I wonder how much of the formidable amount of computing resources required for deep learning can be attributed to wasteful and inefficient programming practices. A lot of the ML libraries that I see are written in Python with very little at

My brother and I built an app together that is only used by the two of us. It’s a simple way to keep a shared ledger between the two of us because we split a lot of expenses as roommates. We’ve been using it almost every day for about 10 mo

Completely insane to me that a social networking website wants to see your passport. If that isn’t some Gibson-esque cyberpunk dystopian elements creeping into our real world, then I don’t know what is.

Humanity has built a /lot/ of bridges that have fallen apart before we were able to learn how to do it correctly. It’s sometimes easy to forget just how young the software industry is.

China is only one part of the world in which Apple does business. It is in Apple’s best interest to offer privacy as a feature to attract customers in other parts of the world where privacy is not illegal, since it is not something their co

To reiterate threeseed’s point: the user wants the website to work well and work efficiently. They don’t care if it’s HTML or an interactive app. In a lot of cases, the web works better when pages are served as plain static HTML.

Same here. I love using just one charger and cable for my laptop, tablet, game console, headphones, and more. I’ll never go back to USB-A.

I heard a story about when he used to work at Google, he would get pulled into interviews where the candidate was brave enough to write “Python expert” on their resumé. There’s definitely no one better to grill someone on their Python skill

The co-founder also wrote a book about statistics behind dating sites, as well as a variety of other topics, called “Dataclysm”. I read it a couple years ago and I definitely recommend it if you’re interested in this kind of stuff. https:&

Not everyone is just in it for the degree. Some people actually want to learn things, expand their mind, and meet people who are trying to do the same. We should treat these kinds of students with respect and hold everyone else to the same

One of my favorite things to do is listen to music in foreign languages. (Turkish pop is my favorite. Check out Tarkan or Ismail YK if your ears are curious.) This site is a fantastic way to discover more music from around the world. Great

Your app looks great, and props to completing a project for something you wanted. However, I'd reconsider using the word "native" in your marketing since TypeScript and QML on a macOS desktop is not by any means native. TypeS
