Re:The Cost of Scalability in Graph Processing on Saturday January 17, 2015 @10:21AM (#8904461)
So you are saying a naive implementation on a single core is showing that people are prematurely scaling graph processing?

Go with GS.

Microsoft/Google will have you drinking Kool-Aid and you'll be pushing their shit.

If you go into GS you will learn a lot more about finance and that's important, you can take that knowledge and move to a corporation that uses a better language like Haskell or Ocaml, or find some open minded people who will let you use a better language inside GS.

At Microsoft/Google you are stuck with .Net/C++ or something like Go which was designed by an idiot who forgot about incremental compilation. Also they are offering you less, so they can go fuck themselves.

can anyone remember the link for a site that showed how it would make parens long enough (horizontally) to cover each part of a definition?

funny is what you make it. absurd, depressing, uplifting, idiotic.

I consider this the best comedy on the planet: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2396224/

I also like the stuff by this guy brad neely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WCiBPjckTg

don't let other people tell you what's funny or you'll be watching carlos mencia and everybody loves raymond.

Re:Problems with the Golang runtime and toolchain on Tuesday December 30, 2014 @03:29PM (#8816563)
It's fast because of dependency analysis. They forgot about something called incremental compilation.

This is what they should have spent their 20% on: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/IncrementalCompiler

Re:The Synapse Memory Doctrine Threatened? on Sunday December 28, 2014 @07:29PM (#8808033)
I think that gasnet neural networks that took into account the locally inhibitive? impact of nitrous oxide are far superior to traditional ANN. But I just read that recently, so maybe misunderstood that.

How will this impact research into artificial neural nets?

Please don't have an opinion when posting on StackExchange. Democracy and committees are what make America great and why we chose XML over S-Expressions.
Re:Rr 3.0 Released with x86-64 Support on Thursday December 11, 2014 @10:50AM (#8735391)
How does this compare to reversible debugging in GDB? I guess it addresses the increased overhead (some say 1000x) that UndoDB tries to fix.

Re:Ask HN: Do you code to binaural beats? on Tuesday December 09, 2014 @04:17PM (#8725818)
Well if I'm going by the youtube binaural beats I might as well buy crystals and magnetic bands for my wrists.

Is there a .edu with a binaural beats mp3?

Re:Ask HN: Do you code to binaural beats? on Tuesday December 09, 2014 @01:40PM (#8724699)
Could you recommend a pdf or mp3 specifically? I'm really looking for an mp3 to put on repeat.

Ask HN: Do you code to binaural beats?

Are they bullshit or what? I have been looking for scholarly papers and anything repeatable. If I can trigger the placebo effect it looks like I should be buying some crystals to go with my monitor.

I'm certainly not the author, I'm just desperate to see more people working on something to compete with Elm! I've just never been a fan of Haskell syntax :(
