Viewing profile — heterogenic

So... Tearing down a straw man then. You could've just said "yes". (The operative part of that reply was "hours after it was amended". Your rant, and 90% of the other replies on th…

I was under the impression that amending > editing if the text in question had been discussed or quoted. In the (extremely) unlikely event that I post here again, I'll be sure to s…

And your reason for posting this pedantic diatribe hours after the original post was corrected to "objectified female bodies" is... What? To revel in a pedantic takedown of a straw…

If muscular men were dramatically underrepresented in STEM careers, and particularly EE, then I would have a problem with that. If you really want to pursue this line of thinking, …

I assume you're not serious... But maybe you're not seeing the same images as everyone else. Most of us see these on his page: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/bchafy/test_rgb/testrgb.j…

Aaaaand... That makes it appropriate how?

Honestly, the fact that all his "demo" screens are filled with porn, on a university page, is almost as interesting (in a sociological sense) as the actual clever image multiplexin…

Evidence of what? You can see the admissions essay requirements on the linked page.

It's interesting that one of the only Ivy programs which is essentially immune to this gaming of the system is Harvard Business School, which allows only one semi-optional free-for…

3 significant failures, one of them big. My conclusion is that for a multitude of reasons (most of which are well known) having involved investors reduces my chances of success con…

The happiest moment of my entrepreneurial life was after my second exit, when I realized that I could self-fund/bootstrap my next venture comfortably and never deal with a VC again…

Aaaand, that's one more op system I can look forward to replacing with Redis. Totally off-topic, but I have such a fangirl crush on Salvatore Sanfilippo... Every time he posts I ge…

Not necessarily. You're assuming that the factors which drive women out of engineering do so independent of ability. I would hypothesize that this is false, that the most intereste…

I can verify that, when inebriated, I am a terrible judge of character, and trust many people I shouldn't (even when my friends try to warn me off)... The number of times I've gone…

I'd love to see a comparison among the same sample set between Java8 & Scala as the next environment they're likely to use. Scala has been "the next big thing" for a while now, but…

Doesn't make it not true.

Ready, player one?

Not it, but it does about the same thing. Thanks!

As we move intelligence to the client, we're starting to use a lot of data queries which were never meant for the wire. (Particularly in IT applications.) Having a way to filter in…

Help me out here HN... I remember somewhere seeing an API format where you passed up the empty JSON object which you wanted filled and returned. Something like: (request) {username…

I was so ready to be frustrated at yet another creepy/misogynistic PUA article, but this is really not that bad. Lines like: > He's found results by giving girls genuine compliment…

How about just "because disregarding/discouraging half of our potential talent means half the geniuses, half the coding buddies and work friends, half the workhorses and half the i…
