Always programming. During holidays I like to get familiar with new technologies to see what they offer. Exploratory programming I guess you could call it.

You might have misunderstood my comment (or Scott's writings?) Classical computers are limited by what they can compute because the universe has limits. A 10,000 qubit quantum computer can factor fairly large numbers. 10,000 qubits is

That should not matter. Quantum computers promise to do things that classical computers will never be able to do. A 'proper' QC with on the order of a few thousand qubits can perform calculations that even a known-universe-sized c

Ideally you'd want your RDBMS to refuse to compile tests like x = y in cases where either x or y could be null. You would have to explicitly handle nulls in boolean statements.

I love stories like this. By studying what happens to the brain when something goes wrong we gain a sliver of insight into how the brain works. In this case he was able to store memories but he could not retrieve them. When the cyst was dra

In Australia you get serviced apartments everywhere. They are basically apartments that get serviced (cleaned, new linen etc) regularly like hotel rooms. You get separate bedrooms, kitchen, etc. just like a normal residential apartment. Exa

Better experience than a hotel or serviced apartment? Good luck with that! Hotels and serviced apartments are literally designed from the ground up for a great customer experience. Some random person's house or apartment is just not go

You can do that anyway, and some people do in fact replace their controller chips with modified clones to boost performance. http://www.chipexpress.com/

99% of people don't need an SD slot. Everything is wireless now, why bother with cards or cables or whatever? You're an outlier, not a normal smartphone user. If you buy a new iPhone just get the 64GB.

Personal income tax is more restricted but still works in a similar way. For example if I need to purchase a high-vis work outfit in order to do my job, that expense is deductible.

by letstryagain 11y ago
Business expenses are tax deductible by default. They only change to non-deductible under special circumstances, for example if the company buys a fancy car for the CEO's personal use. But normally every expense incurred as the result

Amphetamines are definitely more effective than modafinil. But as you know, amphetamines are more addictive and the side effects are worse than modafinil. If it's something you want to take on a regular basis, most people are probably

So... 10 tapes per SSD if your data compresses well. I don't see that as practical at all.

If you call tails, I catch the coin and show it to you. If you call heads, I'll catch the coin and invert it before showing it.

by letstryagain 11y ago
Yep. To see this, consider a coin flipped into the air so that it's tilted 45 degrees with the floor and spinning only around the vertical axis. To a casual observer it will appear as if the coin is tumbling but in fact one side faces

Only one computer needs to be online for the sync to work. This is a good thing because your files never go to a third party. You don't have to trust Dropbox or anyone else with your data. Plop it on a couple of servers and you're

Undigested food does not stay in your intestines and neither does any toxins. Can you name any of the toxins?

You can tell which rocks are natural because of the flaws contained in them. The flaws in natural rocks can not be created using a synthetic process. Synthetic stones are flawless. Yes you can introduce flaws in synthetic stones but they do

No, I did not drink before or after starting SSRIs. I've also in the last few years experimented several times with reducing my SSRI dosage but my current level works best.

I've been taking SSRIs for more than a decade. In the last few years I've learned that they don't seem to work much better than placebos. That may be true but it does not matter. They work for me and the side effects are mini
