Reminds me a lot of StumbleUpon, which coincidentally, just shut down this year (June 30 2018).

I think GitLab has been around a lot longer than MetaMask, so probably the other way around if anything.

How is it that inverse seems to be used as "multiplicative inverse" in this context? It seems like a really ambiguous term, because it could also be interpreted as either: inverse …

As a consequence, are people that have had children found to have higher incidences of Alzheimer's?

Do you have any hints on how one might implement this on mac OS? I'd love to have my keyboard configured like this...

According to a BBC article I just read the other day, conventional wisdom might be changing on that. "It is time to reconsider the widespread advice that people should always compl…

Wait, isn't that the entire point of high-frequency trading and their low-latency access to markets?

I don't know about other places, but on the highway in Michigan near construction sites they sometimes have signs saying something like "If you injure a worker, it's a $5000 fine a…

FYI, that last line says "patents", not "patients".

The call for larger sample sizes isn't always appropriate. It can often lead to spurious inferences. As Jacob Cohen (famous statistician) has said, "all null hypotheses, at least i…

I'm finishing my PhD, and starting a post-doc in the fall. I had wanted to break out into industry, because I didn't see myself in academia in the long term, but I didn't get anywh…

I think research funding in general could take some cues from the Y Combinator funding model, in the sense that if you give smart people money and time, they'll discover/create ama…

Is that supposed to be a trick question? I can't tell if the answer is n(n-1)/2 or just n(n-1), because I'm unsure whether you would be looking to count a "bidirectional TCP connec…

Don't forget battery life.

Thanks for the explanation, closures have been a little tricky for me to wrap my head around. I'm confused a little with regards to the closure closing over the "value" of free var…

Say I use my Macbook for development, and I compile a small toy C program using gcc. Does that mean now that I cannot run the produced binary by default? Forgive me for being naive…

My response was designed to highlight the equally offensive suggestion that "all the Indians" were metric geniuses, while American students were all slow and ignorant of the metric…

Maybe the Americans were busy incorporating the delay due to the finite speed of sound.

I think this highlights inherent flaws in the governing body approach to web development standards. I mean, if all the major browsers have it implemented already, why not remove th…

Replace Flash with IE6 and I think you'll get a clearer understanding of where people are coming from.

In order for the MPAA/RIAA claim that copyright infringement causes large monetary damages to ring true, we must see profits increase in these industries. If profits do not increas…
