Well, I just said that there's a huge amount of quality work done in those 800 studies. And what you suggested isn't at all uncommon in those quality work studies. Checkout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%

This is completely false. Scientific studies, controlled, on nutrition and health are going back at least 30 years, and in these 30 years you can find a huge amount of quality research and quality data. Problem is that no one looks at meta-

You could have easily added a BSD derivative license where one would be required to cite your paper or just your authorship if they've used the software. I've noticed this being a good way to maximize credit.

Nope, it's just bad software engineers. Africa has those pretty very battery friendly "smart phones" and they do everything that yours does, probably without the fancy games. I've been tweaking my Android tablet's c

I can't sound it out. I'm used to a phonemic orthography.

They programatically disallow that if you try.

Yep, I can't believe that they made John Langford and the team leave from YR, the best guys at scalable machine learning.

Stack is absolutely wonderful. stack setup command works wonders, building is effortless, moving to new library versions is as easy as ever and ever since I've started using it I've been writing more and more code in Haskell. Tool

For smaller towns this effect is negligible, and there are more smaller towns than big ones.

That doesn't seem to be a problem for the competition. Prices are the problem, and Uber is trying really hard to lower the prices and profit, that's why the algorithm IS most important. I really do not understand why almost everyo

What this means is that Uber doesn't have an efficient enough algorithm for ride sharing and they currently are giving us a solution that will optimize the routes upfront. This will give them enough competitive data to figure out the l

Benchmark showing that the composition is exactly the same in a for loop as unrolled functions would be nice.

I love how Facebook HR rejected one of my acquaintances and then after he asked "Why?", the recruiter sent an email that was something along these lines: "Ok, may I schedule a technical interview in a week?". Eventually

Consciousness and understanding are human created symbolism. Talking about it seriously is a waste of time. I could be an empty shell imitating a human perfectly, all other humans would buy my lack of consciousness, and nothing would be dif

Simulated annealing is simple. It's just the acceptance criterion of simulated annealing that you are using. You take the previous solution, and the current one, the difference of the cost (up or down) and plug it into the formula. Sim

I learned compilers this way and yes, it's extremely hard. Things got so high-level that I forgot what the real problem was and kept wondering why the algorithm I wrote isn't working.

There's a common reasoning mistake when it comes to reduction and conclusion of complexity class. You cannot say a problem is NP-complete if you reduced it to an NP-complete problem. The problem you know is NP-complete has to be reduce

Kids should learn problem solving skills. Math teachers of today are, unfortunately, quite different from those of yesterday. So, everyone believes they can do something more with programming.

Learning anything will result in a similar process. "Talent" gives you reasons ("wow, i'm good at this") to persist in learning, without it you either persist, or not.

Sorry, but I'll call you lazy. The guy who responded too mentioned the "network effect". I'm quite baffled by what is exactly the problem? What, you are afraid that your babysitters will decide to dump your platform beca

Of course they aren't the same, and all your statements are true, and "Uber for Food" also isn't the same, but the ultimate challenge will be the logistics problem (they admitted that their ultimate problem was logistics
