    I found it striking how similar the system that I have settled into is to yours, and also the similarity of the benefits that you ascribed to it. I love having my /home/name/tmp fo…

    I applied a technique for quickly finding exact k nearest neighbors or nearest neighbors in a specific hamming distance using research[0] which includes a library + source code. Th…

    This makes me wonder what those two holes in the shroud of USB A style connectors are for. After a bit of googling it looks as if they are to provide a bit of tension against remov…

    I wrote a MCTS Ultimate tic-tac-toe engine[0] over the last little while, and likewise don't know how to play the game well. Once thing I have been mulling over in my mind but have…

    As well as Skylake CPUs now. Check in the "TSX-NI" table entry. http://ark.intel.com/products/88191/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-Proc...

    I agree with you that these particles should be studied for their potential health and environmental impact, but combustion has been around much longer than humanity. I think that …

    I didn't read the article, and I'm no chemist, but I wouldn't be surprised if combustion produces carbon nanotubes. Buckyballs were discovered to be present in candle soot.

    I wondered the same; it takes two hyperlinks to get to the project's home page where they have a larger version. http://web.media.mit.edu/~hangzhao/modulo.html

    The liquid in a heat pipe can return to the hot end through capillary action, and I believe this is how heat pipes in computer equipment work. They can work in any orientation. htt…

    Yes, it would be, but interestingly I didn't interpret it that way. I'm not sure what the author intended but while reading I imagined malware using this technique for obfuscation,…

    Well this datastructure lets us find the k nearest neighbors in Hamming space (think binary vectors in binary vector space) quickly. If we can map features (for simplicity lets thi…

    I used this paper and associated code in my undergraduate thesis. After decoupling the C++ code from MATLAB I was able to make it into a library and use it to search binary feature…

    Actually, I really enjoy using Groovy as a Java REPL, when having to use Java. Your code is run in a Script class Most java code is valid Groovy code and it has some nice dynamic f…
