I'm mostly self-trained. That's probably a part of the problem. The utterly broken way that my team decided to build the reports probably doesn't help either. Sorry, no suggestions for books. Do you know if you'll be wor

Oh good god I do Business Objects work right now. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Not even for 150k.

Very interesting slides and talk. You mentioned that there are some regularities in different data sets that can be used to increase the efficiency of their encoding. Does this mean that you need to write a different foreign data wrapper fo

I'm in much the same situation as you are, as I'm squarely in the bible belt. Memphis TN to be exact. My suggestion for finding this "startup culture" is to go to meetups, hackathons, and makerspaces. I don't know y

> Executable code is what results when a software compiler turns source code—in the case of the AXE, programs written in the PLEX language—into the binary machine code that a computer processor executes. That was my first thought as well

The article was interesting for its history of prison gangs. However, if you're going to write about anything, then you owe it to both the readers and the subjects to interview the people involved. You're not going to get an inter

Your point about the domes is quite interesting. Can you imagine what it was like to be a citizen of Rome in the year 800, looking at a dome that is hundreds of years old and having no idea how people could possibly do that. I can't th

I was a tiny bit disappointed when I saw that the article was a bit of a "spoiler" for the new film. Not sure what I thought this would be, maybe new photos of the originals. I guess it's nearly impossible, but I prefer not t

Lots of negativity in the comments. A couple questions: 1. For the robotics people, is the "360° eye" camera an innovation, or is this already a standard component of robotic vision? 2. What's the next step for robotics in th

I hope this doesn't come off as snarky. Perhaps the author is making a point about the owners of electric cars not being particularly "green" because of their huge houses.

What I could gather from the wikipedia entry on the "Adapter Pattern"[0] is that an Adapter is a wrapper class that conforms to a different interface than the class that it is wrapping. For example, class A implements foo(), but y

Yeah that makes sense. He does say that he achieved 10% compression efficiency on the models. "Obviously that isn't true for NN parameters." I have little experience with NN's but I wonder if that's true for deep NN

Why is this tolerated? It seems like such an absurdly basic problem to fix. Years and hundreds of thousands of dollars of advanced medical training is distilled into a note/prescription that looks like a fucking five year old wrote it.

Usain Bolt is an example of this. I remember being totally shocked when he ran the 100m in 9.59 [1]. Check out this awesome graph from the "Men's 100 m progression" wikipedia page. [1] https://www.youtube.com/w

How does one go about learning this? Also what's your exposure to risk? I've been learning a fair amount of modeling and statistics lately and algorithmic trading has started to look a bit more viable as a side project.

Processing is a wonderful library/programming environment. An intro to programming class taught in Processing would be cool.

Greasemonkey on Firefox has a script called "Google Hit Hider by Domain" [1]. The list of blocked sites is not easily edited, but it consistently works. Its overall utility for me is still pretty high and it has a well-polished in

I think this quote from a parent at the very end of the article is quite telling: "To me, math is numbers, it's concrete, it's black-and-white. I don't understand why you need to bring this conceptual thing into math — a

I really love code as art. I do a bit during my free time, but it's a dream to do it full-time. Does anyone know how to break into this field?

Has anyone made a bird simulator game? I would pay money for a game that simulates the life of a peregrine falcon or golden eagle. It just seems like it would be incredible fun control a bird of prey chasing down a pigeon.

Geoffrey Hinton uses this same "picture a 3D picture, but in 11 dimensions" quote in his Neural Networks Coursera class. Honestly I think it's the only way to imagine >3 dimensional objects.

This is kind of the idea behind shared taxis, which are sometimes called colectivos or jitneys or a hundred other names. They have a semi-fixed route and will drop you near where you want to be. They don't leave their stop until they h
