Http 402: “my time to shine”

Was the word “inflammable”?

From the article, she says they tried "1.0 / (1 << mj)", which turned out to be slower than the lookup table. May or may not be equivalent to java.lang.Math.scalb, I dunno.

I've found this tool to be super-helpful: https://github.com/dvorka/hstr

It's like ctrl-r, but it shows you many candidates at once.

Would -XX:-UsePerfData also work?

I noticed jankiness in my eclipse and adding that flag seemed to help.

I'm confused by the discussion of multi-lingual corpora. Is it common in topic modeling to consider documents drawn from disjoint vocabularies, or is it just a kind of thought experiment?

Dear lazyhackernews,

What would the night sky look like with the milky way subtracted out?

Thanks in advance!

I'd be interested in learning more about this.

Why wasn't the DLL signed? Is this not a thing?

Did the strength of the ssl decryption change? Do some browsers not support 256 bit ssl encryption?

For me, chrome still beats this webkit and the latest firefox for deep learning mnist in the browser:

Could the same effect be achieved in software for computer displays?

I really wanted prismatic to be the replacement for google reader, but after a year with it I still feel like I have lots of unmet needs.

The article doesn't offer much on how it became a hit.

I learned about Papers Please from nerdcubed on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV-6YSye2Vo

I bet he hasn't spent anything on, say, a google ad campaign.

This isn't always possible or desirable: "you should always try to hire someone better than you".

Building an organization is really challenging; I don't know how to draw a line between investing more in someone versus cutting them loose.

Salesforce runs buses too.

Were you already serving thumbnails over https? Or were they served over http?

edit: I was also wondering whether you can skip downloading some thumbnails based on the velocity of the scroll.

Why does anyone lend credence to speedtest.net scores, particularly in the context of a net neutrality discussion?

I love project euler, but I've come to the realization that its purpose is to beat programmers soundly about the head and neck with a big math stick. At work last week, we were working on project euler at lunch, and had the one CS PhD in our midst not jumped up and explained the chinese remainder theorem to us, we wouldn't have had a chance.

cotap could not be more annoying.

James Hamilton's blog is not to be missed:

What are the access paths that presto uses (full scan, range scan, skip scan, ...)? Does it understand indexes?

I know there's a family of compounds found in wine that can smell like cat urine[1]. If this laptop has a rubberized component, some googling[2] indicates these same compounds may be employed in their manufacture.

Reminds me of http://math.uchicago.edu/~shmuel/Network-course-readings/MCM... using MCMC to break a prisoner substitution cipher.

Are there researchers out there testing whether facebook regresses security fixes?

Or would the effort not procure enough reward?

a collaborative filtering server.

It strikes me as a lot of overengineering with no real meat at the core.

I would guess that InnoDB is trying to preserve some behavior of MySQL where full table scans are expected to proceed by primary key order.

The solution sounds fragile; I guess you can't query by extent?

I'm curious what kind of data they want to analyze with deep learning.

Assuming the machine is stateless, why can't the space of hole cards be mapped out and and strategies/responses enumerated?

But ultimately, the whole enterprise just seems distasteful: "Look, there was a 24-year-old who had beaten it for a while. Now he’s broke. And I think this machine had something to do with his demise."
