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…
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.
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…
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…
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.
Uh, I still do? The person writing the article seems to think that if you can approximate how many piano tuners there are in New York, you automagically get that Google dream job. They're both tough, but very different,…
No, I don't think. From the messages you get if multiple people edit a wave too quickly, the site seems to be pretty intensive given the resources they're currently running it on. If I had to guess, I'd say they're…
Wrong. It can easily be an indicator of a company (or series of companies) that doesn't want to go through the hassle of firing you.
It's in a handful of canonical texts. I first encountered it in the first few pages of Debugging Applications, by John Robbins; the updated .NET version is great, but even the original Win32 edition is full of gems,…
Not so sure about that, Matt Taibbi is pretty well known for being up on his shit, regardless of the fact that it's published in Rolling Stone. I think the actual distribution of the publication is more of a limiting…
A-ha, yeah. I read that originally as Java and C# pulling in opposite directions in a fundamental way, not as a mind-/market-share sense
