Your point a) gave me a good laugh. It's going to be a while until courts/lawyers/public care about nuanced topics in software.

draw.io is pretty simple though and very easy to open up and use. I use a mac and am not a big fan of opening up office products for simple/quick things

Why is this space so bloated?

by MisterPea 6y ago
A big thing though is how cheap they can make this. The Idemia one seems a lot more expensive. Driving down costs on existing technology is innovation. (Although who knows how much this actually costs to amazon)

Interesting, thanks. One nit I would call-out is that most people don't put a space between the print and the ("hello world"), so idiomatically when learning, print is 'just another function'. And since HelloWorld i

> It's not randomly special, it's special because it models something that deserves special treatment. Can you expand on this, why is this more humane? And why should print be a special function?

Yep, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. A few people in this thread are equating ML scientist's responsibilities to those of an ML engineer, however, they are very different. Production development of a model is a very hard prob

Yeah not sure what they were getting at. There are also a lot of people who fundamentally don't know good software engineering practices and cause a ton of tech debt

True, but I think this case opens up doors on regulation of tech companies for security, or at least new laws for security negligence. The power that Twitter has due to its highest-profile users is immense, however, this hack made them look

Ballmer says/did some stupid stuff and it gets (rightfully) flamed for it but he guided Microsoft with many correct decisions during his time. Even Satya says so: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/16/satya-nad

I agree that it's already happened, but I disagree it's Pichai's fault. A lot of the company direction/culture that was put in place before Pichai was the cause of G to seemingly be behind other tech companies in innovat

Can someone explain to me how FFmpeg seems to be the only open-source software to do even just basic functionality with audio. I was looking at getting the sound wave graph for a piece of audio a while ago, and not only was FFmpeg the only

Not many podcasts have the following and clout of JRE. Seems like the podcast you mentioned in Germany has it as well. But platform exclusive content is the exact opposite of what pretty much every podcast listener wants. Someone in another

Well I think that's one of the benefits of microservices actually. Cut out all the services that have deep tribal knowledge from people let go and replace them with new services if the service is actually important or just remove it al

Sure, but for the vast majority of students they can get a quality education in-state. Plus schools like Cal, UCLA, Michigan, UVA and UW are among the best in the world

I was on an 8 person hangouts video call this past weekend on my phone and by the end I could've cooked an egg on top of it.

I agree with you in some points, but overall I do believe that a lot of progress is being made with respect to qualified POC and women rising ranks - it just takes time to reflect. It's easy to dissect on one company and criticize them

I have the family plan for $15 which I think is a great deal considering how much my family and I use Youtube. Plus free google play music! Although its iOS app is absolute trash.

I think most people recognize and understand that amazon neither has a relevant market share nor a monopoly in the traditional sense of the word. The author makes a good point that it is very much political as much economic. The latter is i

I think this does what you mention and not the former. I would imagine this works best when you have a codebase that heavily utilizes the AWS SDK so it can internally 'paint a picture' of what's going on and provide better ar

I think who you're purchasing from does make a lot of difference though and it is not necessarily an orthogonal topic in morality. I'd imagine a lot less people would take advantage of this pricing error against a mom and pop stor
