a friend found this thread last night, which is basically a continuation of the analysis you put on your blog a few months ago about tether's crypto assets having made them insolvent, but looking at the way their…
Default? The two sweetest words in the English language!
There is an objective, but it may not be exactly as you reason about it. There's a great video that made the rounds last year about building a neural net that plays Super Mario World, that may help visualize what's…
The 200ms is pretty well spelled out in the beginning of the post. It's not that cert checking is taking 200ms by itself, it's that sending any packet cross-country takes 80-100ms, round trip, and so if you have to go…
SciPy, OpenCV bindings, PyML, et al. I've worked more with Ruby than Python (and like the language itself better), but there's no question Python has the more momentum in this space.
I enjoyed how the caption photo changes between sites.
I would look at this article as being about opportunity cost though, not necessarily that each of the bullet points must be extant in a program in order for you to enroll or stay in college. Ask yourself: would I be…
..ish!
This isn't always evident from the outside, and it may not even be evident from the inside, until you realize you should be advancing along that non-existent career path.
"The actual print production process was quite an adventure—going right to the edge of what was possible." I liked the book a lot, but have a hard time not seeing this as hyperbole. Yes, it's the printing industry..but…
Right, that was my point (which was written from my phone, so it was terse). RSS is just XML, but to my knowledge, no one's _delivering_ RSS over anything but HTTP in a generic way. Indeed, it's a syndication system…
"At work you scroll through RSS feeds..." ...is the author of The Long Tail really this ignorant of technology?
No, that's just what you'd need to make it compile
hah. i don't know how i just noticed this now, but i've already been a sonic.net customer for 6 months. it still sucks they're one of the only decent companies in an area so flush with tech.
Yeah, no. Of the dozens of Googlers I've met, their take is that this is just not the case. As others have pointed out, it is _not_ a lottery as to false positives, but it certainly can be for false negatives; Yegge…
Options, warrants, futures, currencies, bonds, ETFs, et al. Check out: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_instrument, but obviously, these are often or the more advanced (with the exception of ETFs, which are…
"Even now in San Francisco, one of the springs of innovation on the net, a standalone DSL line from AT&T costs $35 a month for a top speed of 1.5 Mbps down and 384 up, with reliability that’s simply embarrassing."…
tl;dr. This didn't need to go on beyond, "I'm not interested in jobs where a CS masters is useful." This was just a primer on being a decent software engineer.
Very interesting, though I'll take more of a look later on. The speed test does seem a little contrived, as it's for one case, and it looks [briefly] like some of the gains are due to greater specificity of primitive…
Hey, mootools. But point well taken.
Disagree. There's 'boilerplate' introduced by the framework/pattern, which may be necessitated when you throw out default assumptions to scale (which I, wooster, the OP, and yourself probably all agree are not so…
Alternately, you must need to learn how to RTFA.
Except that example assumes perfect fungibility. There's no guarantee PayPal would be a huge company if it were founded in England, Ireland, et al.
Exactly. "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." It's not as if wealth can be generated from the void. The top 1% often give so graciously to the universities that made it…
