Cool! I had been thinking about trying this as well, after reading about the idea in one of Cosma Shalizi's notebooks [0]. I'd love to see how something like this performs when "trained" on a corpus the size of the web…
Worth noting that the release announcement was written by Eli Bendersky, of https://eli.thegreenplace.net/ fame. It's a fantastic technical blog with literally decades of content.
The authors of these slides also wrote a well-regarded textbook, Engineering a Compiler.
I use Baobab on Linux. It appears to support MacOS as well. https://apps.gnome.org/app/org.gnome.baobab/
About once a year I see a cool new programming font and decide to try it out. Then, shortly after, I invariably switch back to DejaVu Sans Mono. I suspect that if I gave myself more time to acclimatize to the new font,…
I knew what this was going to be as soon as I saw "aux.h" in the screenshot. Some years ago I was working on an embedded system that involved DisplayPort. For those unaware, DP's control channel is called AUX. One day,…
I was wondering the same thing. It's either a horrible human-written article, or an impressive machine-written one.
A paper that changed my approach to designing state machines is "Statecharts: A Visual Formalism for Complex Systems" by Harel (http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~harel/papers/Statecharts.p...). Statecharts (also called…
I'm not sure about Lua, but for Python it sounds like you may be interested in the "with" statement.
"Because USB keyboards don't support arbitrary numbers of keys being pressed at once." There is actually nothing in the USB or HID specifications preventing USB keyboards from supporting n-key rollover (when using the…
10/Fifth: More people multiplies communication overhead exponentially, slows everything down. Company bogs down, becomes bad place to work. Warning: pedantic. Adding people increases communication overhead…
A nitpick: C has been able to achieve the same performance as Fortran since C99 introduced the "restrict" keyword.
Seconding the C++ Primer! I've been slowly working through it over the past year, and have found it to be outstanding.
Yes, you're right. Good point.
A simple, principled way of solving October's problem is to model it as a Markov chain with absorbing states (the "Finish" square, and the two invisible squares past it -- the two invisible squares are unnecessary as…
Two female image processing researchers recently used a picture of Fabio as a test image in a paper of theirs: http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.6429 (Additional discussion at http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/246)…
I was referring to the "mebi" prefix. I agree that, currently, the old SI prefixes have perhaps been made slightly more ambiguous due to the introduction of the new prefixes. It is my hope that the computing community…
I agree that it looks odd. However, especially in applications like cryptography, I think that removing the ambiguity of "megabyte" (i.e. do we mean 10^6 or 2^20 bytes?) is worth the introduction of a new term.
To those giving serious replies: I'm quite sure (rather, I hope!) the parent is being sarcastic.
