Regex named capture groups are somewhat of an underused feature I find, especially with things like simple parsers they help to keep stuff readable https://regular-expressions.mobi/named.html

Ever since I was a child I had this strange idea that I was missing fingers (I have 10 like most). From grade school till middle school I even kept counting them as if something was amiss. I mean, it's not like it's actively bothe

For a second I confused this with TerraGen ( https://planetside.co.uk/ ) and got all excited about reliving a nostalgic youth.

My go-to model that might work is: - Plant heliostat molten salt reactors in desert coastal areas (the concentrated solar kind) - Use generated heat to desalinate water - Use desalinated water to provide irrigation - Plant (potentially GMO&

A lot of "blast from the past" comments! But as a counter example, we still use Jena extensively (in combination with its server Fuseki) to deal with biomedical ontologies and taxonomies for use in Natural Language Processing (e.g

My favorite term is "annoying sized" data, not enough to warrant clusters and HPC, but enough to make a decent laptop crawl to a halt. It's that uncomfortable in-between that makes up the bulk of the data I usually encounter.

As an amateur astrophotographer I’ve been following the development of cubesats closely. It seems more and more likely that a small group or an individual would be able to launch a space based telescope within my life time. Right now it’s a

Love it. Especially the echo state network trick. I wonder how much of BERT/ELMO performance is simply due to them having a such a high dimensionality. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just makes a tad less practical for so

Yep. We've tried to run compute intensive tasks on the cloud but it was a total disaster. With 24U worth of Supermicro we're able to do it with ease with a 10x reduction in costs. The cloud has its place, but nothing beats bare me

This is true for lower apertures, but at higher apertures they become much more noticeable especially at high magnification. This is especially annoying for telescopes (it tends to look like this https://farm9.staticflickr.com&#x

Okay, I’m going to be a little bit far out there. A lot of this seems to be grounded in the negative. “How to deal with x” how to “do y when z has failed”. Some of it technical and some of it interpersonal. Why have we created this sphere a

I really like this idea of composing selectable attributes as schemas (ala RDF). I've been fairly reluctant in adopting specs into my own code, mostly because in a lot of cases I just didn't see the benefit (not for the things I t

We've been using a full Clojure stack (front-end + backend) in production for nearly 4 years and very happy with it (6-8 people full time). But that is very much anecdotal. I guess one thing to note is that the language is very stable,

Excellent points! From my personal experience I'd also like to add that there is a bit of preference involved. I find Lisp like languages much much easier on the eyes compared to Javascript or other C-like syntax. This is also partiall
