I find that they're almost garbage. So as long as everyone is OK with massive muting and disabling of 98% of the issues. There is the 2% which actually helps to find bugs and improves code readability. The problem is with making sure

So, maybe natural selection works like this: Smarter elders -> more successful tribe (more food, more territory, better group-fitness!)

Of course, this, in the rare cases it is applicable. In my current course we have 400 students with 3 Prof. ... So it is not really applicable. Another thing to note is that undergrades' first job usually depends on having good grades.

what was the company's reasoning to disable access to the developer tools on Chrome and FF? why?

I don't think it's cumbersome. After doing stuff long enough you get to the point when you realize you can't know everything, you are not perfect, and more importantly, NO ONE IS.

It's just not "israel's most hyped initial coin offerings". "weird" may be a bad choice of word here. It's "newstainment" and it's the norm I guess.

DK maybe it's just sensationalizatin. It a weird way to frame it in any case. Makes a little more sense if it's a paper focused on Israel.

Hmmm I didn't mean to call doge a scam... It just an example of the common case where you shouldn't attribute specific cryptocurrency hype to a country. (And I didn't mean that hyped is necessarily a scam.)

This is not so much about crypto as it is about Moshe Hogeg. It is being alleged that he started various investor frauds, these companies are just a subset. In general, allegedly, he raises money for an idea... takes that money into raising

I kind of wish he used tau instead of Hz here.

Many programmers do care about the "shallow" syntax. Regardless, if, as you said, the operational semantics of the language is inconsistent among implementations and depends on internal caching, it only makes it worse.

"- In python - it completely makes" It is a pitfall. It's not about what python developers think about it. It is about what people from other languages experience when they learn the language. (Though it's not my main po

Of course there is some internal logic. The point was that both languages have pitfalls.

I agree, I was fluent in JS and other languages before learning python and hated it for a while. Eventually, you get used to the bad parts of any language so they become mostly transparent (and every language has bad parts). Specifically, n

The parent is talking about transpiling python to JS. I don't see why people who hate JS would like python. The language itself is not any better IMO (excluding ecosystem here). edit : following some comments I want to add that the

IMHO, this only makes sense as part of a bigger non-code data software such as SPSS or Tableau. I don't see non-programmers picking this up from scratch, but if they're already doing data work, this is much better than current SPS

I used the term "ML researcher ". I'm also talking from experience and generally agree that less is better for engineering jobs. For research jobs it is very very common to list tons of things (papers, committee positions, a

Depends on the job. Yes, your advice is generally good for a software engineer with less than 10y experience. For senior ML researcher, for example, you are expected to list the many things you did and know. You still are going to be filter

They're not aiming at all of society. Parts of the law are already algorithms (not all of it), they just happen to be written in an obscure uncompilable Legalese.

Quite the contrary, at least in computer science. Tons of good problems, actually developing a solution (and the theory and experiments to back it) is usually orders of magnitute more difficult. Another point is that to get to this volume t

Scala has its place... it's just not one that requires fast on-boarding (like a small startup where people constantly come and go). The success stories usually involve companies that are mature enough to spend time on design, training,

It's less autonomous than anti-radar missiles, heat-seeking missiles, etc., ... Not to mention "dumb" munition like mortar shells. I any case, even if there was some 'autonomous' weapon (which is not the case here),
