No offense, but that is really handwavy. In what way does constructive mathematics unlock the door to being closer to all the quantum shit?

Please stop with Dunning-Kruger already.

A more Pythonic way do to this would be

    id_to_name = {g['id']: g['name'] for g in list_of_genres}

And

    for i in range(len(list_of_genres))

is really a dangerous antipattern better replaced with

    for genre in list_of_genres:

This is a fallacy of interpretation (translating verbal representations of events into mental representations of events), not of probabilistic reasoning.

The crux I think is that when

A. bank teller

is juxtaposed with

B. bank teller and feminist,

we vaguely and falsely interpret A as "bank teller and not feminist", while the correct explicit interpretation is "bank teller and possibly feminist, but possibly not".

I needed those paragraphs about YouTube and Twitch, thank you

Thank you! In your experience, where approximately is the cutoff 'small/big company' for the purposes of getting an H1B sponsored?

Any dynamic programming algorithm.

Heap sort using an array impressed me as an undergrad.

FFT continues to amaze me as a scientific programmer.

On a serious note, here's a cool story about Apple's emoji:

This just in:

Apple has released a new version of its forthcoming bagel emoji. Now including cream-cheese, this aims to address concerns raised about the previous design.

Being bored makes us open HN and read articles about being bored…

I do, thank you so much!

Are you here to see what condition your condition was in?

Thank you!

Right, how do you build a website that looks like the OP as opposed to like that: http://math.mit.edu/~etingof/

(Not that it's a bad website, it's the most common format in the academia, just an example of a plain HTML website)

How do you build a simple beautiful website like this?

Thank you, this is incredibly useful (and motivating)!

This is the best I've seen, and I've seen a lot:

To summarize, the author started with brushing up on network programming and ended with submitting patches to OpenBSD. Cool.

Their grad math program is pretty good.

Trips up Vim's syntax highlighter.

Why does a CPU have to run?

EDIT:

> If the hardware doesn't make allowance for this, then the CPU will have to run useless instructions until it is needed for real work.

Do any consumer processors (think Intel iBlah) not support turning off the CPU when it's not needed?

It's a toy novel that sure does put you through a cool psychological experience.

But there's no additional depth to it, I see it as a horrors-of-bureacracy/system-vs-individual-themed amusement park attraction.

I've read The Trial and couldn't help but think that Kafka is overrated.

The key is that there is a high barrier to entry.

Maybe add 'NY' in the title to clarify which MTA?

Thank you, your description sounds like what I'm looking for.

Thank you!
