As far as I see authors haven't decided to publish their implementation of the algorithm. That's a real pity given the fact that it's a really useful one.

I wouldn't say Java has this problem. Look at Maven for instance. Then look back at Crates, you will notice how many common solutions they share.

On the other hand I see that Crates solves the problem of dependency when 2 different version of the same library are used across the project. Maven doesn't solve that and it's painful. However this seems a bigger problem that just a package manager I suppose.

If you're successful person, you can already give a damn about what others think. When you're not that succesful, maybe it matters then.

Of course I know it. The soudtrack is simply amazing. What I dodn't know until now is that there is quite a lot of doom covers on youtube!

This is just amazing. And what is more suprising is that Doom 1 and 2 are still thriving after >20 years. If you download zandronum you will learn that there are still people playing it online. of course those are some mods, but still very much resembling the original atmosphere and graphics of doom 1 and 2.

Edit: of course this probably would be different if the doom source code wasn't released at some point of time...

Probably also through some grid search. I've read (but not rememeber where) that Random Search gives very good results, even better than grid (in less time).

The difference here is that when you read the title you think: "wow, scala features allows solving interesting problems in few steps, let's see". And the you realize that it's a cheat. This code is literaly squeezed into those 4 lines, full of less common idioms, and quite obscure.

It should be called "0,5kb scala contest" than "solving x with scala", to avoid misunderstanding.

It's rather "steal the message after decrypted" scenario, rather than cracking the implementation.

In case of Android what you only need is that your application can read notifications (and has notifications/accessibility permissions). E.g. all whatsapp messages go through it...

I hope you haven't voted this article then. Let's keep it secret ;)

Spot on!

However I worry that if projects such as this or mps-youtube (console youtube player) get mainstream, they would be effectively shut down in some way...

So.. no HTTPS for them?

But the general question is this: would companies rather exit from such country and protect some values, or provide a non-encrypted version of their services to secure their userbase?

Cool website, for off the shelf models. For anything more advanced you should be careful, as modeling real world scenarios is rarely so abstract and mamy times you need to make some scenario-specific tradeoffs during the modeling phase to fulfill your requirements.

Do you also have this feeling when you use some web page, and the someone decides to do UI refurbish, that many times, it will look better but the feeling when you actually use it become worse? I'm not talking about simply becoming used to the old, and resisting new. It's rather that many times in the first version of the UI, many things become clear once you see it, but making it more aesthetic means many times to hide or obscure some otherwise natural or common actions.

I wonder if such result might be a result of some methodological error (not representative sample, some metric calculations biases, click frauds, etc). Otherwise this is rather sad article :(

I'm watching closely Apache Flink recently and it seems to me that it's more universal that Apache Spark, and with less overhead. Today if somebody asked me for general purpose stream processor engine I would recommend Flink. Of course Spark has many advantages too, but unless you don't need explicitly need Spark's RDD, then go for Flink.

What I'm still missing is better support for machine learning libraries, but I suppose it's a matter of time.

I know that "choosing colors" is everything but simple task, but after reading this article I believe I could do it if I had to (e.g. for personal page, or some low budget, nothing-serious-thing). But don't get too comfortable. For something more serious you need a designer. And also you need pay him to get something good.

Cool experiment!

BNtw. is there any similarity measure that can be calculated with less complexity? (e.g. without the need to compare every pair of comments?)

How does it compare to other browsers? Does Chrome, Opera or IE/Edge use similar (or better) techniques?

Very cool indeed. I wonder if it permits incremental model generation, so that i could be usable for classifying new data and new topics?

Let's remind the famous quote from Jamie Zawinski: "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems."

I was neglecting this quote for a long time, until I started using regular expressions in real projects...

Does anybody know what is the state of unums? That thing pop up on HN every now and then, but I still can't see it in practice. It is definitely something promising. Is there any development going on to employ this theory in practice?

In the same way as you upgrade library you can just upgrade your software...

Spot on. I was always puzzled why some software just can't come statically compiled. I suppose not all apps can be distributed like that, but most of them can.

I can't even remember how many hours I wasted on trying to compile a new version of some program, just to learn the infinite tree of dependencies, newer versions of existing libraries required, build prefixes tweaking etc... Most of that time could have been saved.

I'ts funny with WebRTC, because I rememeber when the same could be accomplish with Java applets (Java ignored any proxy settings, which allowed to deanonynimize people on the internet, e.g. it no longer mattered if you were behind TOR if you had Java enabled). I think it was considered security bug and was patched later. Seems that WebRTC people are not so security-wise I suppose...

It's a joke, but it really works :)

This has been known for some time (and proven with some good examples) but still is a shock to people who believed somewhere in '90 that the next stage in the economy is the shift to services instead of industry.

I recommend this book from Ha-Joon Chang that has a nice chapter on that (a very pleasant read with references): http://www.amazon.com/Things-They-Dont-About-Capitalism/dp/1...

Aaargh, one has to be careful with the news today...

This is scary. Although we believe that an intelligent person would probably distinguish most social media manipulations, I think that we fall into the trap of deceptions more than we think we do. I wonder if there is some sort of study on how often significan social media manipulations occure in elections on the west.
