Or perhaps explain how all the different inputs influence the result? I more or less get that it's just iterating over the data to approximate the given data set when you press play but I have no idea how giving it more or less neurons

I spent an hour reading this thread and I still have no idea whether I should try it or not. I always leave confused when I read about LSD, as if it's both amazing and horrible.

To be fair, it it wasn't a crapware YouTube Downloader, it would be something else. As long as "computer intuition" doesn't become more commonplace, we are always going to have this problem despite our best efforts to ge

Not that it can become much worse than it already is, though. The current reCAPTCHAS are already "fuck this shit"-inducing on Tor.

Personally, for me it makes sense that the id field has a different distintive name for each table because it's a specific kind of id, i.e., customerID is not interchangeable with reservationID. For me, this is not so much about prepen

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Pinboard is great for what it does, and it obviously has a fan base, but in a world where Evernote and Pocket exist and are massive, there is not a lot of room for a service like Pinboard to become hug

Wouldn't it be hilarious if their AI turned out to be a script that simply does a regexp match on the application of the lines of "/the (next)? (google|facebook|instagram|uber) (of \d+)?" to automatically reject it :)

I assume he meant "Boils down to your [choice of] infrastructure", as in, none of the two is inherently better than the other, and your choice would depend entirely on what you prefer to use.

Jon Skeet already answered this here, but to add, I think in general, if you see a very specific answer or a very obscure solution to an apparent odd or non-obvious problem, usually the person answering is not so much necessarily blessed wi

Really wish that we had a good, fast, Thunderbird alternative by now other than MS Outlook. But everyone seems to assume that you are supposed to use a web client like gmail now.

Don't read too much into it, it was a business decision, not a question of resources. It's obvious that Google could have kept reader alive without much trouble if they wanted.

It's a cat and mouse game, of course captchas have been defeated in the past, but captchas just keep getting increasingly complex. Currently, for anonymous requests, reCAPTCHA by Google, which is what Cloudflare uses, asks you to &quot

The article is unclear as for whether he was still involved with TrueCrypt by the time they got him though. It sounds like he had quite a lot going on to even care for TrueCrypt at that point.

I also read it that way, but "What I'm about to say will be controversial, but bear with me for a second..." is probably a better alternative.

No quiz needed, the actual answer should be just "Whatever language you know and can get shit done with".

Fiction, but that was entertaining. To the author, you should probably consider writing a book in this style :)

At first I thought it was plausible their internal reporting system had some sort of bug that just happened to "predict the future" by accident. But yeah, it's just entertaining fiction :)

Tangential, but what exactly makes someone a millenial these days? I was almost expecting a newspaper run by 16 year olds with that title, but that's obviously not the case. Is anyone under thirty a millennial now?

It's interesting how flat human nature stays over time, how advice given 136 years ago is still perfectly applicable today. Over the course of centuries life has changed dramatically, but we still think, worry, feel and act like our an

Well it's in Amazon's best interest to get people to use and migrate to their infrastructure at the end of the day, so it's no surprise that a service that helps you move to AWS is competitively priced.

From my experience on both sides of the table, 90% of the times average companies will always pick the candidate that is cheaper (that is, the one that asks for the least salary), not the one that is most skilled. So don't beat yours

If the cretins didn't keep procreating and feeding, you wouldn't have half the life expectancy, quality of life or knowledge that you have today. Humans create a ton of value, even if we are destructive sometimes. We just need to
