DARPA has been thinking about this: https://www.darpa.mil/attachments/AISS_ProposersDay_LeefSlid... (aside: fascinating example of a US military slide deck, like a 90s fever dream …

Yeah that's a great point, the data really makes you pause and say "is this worth the cost?" The other wearable that has had an extreme impact on my lifestyle has been a Dexcom CGM…

In terms of wearables, it's quite unobtrusive because it's literally just a ring. There is no display to become distracted with. The inside of the ring will glow when it's taking m…

Sharing my own anecdata: my Oura ring shows that on days I drink, RHR is 10bpm higher and HRV about 15ms lower. Exercise has a huge impact on sleep quality too. My theory is that w…

I don't get to exercise my dusty algorithms knowledge nearly enough to follow this nearly as well as I'd like. Are we talking about the bin packing problem and approximation ratios…

Slightly younger old-timer here: I feel I've gone on the full spectrum on .emacs files and keybindings, at least for emacs versions commensurate with my own vintage. In the early 2…

This is approximately one of the opening ideas in the Commonwealth Saga by Peter Hamilton. Highly recommended!

I did something similar for emacs here: https://twitter.com/hagmonk/status/1338965551775764481 and got similar looking improvements. I also benchmarked Leiningen startup times: htt…

Not going to help you in this case; Kubernetes does not log an OOMKilled event. Issue tracking this has been open for some time: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/696…

In my mind, a media organization censoring a story that could aid Trump just days before the election is acting for the greater social good. I don't feel that optimizing for Greenw…

DEBORDEMENT DE PILE

I ordered two of them (one by accident, LOL) two months ago. Haven’t heard anything since. No order updates. Emails to their sales team have gone unanswered. Not sure if my case is…

And now, Pipes can be mobilized and viewed on any mobile phone using SMS and WAP! Simply get the RSS feed of the Pipe and mobilize it using the 411Sync Mobile API. Within seconds, …

Surprised to see no mention of Apache NiFi, Quartz Composer, or Simulink: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_NiFi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_Composer https://en.wikiped…

I'm not offended in the slightest. Except by your misuse of the apostrophe. I agree that nobody was hurt in "it is making." Note that this is my idea of fun, and you don't have to …

The project banner depicting a damsel in distress on the railway tracks is going to make some people twitch. I'd avoid that distraction by picking something gender neutral. My 2c.

Why didn't the OP turn on two step verification? Amazon does support this.

This is perceptive. As a society we must tolerate a diversity of opinions. Everything must be open to question and debate. But after questioning and debate, there must be a final d…

"announced the acceptance by the journal Theoretical Computer Science of a more efficient algorithm for pancake sorting than the one proposed by Bill Gates and Christos Papadimitri…

I kind of love the idea that it's an optimization because the universe would have a shitty frame rate if light's quantum state wasn't lazily evaluated based on whether anyone's vie…

I wholeheartedly agree with the need to make cultural fit bigger than just "happy hour" fit, but primarily on moral grounds. I haven't seen strong data to make a technical case her…

Yes, @dreamcatcher is misinterpreting my sentiment, or I was not clear in communicating it. I absolutely do not support any racial stereotypes of Indians or anyone else - my point …

The article comes across as whiny because he's a New Zealander. So cut the guy some slack, he can't help it :) As an Australian working for a large tech company, I totally feel thi…
