Reminds me a lot of StumbleUpon, which coincidentally, just shut down this year (June 30 2018).

I think GitLab has been around a lot longer than MetaMask, so probably the other way around if anything.

How is it that inverse seems to be used as "multiplicative inverse" in this context? It seems like a really ambiguous term, because it could also be interpreted as either: inverse of the square root (which is just the squaring ope

Do you have any hints on how one might implement this on mac OS? I'd love to have my keyboard configured like this...

According to a BBC article I just read the other day, conventional wisdom might be changing on that. "It is time to reconsider the widespread advice that people should always complete an entire course of antibiotics, experts in the BMJ

Wait, isn't that the entire point of high-frequency trading and their low-latency access to markets?

I don't know about other places, but on the highway in Michigan near construction sites they sometimes have signs saying something like "If you injure a worker, it's a $5000 fine and up to 25 years in jail". Note the precedence of the $5000

FYI, that last line says "patents", not "patients".

The call for larger sample sizes isn't always appropriate. It can often lead to spurious inferences. As Jacob Cohen (famous statistician) has said, "all null hypotheses, at least in the two tailed forms, are false". That is, with nearly any

I'm finishing my PhD, and starting a post-doc in the fall. I had wanted to break out into industry, because I didn't see myself in academia in the long term, but I didn't get anywhere with job applications, so here I am. I have a few questi

What an amazingly complex game it would be if he decided to include relativistic effects of time-dilation.

I don't understand that distinction. In selecting a typeface, you're also necessarily selecting the font, so why make the distinction? From an artistic and technical point of view I get it, but from a user perspective the two are not separa

I think research funding in general could take some cues from the Y Combinator funding model, in the sense that if you give smart people money and time, they'll discover/create amazing things. You would think the value and return you get fr

Is that supposed to be a trick question? I can't tell if the answer is n(n-1)/2 or just n(n-1), because I'm unsure whether you would be looking to count a "bidirectional TCP connection" as 1 or 2 TCP connections...

Thanks for the explanation, closures have been a little tricky for me to wrap my head around. I'm confused a little with regards to the closure closing over the "value" of free variables, or the reference. For example, in python: i =

Say I use my Macbook for development, and I compile a small toy C program using gcc. Does that mean now that I cannot run the produced binary by default? Forgive me for being naive, but what does "app" mean in this context? Is a shell scrip

My response was designed to highlight the equally offensive suggestion that "all the Indians" were metric geniuses, while American students were all slow and ignorant of the metric system.

Maybe the Americans were busy incorporating the delay due to the finite speed of sound.

I think this highlights inherent flaws in the governing body approach to web development standards. I mean, if all the major browsers have it implemented already, why not remove the prefix? In fact, why have the prefix at all? If a feature

Replace Flash with IE6 and I think you'll get a clearer understanding of where people are coming from.

In order for the MPAA/RIAA claim that copyright infringement causes large monetary damages to ring true, we must see profits increase in these industries. If profits do not increase, then Megaupload did not impact profits.

I'm not exactly sure how it did this, but my old Nokia 5800 used to sound alarms, even when the phone was turned off. The device would power on somehow, alarm would go off, you would silence it, and the device would be off again.
