Not a troll. The post's point was that for your average web app, NodeJS doesn't solve any problems. If you were building some kind of real time app like the Facebook social stream, then yes, it may make sense. But for…
MySQL gives RDBMS a bad name? What planet do you live on? And how/why the heck would you write a web server in PHP when it was made to run embedded in a web server process? Yes, I'm sure you could twist and mangle PHP…
Good point. If Arrington and co are that blatantly corrupt out in the open, who'd want anything to do with them when the doors are closed?
You could claim the same about getting high off of glue since that affects the mind too. Seriously, what every day experience /doesn't/ affect your mind? My point stands on its own. Taking action makes a difference,…
Nowhere did I say I support the war on drugs, prohibition, or any such rubbish. You are free to engage in whatever stupid activity you so choose. Just don't try to claim it was some kind of fulfilling accomplishment,…
Flawless logic here. I guess I should try crack, heroine, or maybe downing some motor oil before coming to the conclusion they're not for me?
I have no issue with whatever it is you posited after your masturbatory experience. It's just that I don't find your epiphany particularly deep, nor do I see how LSD was even necessary for you to arrive at your…
Instead of doing drugs to experience "enlightenment" (LOL), you could, I don't know... read a book and actually learn something of value.
How is that enlightening? The doc makes you sound like an imbecile.
Are you stupid? Zynga's not a young company at more than 4 years. And this is horribly detrimental for any prospect of IPO.
Same here. I'm thinking ML since it will have programming exercises. I'd likely forget all of the theory otherwise.
The course has some introductory Linear Algebra videos posted. I don't think you'd be able to understand multiple regression without some basic knowledge of linear algebra.
Excellent, many thanks. I've read O'Reilly's Collective Intelligence. It's a great introductory survey, but it was very light on theory. I also own Collective Intelligence in Action. It had more explanation of theory…
And on that note, does anyone have any other good book suggestions regarding ML?
Great book. But I made the mistake of buying this book on Kindle just a few hours before I saw it show up here. :(
Nope. What I said is still true. Here is my code in Java: public List<Integer> mergeSort(List<Integer> list) { // Base case // If list has one (or less) element, return list as is int size = list.size();…
The article is not "gobbledygook". A well known limitation of NodeJS is its lack of support for parallelism. You have to try to take advantage of parallelism of the OS itself by pre-forking the Node server. NodeJS is…
It /might/ be faster? What? Do you fully understand the invariant of the algorithm? The left should always be less than the right partition. There's no need to re-merge them each call. As it is, you are always comparing…
Good thing TechCrunch isn't worth reading anymore, or I'd actually be upset.
The recursive merge sort is not quite correct: function mergeSort(items){ if (items.length == 1) { return items; } var middle = Math.floor(items.length / 2), left = items.slice(0, middle), right = items.slice(middle);…
Let me clarify: competing ARM processors :) Chances are it's not an Intel CPU you're using in your smart phone, tablet, or game console.
Not if ARM processors continue to gain ground.
And by technology company I mean: Hardware (Apple, Amazon) OS (Apple, Google) Cloud services (Google, Amazon, Apple) Web services like email, maps, search (Google) Facebook has a very large user base. Whoopee. But does…
Facebook lasting a hundred years? WHAT?! I hardly see Facebook as being in the same league as technology companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon. In fact, I don't really see Facebook as much of a technology company at…
And yet no one addressed my point. Vote me down, druggies.
