It is so very depressing. Nearly every game released by those companies is an ad riddled garbage fire. It's an affront to what makes gaming fun. They are "games" in the same sense that slot machines are "games". The

Would it teach principles of deep learning in the same depth as if I slogged through the YouTube videos of cs231n? A legitimate question as I'm considering embarking on one of these two paths. As most of the people here my programming

I'm not sure bars existed in the times of Black Death. I learned recently that a sit down restaurant with a menu is a relatively new thing. Two hundred years or so. Plus minus a few decades. Your point still stands though. I just thoug

The explosion in size is terriying. I'm guessing the JSON mostly contained numerics?

lol, all shit in the world is soon turning to an "agile" model. Soon enough there will be scrums and daily standup for musicians. Time to create a Jira like app for them and cash in on the gold rush. Quality of the art is of cours

IMO there are very, very few nations who can truly understand the mindset of Jewish people. Only those that faced systemic extermination have the means for comparison. Armenians, Roma and a handful of others. Though I'm not Jewish myse

At what stage in its existence was Facebook in any way open? It was a walled garded from its inception - initially restricting access to college students only. In fact I never did and still do not consider Facebook as "the web". T

We got lucky that the nazis banned and expelled legitimate science and scientists on political grounds. This ensured that their science progress stagnated thus preventing them from acquiring nukes in time to change the course of the war.

Because the Moore’s law has petered out and software bloat reached unimaginable levels and is incomprehensible to its authors thus we are getting “innovations” of this sort. Hey, did you see the new animated emoji pack the new version is sh

If flying in this involves the all-cavity search like for all other passenger flights then forgetaboutit. I'll take a train ride 3x as long just to avoid the hassle of the airport experience.

They will at best ostracize me from their social circles. And at worst damage my property. Yes, I had a direct experience of the latter when my car was keyed for having a “give peace a chance” bumper sticker during the times of the war on I

Aren’t these node sizes mostly marketing BS that can’t be compared across manufacturers anyway? If Intel’s products can compete on performance or price or power consumption then who cares what they call it?

yeah, you can do everything by imposing more topology on top of JSON just like as it happened with XML. The JSON advocates are slowly reinventing everything that their parents built into XML 20 years earlier. My hunch is that it will share

It really isn't. I'm almost tempted to say it's the opposite though that would be overstating the case. It's a format that still bears excessive decoration (what's the purpose of quotes around field names? what are

Great info for those of us who enjoy working on platformers. That's said I still have a lot of fondness for the unforgiving 80s style game mechanics where the jump and the approach has to be timed just so. Miner Willy series games bein

Everything is being reinvented from scratch in the JS world. The insistence on unifying into one language means that a lot of tried tested and true has been tossed aside and it's all being rebuilt sometimes with dubious benefit.

We still have so far to go with screen resolution on desktops and laptops. While 200 dpi monitors are a huge improvement over the ridiculous 1080p or 1440p that most people still use we won't hit the zone of diminishing returns until w

The reason those transpilers exist is that the target language is so excruciatingly awful. At least to those willing to endure the pain of transpiling. It's an unhappy situation for all involved really. JS should be a language that tar

I work with service to service integrations. Data gets ingested into Kafka, transformed and delivered to target systems. The initial prototype used Clojure but a plain Java reimplementation ended up much faster - 2-4x difference.

A lot of issues centred around persistent immutable data structures that Clojure uses for just about everything. Yes those data structures are faster than any previous attempts at language level immutability constructs but are still much sl
