Wow, this is amazing how easily fusing can be done with just a few linear typed primitives. The cool part is that if you have a for loop of vecbuilders and inside the for loop you have vecbuilders as well, the code can be fused quite easily

I work at Google as well and actually they give us plastic plates to be able to bring dinner home. Some colleagues of mine use this perk to bring their baby food so that they don't have to cook at home. There's a catch though: the

Probably not, it was just my expectation to see some beautiful animation that a team wouldn't be able to do after the headline. I still remember when I watched Lion King in the theatre when I was about 10 years old, and I was very sad

Actually you're right. Still, I don't see any data proving the headline in the title by any metric. The whole article is just an advertisement.

It looks like it had 0 success, maybe even less than 4 years work's worth of revenue (I couldn't find any data on it), so the conclusion should be the opposite: even if people slow other people down by getting on agreement, the fi

That's the worst thing to do: doesn't provide any value at the part that matters. It may worth to improve code quality where it matters (the business logic), but to improve it where it doesn't matter is a waste of time to bot

Actually it doesn't look like an ambiguity: they select a winner chain (hopefully the one with the higher price) and keep the money that's on the other chain. I don't think that this is a good strategy for an exchange, but it

I can't comment on Google, as I work there, but I started reading the book, and it looks interesting..I wish history was taught like this.

So many names and buzzwords and they couldn't even get 90% on MNIST. Quantum computers may help in the future, but it seems like they are not yet practical for deep learning.

What's interesting is Peter Thiel is one of the few rich people who accepts and says it openly that creating monopoly is the only way to get extremely rich. Although I don't like the deals he does to get government contracts, I ca

Bitcoin is taking away the biggest power that the governments have: printing money from thin air. They need it especially for paying their military. There may be a time in the future when it may worth for a government to protect Bitcoin for

I don't know how much it's true in America, but here in Europe I see men moving to high paying jobs in already expensive cities (and making the cities even more expensive for women to move to) and women moving to cheaper cities (w

Actually this isn't a totally trivial question. The time zones in calendar appointments can change, if there's a switch between standard time and summer time. You need to know when is the hour set back by 1 hour, and in that case

Wow, I just looked at the title of the paper, and it's the opposite of the HN title: one is about marriage (yes, of course jobs matter a lot), the other is about relationships. Number of married years per person is declining, number of

This may be true now, but there's a trend of women accepting that a man earns less (or even sometimes doesn't have a job) as long as she doesn't yet want to have a baby, and the man looks hot. It's still all about supply

Luckily there's a long thread on bitcoin-dev mailing list about how disastorous the consequences can be if somebody is able to change the git-tree because of this attack scenario, so I'm not the only one who thinks that signing on

I don't agree with the decision but I would rather code 10 minutes than to buy a ticket and fly back 9 hours to get home. For me the second option would be rudiculous.

Brexit is a mess. It's the first time that I'm seeing British people leaving their own country and come to Switzerland where they don't know the language at all. My friends who moved to London from Eastern Europe want to leav

When I read ,,the only thing you need is an editor'', I thought how cool it would be if what I write would be reviewed by some people before going public...it would make me less shy about it. Then I realized he means a text editor
