Graph theory is a good example of this - the asymptotically fastest minimum spanning tree algorithm was made possible by Hopcroft and Karp just drawing weird data structures on a chalkboard until union-find popped out, which gives you near-linear time MST.

What you describe isn't super far off from what HN does—it is a mixture of voting and curation. I wouldn't go so far as to call us a BD though.

For sure the goal of HN is to optimize for quality content, though, not engagement per se (though engagement is important to deciding what counts as high-quality), nor raw numbers. That's because the value of the site is intellectual curiosity.

Not suggesting that everything go in separate regions, but let's say they have N major functions (where N < 10) .. maybe physics, AI, render, network, etc. that would each run in their own address space. If N were even, say, 20 this still only comes out to 20 * 4KB (PPC page size) = 80KB, which I would classify as trivial.

You're right. I don't speak for all gay people and that's why I said often. I certainly have talked to a lot of gay people about this topic.

So you find it difficult to believe someone who's gay would feel alienated by 4chan. What is that belief based on exactly?

Why Perl 6 is Worst programming language (Proof Included)
Perl 6 is fucking very ugly! Larry Wall added more symbols in Perl 6 that make your Perl code unreadable and unmaintainble. Larry Wall proudly present his periodic table of operators in Perl 6. Proof See this -> www.ozonehouse.com/mark/blog/code/PeriodicTable.pdf

If you don't believe me then visit the official documentation of Perl 6 here -> http://doc.perl6.org/language/operators

Perl is also known as real write only language. Over-reused of punctuation/symbols that make programmers suffer from undecipherable Perl code and experience maintenance nightmare. Proof See this -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-only_language

The creator of C++ Bjarne Stroustrup said many times that Perl is not worth it anymore. Proof -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvWTnIoQZj4

The creator of C# - Anders Hejlsberg said in interview that No to Perl, I will not add some exotic feature of Perl in my C# like "There's more than one way to do it."

James Gosling the father of Java, Criticized Perl for being ugly, doing unintuitive approach and can't scale in large projects.

Also of note is that fragmentation of physical RAM is completely irrelevant, aside from locality issues. They can map random physical pages into one nice, contiguous virtual space, and the only thing that matters is fragmentation in the virtual space. Since a each process gets its own entire 4GB virtual address space on a 32bit system, fragmentation nearly becomes a non-issue.

This is also why I suspect that they were mapping their virtual address space using block translation instead of a page table - if they had a page table, even in one process, it shouldn't have been a big issue since the virtual address space is many times larger than the available physical ram on the 360/PS3/Wii. The other possibility is that much of their RAM needs to be accessible by the GPU, for which fragmentation is an issue.

Despite all the interesting cameras that have been made recently, they all rely on one piece of technology that is pretty archaic, the lens. Today's lenses are definitely limiting the image quality available on small sensors, and they seems to improve at a snails pace. I'm cautiously optimistic that this camera may be able to correct for many of the issues with the lenses by using the multiple lenses to create the single image.

I agree that fasting hits everyone differently, but then, the same can be said of drugs. It's ludicrous to think that one day we will have a drug that mimics the effects of fasting, but without any negative side effects. Whatever drug they come up with in the end, it will have its various effects that hit different people in different ways. Which brings up the obvious point, if the drug does no more than fasting, with whatever side effects fasting raises, then what is the advantage of the drug?
According to the FAQ they support raw DNG. Does that mean that you can get the raw sensor data for each individual sensor and you can hack around your own algorithm for merging them?

I don't really think that the action of sanitizing reddit could be characterized as "pretending it does not exist or that you can wish it away". Its pretty likely that the people that are trying to do that are acutely aware of the presence of the Other.

I also find it curious that you're using the capital o Other. Is that a deliberately existentialist term?
There are all kinds of subs on reddit, ones with anything goes as well as curated ones. If you like civil talk only head on over there, if you like uncivil conversation, head over there. There is no reason they can't coexist, just not in the same sub.

Physical harm is a crime. Some speech is a tort. Very limited aspects of speech are a crime (doxing, some bullying) but aside from those forms, I think it's disingenuous to want to control people's thoughts, no matter how ridiculous.

Climate change deniers are laughably wrong, by the vast majority of accounts and evidence _however_ I would not want them silenced just because they are in the wrong on their opinion or facts. I do not agree with that.

I am glad that reddit, for the most part, has not greatly changed their stand on speech. I understand they have commercial concerns and need to bow to those pressures, but I am glad they allow, by and large, the full spectrum of humanity and inhumanity.
Even better they can tell me when a band is playing locally. I listen to so many bands on Pandora, and I always seem to find out about smaller shows after they happen.

Pandora can significantly increase the attendance at these shows. That's much more important economically to most bands than the tiny royalty checks. It can be a real benefit to the music business.
Perhaps, but it's possible that it was actually the other way around since Virtual Memory and multicore came at about the same time. By running everything in a single process, they probably avoided forcing clean interfaces and dependencies between their functions, which might have actually hurt their ability to utilize the CPU efficiently.

I disagree. The North Korea comparison is extremely useful, seeing as Cuba and North Korea are among the third world nations with the least widespread public Internet connectivity over the last 20 years. They're also both ruled by Communist dictatorships and have been for many decades. They both have extraordinarily low median incomes, among the lowest on earth in fact. Cuba is better off than North Korea, that's well understood.

Cuba should be equated to North Korea, for decades they've been in the same tier of economic development and the same tier of Internet access. The parent using Cuba as a reference makes perfect sense. What other nation would one compare Cuba to exactly? Where else do people earn $20 per month, have extremely limited access to the Internet, no freedom of speech or press, and live under a Communist dictatorship?
The problem with low voltage DC wiring is that it requires much more metal to prevent serious losses in the lines. You could switch to higher in the lines and then a converter in the wall but then you're back to the same circuit breaker problem. AC deals with this by the fact that zero crossing gives a great way to break arcs and you can convert it to DC really efficiently.

I got the link from somewhere, possibly on SILC, and remember the ensuing discussion. There was a lot of bickering, and one of the comments has remained with me. Can't remember the exact words, but the context was "if this was NSA, they sure knew how to appear juvenile."
This camera, like many that have come before it are likely to be subject to the uncanny valley of market. Consumers won't want to stomach the price tag and professionals are already accustomed to their DSLR's, and in most cases have significant investment in specific brand and/or lens type with a lot of expensive glass.

Professionals don't care about the bulkiness of their cameras, they care about the performance and flexibility. DSLRs have 20+ years of development in terms of speed, durability, flexibility and the raw image processing power that the giants have spent decades perfecting (lots of work on DSPs).

How many pictures can it take in burst mode? How long does the battery last? Can I use my suite of existing lenses with this?

Sorry to say this camera, while unique and technical marvel, has an uphill battle from the business perspective. It's interesting from a niche perspective but I don't see it becoming a huge success financially for them, which is unfortunate because many talented people probably worked on this.

Great as long as the algorithm isn't hiding a bunch.

I stopped using Pandora years ago when I interviewed with them and they ranted at me about how much they hate paying customers because they make more on advertising, which is when I started paying twice as much for Spotify.

Also, the people I know that use Pandora, and my experience of using Pandora literally since they were announced on Slashdot and were one of the first Flash apps, is that they do better 'radio' than other folks, but if you stick with a channel, it don't change much over years.
I like C++, but I am also quite older than the language and remember when the language was seen as unsuitable to write any of those systems you have mentioned.

Eventually it got adopted by people like myself that didn't care for the naysayers and its compilers improved to the point many think it was always like that.

Likewise others will use languages that the naysayers of today won't see as proper to write them and in ca 20 years from now, everyone will think they were always that way.

That was fast. I met them pre-launch at Channel Advisor Catalyst earlier this year. Wouldn't it make sense to at least go a year? They had a fancy booth, fancy swag, and they have a fancy website. No traction?
I like that idea too, but what I like even more is the bold originality in it. I think hackers who make these new programming languages should try to be original, and experiment with weird things that actually help them solve whatever problems they feel they have during development, because language is pretty much a programmer's user interface.

And also this particular feature is close to my heart, because what I would like to see as a feature(s) in programming languages that the programmer would only supply the data schema, and compiler selects the actual data structure based on run time performance characteristics of the program.
Yep. I use Pandora, because it's good at doing a "mood" for different kinds of gatherings. But the stations gather dust over time without modification.

My first thoughts as a working professional for 10 years.

Forget a raw file format (that you will be able to use in LR/PS) and the flexibility and editing headroom it gives you. Perhaps there will be some specialist proprietary software like for the Lytro. Considering this I really hope, as The Verge article says, "the output isn't as punchy". The lack of a raw file format will also mean that you can forget DCP camera profiles to normalize the output with my other cameras.

What we know nothing about: what will AF be like? What will the dynamic range be like (considering they're stitching, not stacking, smartphone sensors)? Noise will probably be OK as you can downsample. But Sony is and Canon has 42/49 MP FF cameras out that doesn't need downsampling to look good.

Focal length range is a bit strange. 35mm equiv is a bit on the long side to be an all-round solution. 24-70 would have been OK for me, but I realize that's personal.

Portability looks tempting though!

They were at Channel Advisor Catalyst, a trade show for e-commerce channels and services. We do shipping auditing and were exhibiting; they wouldn't give me much chance to chat with them.

We have a login gate on Open Listings [0]. I'm pretty torn on it. On the one hand we want to reduce friction for people to get to our detail pages. On the other hand, if you just browse a few listings, you might never understand our value prop and we won't be able to actually save you money on your home purchase. Capturing emails allows us to trigger a drip campaign that teaches users about our value prop. The typical buyer signs up, starts requesting property info a few days later (competitive analysis, details we're not allowed to display), then puts in offers a couple weeks after signing up.

I suppose it's a little different with real estate (really big ticket item, you just buy one) but the general principle holds -- getting an email allows you to engage with a user over a longer period of time.

The difference in scale is 4-5 orders of magnitude here, probably more. And at such different scales, I don't see how the same rules apply.

For instance, trying to increase the value of USD with your work when billions of people on the planet are doing the same is basically impossible and unpredictable even if you're a great researcher / business leader / whatever, to say the least. The same is not the case with YC equity, where you can expect, with a fairly high probability, a significant increase in your equity if your research contributes hundreds of millions of dollars worth to a YC startup.

I'm not trying to be poke holes in the idea or anything like that, just genuinely wondering -- and the analogy to USD doesn't seem like the right answer.
