As well as many of the key innovations for OLEDs (patents they later sold to LG)

I like Vega-Lite: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/ It’s built by folks from the same lab as D3, but designed as “a higher-level visual specification language on top of D3” [ https…

They do mention covariates in section 6.1 - specifically how this method doesn’t support them but ideas on how they could in the future such as via stacking: > In this work, we hav…

Thanks for this! I've been going crazy for months that Twitter threads and replies are totally broken if you are logged out (which I always am since deleting my account in December…

Lots of great suggestions here, but one I haven't seen is providing deep links. Let users share the exact state of their dashboard with others, ideally without requiring some convo…

Do you worry that you risk introducing bias into your interview process with this sort of unstructured questioning? There is quite a bit of research [1] demonstrating that structur…

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot sometime and share whatever I figure out

When I looked into it a couple years ago, it was possible to configure nbdev to use e.g. GitLab instead of GitHub for those of us who can't use GitHub for whatever reason. Is this …

Agreed. I would use latex for everything but I need to work with collaborators who are only used to writing in Word with track changes. Something that would allow me to write in la…

Creator of GBD Compare here, funny to see it on HN! Worlds collide.

I think this is actually a benefit for consumers, but this just seems like an invitation to an antitrust suit.

I wonder how Nvidia building their own machines goes over with the many, many third party partners building similar rigs. On the Supercomputing 2014 showroom floor it seemed like h…
