private and give CloudFront access to it. I've been using it for a while and it seems to be working.

This is so cool. How do they connect the virtual scene with the ground? Do they have screens on the floor as well?

This. For Chrome users, I was using the "Windowed - floating Youtube/every website" plugin to achieve the same effect. It also gives you the control UI, which PiP doesn't have yet.

You built this in a day? That's very impressive.

That's very interesting. Do you mind sharing some more details on what those computations are? Where can I learn more about these DNA analysis use cases?

That's a very bad way of justifying killing 150k people every single day. But anyway here's a good response to your concern: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20094281

I know this is b2b, but I would love to stick this thing on every single item in my house and track them digitally. Any thoughts on whether that'd be possible, in terms of cost and the tracking algorithm? Edit: in case it's not ob

Agreed. Often I find reading the accompanying source code is more useful to understand the model. > 3. What is the overall size of the model. Size, not parameter count. What's the difference?

I work for a big corp. I want to do side projects, and I want to make money off of them. How do I make sure I don't end up in this situation in the first place?

All WoW plugins are open source by default. They are essentially Lua scripts.

I created and maintained a game plugin for World of Warcraft. For those of you who don't know, the plugin API changed constantly. It used to be that after every new release, the first thing I did was not enjoying the new version of the

Maybe, for some people, but definitely not me. Maybe I'm just weird, but I hate video conferencing so much. It makes me feel uneasy and being watched. When I'm in audio only mode I can express myself much better. And this is not j

Any idea what to look for when searching for such a job? I have asked about micromanagement in interviews before but I usually just get bullshit answers.

Yes. It creates another problem on a different level, which is that creators now try to hack the algorithm and generate contents that are more likely to be recommended.

I know in some restaurants they give you a discount if you pay cash. Not sure if it's legal or not.

Off-topic, what's the current state of protein folding simulation? Is it still an unsolved problem? It was mentioned pretty often as a hard problem but I stopped hearing about it a couple years ago.

Story time: I wrote an 8080 emulator to play the Space Invaders. I implemented just enough instructions so I could play the game. Problem was, the game's title screen would show, but after a few seconds, it would immediately jump back

This is interesting. I noticed that the first compilation is sort of slow (takes a couple seconds). But each subsequent small change is almost instant. How is this done? I'd imagine each tex->ps should take at least a few seconds.

I see why people love the plugin. One thing that stops me from using Vimium is it doesn't support opening links in a new window. I don't like tabs and use my window manager to, well, manage my windows. Not being able to open links

Not even joking here, I got triggered by the "mosaic newsletter" animation half way through the article and I had to close the article. That's how strong my trypophobia is. Heck, even the word "trypophobia" is a tri

I actually read their digest on a daily basis, and used to be confused by this as well. My observation is that each link in the digest actually points to an answer of a particular question. When you click on it, it looks like you arrive at

What you said makes sense. The question is more from the perspective of the compiler/assembler. At these layers you explicitly say, move this number to this register, or read a number from this address. But you very rarely are able to

This might be a naive question: how did we decide as an industry that cache should be controlled by the hardware, but registers and main memory by the compiler?

Same. I've had this happen to me twice. Once I was sitting in the back and farthest away from the sound source, but it was still so bad I had to leave. Now I don't go to any concerts without a pair of ear plugs.
