I searched on mobile, so no ad blocker. There were no ads for that query, and all of the content up to maybe the 5th result was an acceptable answer to the query (i.e. on a site that wasn't plastered with ads) If I search "plumber

Searching "how to fix a leaky faucet" on Google turned up the page from "This Old House" immediately (top 3 results, top 2 were wikiHow and a YouTube video that seemed OK at a glance). I'm not sure why my personal r

I would probably argue that either the first algorithm is incorrect (because searched can be larger than INT_MAX) or the complexity of the second algorithm is bound both by O(searched) (or sqrt(searched), if implemented with more vigour) an

Almost all of that blog post was complete bullshit. Recursive neural net? I don't understand why that post was written.

Saying 99/100 doctors think something medical is true isn't an appeal to authority... Doctors /are/ an authority on medical matters. Programmers aren't an authority on economic matters.

I don't know. That seemed like a fairly simple exploration of the problem and an easy library function to solve it. Would it be much simpler in any other language?

If that 95% assumes that people undergo background checks, my assumption is that number might decrease.

Depends how you look at it. Dev time is a finite resource, and spending it on supporting a weird combo of user agent and browser seems likely to lead to less user utility.

> Is rampant systemic sexism the reason why 95% of child care teachers are women? Yes, absolutely. Men are generally treated very poorly if they choose to voluntarily work with small children.

You're usually on-call for a fairly humane shift, not 24h a day.

I'm always amused that "know" seems to instantly associate with "memorise" as opposed to "be aware of performance and associated tradeoffs"

I think there's a clear difference between an ad that plays sound as part of watching a video with sound, and as part of browsing a website that doesn't have sound / where the ad plays sound over the actual content.

> Indeed, if women were systematically underpaid despite equivalent performance, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't be hired by the boatload. This might be explained by (1) a lack of women relative to men in the developer workf

They're not comparable disciplines. One (in theory) involves trivially replicable experiments (just rerun the binary) and the other does not.

I don't think your claim that it doesn't affect the vast majority of users is correct. There's well over a billion people in India alone. You might argue that you were only making claims about US users, but a lot of sites hav

I experimented with gensim's implementation of doc2vec this year; despite not being able to achieve similar results in sentiment analysis (because unshuffled datasets in the original paper) it's still really impressive. I analysed

> But it doesn't give one when the cast is in a loop condition. That is weird. I believe that the justification for that is that you'll often want to do e.g. while (node) { node.val += 3; node = node->next;
