Other motivations exist when using deflationary currency other than hoarding. I don't believe btc deflation is bad. Fiat currency can also rise and fall 10% in a single day. Proble…

They'll fork it to unfreeze millions of funds. It's just funny how decentralized currency is so easily swayed by a few individuals to serve their purpose.

They'll fork it again. The language used is unsafe, and developers didn't test properly. What can be done? Fork I guess. Or maybe leave the developers developing on the Ethereum pl…

Yeah. The moment I heard of it I thought this would be the ultimate goal. But it turned out to be a value store for the first world. No longer is it electronic cash, more like elec…

Really? Could I see some examples? Most results I've seen are on fixed approximation algorithms not on heuristics.

One of the best public examples is LKH solver for travelling salesman. I'm not familiar with problems for which proving optimality of a solution to a specific problem instance is n…

What made me realize that P?=NP is not that important for practical issues is the unbelievable effectiveness of heuristics. They seem to get extremely close to the optimum than bes…

Commenter above me equated sugar with carbs, and hinted a government conspiracy theory of how its recommendation influenced people to overeat sugar and become sick.

Fiber has 0 calories, which implies people in the US in general barely eat fruit and vegetables. No one overdosed on fiber. It's quite silly to claim that 2000kcal of legume carboh…

Is he bashing vegetables and fruits? The average US citizen does not eat the recommended minimum amount for fiber. Is he bashing the 3500kcal diet of average US citizen or is he pu…

Just read it and after about 4 months my B needs extra presses to work. Jinxed myself.

75% is pretty standard in Europe. I've tried a couple of 99% cocoa chocolates too, but these are really for the hardcore lovers (gets glued to the teeth and other taste issues).

With unsafePerformIO you can do printf anywhere. There's also Debug.Trace.

Is it so hard to just put microchips that identify the owner into these animals? Just imagine how easy it would be to punish the citizens releasing animals into the wilderness if m…

Of course not. One of the reasons why this kind of industry popped out of no where is because these kinds of things are not regulated. If they were, targeted ads would be a much ha…

If European Union got the Nobel peace prize, then so can an organization behind LIGO experiments.

I wouldn't call it quackery. It's mad people doing proofs that sound good in their heads. Or sometimes naive people doing the same.

Can you perhaps point me to old concepts that are used in vuejs or react libraries like mobx? To me their approach seems absolutely brilliant, pushing even event handling to comple…

What's the best way to migrate from ExtJS (50k LOC codebase)? They had many excellent components, buffered lists, grouping in lists, tree panels etc. So many useful components. Is …
