Transmeta Crusoe, it would be very useful today for running Docker containers built for different instruction sets without being as slow as QEMU. The performance penalty was only about 20% and the power efficiency was actually better than native x86.

This is a gnarly run. Almost 7000 ft of climbing (he gives the value in m, but all my reference points are in feet). It appears he was not auto-pausing, but did stop quite a bit. The time spent moving was 5:49. His pace, excluding the time stopped, was 11:12 min/mi. With the elevation gain, this is most definitely running.

The owner must be present during home-sharing, so each property owner should be limited to sharing one property at a time. Since the properties must be licensed, it should be easy to shut down the multiple-property Airbnb landlords.
What this might enable is "sharing" a huge property, say an apartment complex, essentially opening up a new class of low- or no-amenity hotels.

| I don't know a good introductory book, unfortunately.
I liked Eric Schechter's Classical and Non-Classical Logics for an eye-opening view into how logical systems are constructed from axioms. Might be a satisfying read for OP, as well.
Meritocracy is the software engineer’s delusion.

This is an important lesson, but I was hoping for an implementation of stopping rules. If you're looking to actually stop your N-armed bandit trials properly, look at the S+ package SeqTrial. It implements the stopping rule framework described in KittelsonEmerson99 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11315020).

I installed a full application to do this the last time I needed annotated screenshots that didn't look like they were made by a child. I used Jing fwiw.

Thanks sir! And never underestimate the value of the little cantrips like that to somebody who isn't aware of them. I was astounded that most people didn't know CTRL+F, and I always ask people if they know about it.(http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/08/crazy-...)
Re:Show HN: Script Excel with Python

This isn't necessary, you can have access to the full Excel COM API, with tab-completion, backwards-compatibility etc, for free with iPython and the makepy.py script.

Though I admit scripting Excel from Python should be easier to setup than it is.
