Or if you are like me (and a bit stupid): 1000 = all possible combinations from 000 to 999. less 10 combinations with all numbers identical is 990. now there are three patterns for numbers to be identical left that need to be taken out: 00x

So many charts and such a boring conclusion. Why is the male attractiveness axis flipped in that big blue box? Why is it not mentioned that the turquoise area stretches only on one axis and not the other? Does that mean that super attractiv

Thats how it should be I suppose, but can't be taken for granted everywhere.

How is a graph database built under the hood? I know that a decent RDBMS (simplified) will consist of the following: - data in blocks organised with a block-size that the underlying filesystem likes - a cache for the most frequently used bl

Hi, TUM has a lecture for this in which the students build a database in C and learning fundamentals along the way. I attended a few years back and learnt an awful lot, this is the course page: https://db.in.tum.de/teaching&

Are Barcelona and Madrid meant to be overvalued? I live in London and am considering to buy a house in Spain in 5 years time or so and the prices look pretty good in the countryside. I had a look at city centre properties too and compared t

Could you elaborate on news & NLP in regards to stocks? We tried sentiment analysis in uni a few years ago and had no good results: The idea was essentially: news says: 'stock A is great' -> it goes up shortly thereafter We

This is the best thing I read for ages. I work with legacy systems all the time, lately mostly CRUD web apps, but I have debugged myself through pages of Excel macros, database drivers in enterprise systems and some code that was almost as

Pardon my ignorance, but I don't even understand his point. I wouldn't even have bothered with a class at that level of abstraction. If I find repeating if statements throughout my code I put them in a method, end of story. Pseudo

I always love it when people use git & github for more than code in the way you just demonstrated. I only just started organising some of my non-technical writings in a repository and can already see the benefits.

That part struck me as well, but I guess hindsight is 20/20 and they learned their lesson. When I did my very first project when I was 18 I spent money on a lawyer and incorporation before we made any sales, of course the project tanke

Fantastic puzzle. Took me ages to realise the twist though, because I was somehow set on making them oscillate further on every iteration and couldn't understand how I was to remember how far I went without a stack. Basically what I wa

But you can just implement them(the early versions) on any old server with a nice database installed if you want to. And you can do that in a weekend. And yes of course you will want to take a step back and change almost everything about it

Hang on, I _could_ write a (small) twitter or (early) fb clone in a weekend. Easily. That would probably scale to 10k tweets or feed entries. What I in _no_ way could do is rewrite fb or twitter at the scale these systems operate today with

Thanks. Just for your example, do they only get their commission after the client has paid? Just general curiosity as I am technical and I have no idea how their models work. The three things that I am familiar with are: 1) I give you a sma

How much commission is typical for sales people? Is it a percentage of the amount the deal is closed for? Is it a percentage of the customer LTV?

How does this tie in with the H1B situation in the US? That means these companies are willing to try, but that only gives you a 50/50 chance for the H1B, as everywhere else, right?
