How dare apple decide to make products that appeal to a mass market. I remember how they used to fill my niche and now they fill everyone else's except mine and it's not fair. they don't even target creative professionals an

I'd be interested in what products you use? There are so many bug tracking products - even researching them can be hard work.

One of my pet peeves about shell scripts (speaking as a former UNIX admin) is the lack of static typing or test frameworks. So not only is the language less elegant than modern programming languages, but it's harder to test for bugs a

> As long as you build your application to be AZ-tolerant, you won't run into problems. This is a total crock. On the 31st of July, our ec2 instances across 2 availability zones were shutdown without warning. I waited 3 hours not

Out of interest, what database do you use? And how many joins do you normally do per view? We use postgres and once you get to around 1m records, even COUNT is slow as it does a full table scan, even with indexes.

I think the argument is different today. It's not just one or two industries being replaced, and it's not just super skilled labour either. When computers replace our drivers, in australia, that's ~ 5% of people out of a jo

I think the problem will remain because the "bits" (perceptrons etc.) of representation are always less than the sum of the inputs. So the training is lossy, which also means not perfect. As humans, we probably have less "bl

Andrew is simply saying (if I read him correctly) that if you use generative models you might classify sounds into something other than Phonemes on one layer, and that classification may actually be better than "Phonemes" for reco

have you heard about deep learning? Computers are coming up with novel solutions without human involvement. It was done before in the 70s and 80s with neural networks, but it only worked on simple tasks. Now the main limits seem to be com

thanks! I am currently doing the Andrew Ng one ( https://www.coursera.org/course/ml?from_restricted_preview=1... ), saw a Geoff Hinton talk on youtube and didn't even know about this course.

i don't know if this will be too confusing for you if you're new to sinatra, but the new version of Kibana (which is basically an interface to elasticsearch) uses sinatra, angular and grunt. Basically there are some grunt tasks t

Thank you, this is the most insightful comment I've read. People like the whipupitude, because they know it. But nearly every init.d script I've read has bugs. There isn't a testing framework to ensure correctness and even

I wish there was a bit more to the explanation, like examples of the naming issues listed. I've found that coffeescript prevents whole classes of bugs, and makes lots of javascript warts nicer to live with. For example, you don't

That is absurd. Saying that using a certain data access api tightly couples you to it is as crazy as saying using variables tightly couple you to ram (and using ram is obviously bad!). I honestly don't think you understand what tight

I would really like to do some neural network stuff, but i really have trouble reading the math. For example, they have a maxent classifier in the slides but I'd have no idea how to convert that to code. Any resources to learn that st

There would still be human jobs. It's just most people couldn't afford the robots.

I've never heard of ansible being referred to as a new generation. What do you think defines this generation? I use puppet and chef a fair bit so I'm just curious on the new features offered.

I think the problem is not that an ORM often influences schema design, it's that Relational Databases/SQL often influence application design. People complain that an ORM isn't using a relational database effectively. The gre
