That's their IT+customer relations combo job. Just awful. SWEs are pretty well taken care of though.

*since last year The jump in EPS from the last earnings call a few months ago is just a few percent - nowhere near that. It's about 18% above expectations. This is good if you're a shareholder for sure, but the title is misleading

As a layman, I don't understand. I mean it's bad news, but they may probably lose 12% of their business vs a 30% stock price drop while still hitting estimates (admittedly at the low end) for revenue this quarter. The price should

I mean, it's in the SLA that they have to refund 10% for the billing period IIRC.

Target's stock price absolutely tanked today. I bet that, while the s3 outage will have a negative effect on AMZN, Target reporting way under estimates is probably creating a positive effect that evens it out.

A sane, open, paid API: I would pay serious money to use their historical data. It's a goldmine for machine learning research, finance, market research, news, politics, etc. I'm sure anybody could find a legitimate use for that mu

If you read the introduction, it does. In particular, it explains how normalizing for parts of speech (all nouns, verbs, etc) zipf's law does not emerge. This method predicts that phenomenon as parts of speech being a latent variable,

I have heard people talk about this as becoming a race issue, and I agree. This is basically an iteration of self-checkout, and if that has issues with people being profiled at the store exit (which it does) then this will too.

It's not all that much crazier than what we know to be true. Pamela Anderson visited Assange to give him a sandwich the day before his internet git cut off and he more or less disappeared off the face of the planet. Truth is stranger t

Those are just simple tricks. the first one is 2, the second one, I haven't worked out yet, but it's x where 1/x = 1+x. Just transform those into something with the original in it (square the first, invert the second), then r

I am taking a cloud computing class. We each use our own account and have registered for some free educational aws credits that come with the student developer pack. I think teachers can also request credits as well since we get an extra $4

Related, has anybody figured out how to get GPU support on the sub system? I want to run neutral networks with GPU optimization, but there's not really a good solution for that in windows.

Yeah, the Balmer way of evaluation has completely disappeared. SWEs are no longer trying to remain outside the bottom 20% just to stay employed. Everything about evaluation is now centered around getting things done, helping others, and lea

Create a simple script (using python requests, bash + curl, whatever), and invoke it a bunch of times on a large machine on EC2 using a bash program for example. you want a machine that can handle many of these scripts running simultaneousl

Rates stayed the same. How much of this decision would you say is political, and how much is informed by data and analysis of economic factors?

Computer scientists are bad at naming. Let marketing handle it.

Related question, would Donald Trump actually be able to do away with the H1B as he suggested he would a couple of months ago?

Okay, so let me preface this with a warning. This will be an imprecise analogy! This is just meant to be an aid to understanding. Obviously, there are nuances of the DAO that don't fit perfectly into this model. Imagine a publicly owne

I think the basic idea is that with Bitcoin, you sort of have to hack at it to achieve any unintended functionality. These things can and do exist in the Bitcoin world, but when you get down to it, Bitcoin is meant to be a currency; anythin

My thoughts exactly! Not that that's the main idea, but it is an odd coincidence that the announcement was today.

The quake and doom code bases with their novel techniques are definitely on this level. The man has some serious implementation chops.

Does this mean anything for developers? Like, do I have to change anything to keep using LE?

Could someone explain how this works? I feel like unique shuffling given a random seed is very useful algorithm, but I can't follow this code because of the variable naming and stuff.

So... Does anybody have any actual advice for getting out of bed?
