Not a recommender system or anything that intelligent. This is basically a keyword search of the paper titles. Even something as simple as term-frequence analysis would place the two papers far apart.


JS developer. It's a fairly low-skill job, taught widely, and demand for it far exceeds anything else related to PC support.


Every time I see those things, I can't hold back laughter.


They're pretty funny-looking :)

I think the toed socks are definitely very weird-looking, especially when they come in white, looks like a some sort of fetish gear.


It's called "treeshaking", and is a classic option in Lisp delivery tools.


Or virtual image pruning in Smalltalk tools.


That's the default emacs color scheme. The terminal is just SLIME.

thank you!


Star Trek, Deep Space 9.

Odo is a shape-shifting being who is removed from his home planet. But we don't find that out til the 3rd season.


On the other hand, making citizenships "sticky" can dissuade people from some crimes BECAUSE they're citizens.

In the war of terrorism, U.S-citizens caught fighting for Al-Qaeda/ISIS are tried for treason (potentially carrying a death penalty) while foreign fighters could be afforded the luxury of the Geneva Convention rights.

And yes, I am a naturalized US citizen.


I think those in Guantanamo might care to disagree that they were afforded the luxury of the Geneva convention.


They're enjoying the luxury of our ridiculous ... softness? Good will isn't quite it, internecine political warfare for sure. The people imprisoned there were unlawful combatants, and to among other things strongly encourage lawful combat, they enjoy no protection, they can, for example, be immediately executed.


I don’t think if you were imprisoned there that you would think it was soft.

Many of those picked up were fighting for the government of Afghanistan at the time so they should have been considered lawful combatants. The whole reason they were put in Guantanamo at the time was to keep them out of the reach of the Geneva convention.

I am hardly a support of islam or any of the cranks and criminals doing acts of terror - my opposition to what was and is still being done to Guantanamo is it totally counterproductive. It is the equivalent to a take no prisoners policy in war. If you want to bolster the enemy make surrender equal death and watch while every battle becomes a fight to the last man.


She brings back the child-like wonder and joy of early "tuts" of hackerdom. The old "asciiz" were tutorials written by people who both _enjoyed_ programming, and found it mischievous.


FYI: None of the music heard in that video is "dubstep".


That's still not how recursion works.

They would be mutually recursive if Fallout's was a reference to Dune, and Dune's a reference to Fallout.

This is just a simple reference, perhaps indirect, but not recursion.


founder chiming in: company name is a reference to Herbert's Dune. Been a huge fan forever and think the concept of flipping artificial intelligence towards giving humans computing power is super cool.
