I agree with you on the latter two points, but for the first one, it sounds like the application is using IE's rendering engine built into all versions of Windows. So the executable is super small given that all the heavy lifting is in

Kind of production. It was initially written in Lisp, then translated to C++ to go to production and maintained / extended from there. That's a great way to prototype -- use what you know and then rewrite (or in this case transpil

Say you have 50% of the company and your cofounder has the other 50%. That's all the stock, right? If you want to raise money you need to sell some stock. So the company creates new stock and sells that -- increasing the total number o

Back when I was at a largish company as an engineering manager I had to negotiate these sorts of contracts all the time. Would have paid for this in a heartbeat. You guys are definitely on to something. We eventually had an in-house person

At my previous company data science has become synonymous with data analysis, to the point that the number of data scientists on staff is starting to outnumber data analysts. I think it's more a sign of a maturing field than anything e

The best part of this paper is that they used mannequin challenge videos as their training dataset. That's super clever.

This looks super interesting. We're doing a startup right now that transforms data into time series tables. Building datasets from those in sql has been challenging enough that we built out a UI to do it. This could be another elegant

I had to spend time in embassies too. When you travel for a year it's possible to do that where you are. For example, I got my visas to Myanmar and India in Bangkok. You do have to plan a few days ahead. I meant don't plan it all

I quit my job for a year and did this with my wife. We didn't work while traveling -- it would have been too hard / distracting. This might sound odd, but traveling takes as much time as a real job -- the amount you spend just fig

I'm just like you. I don't sub-vocalize or hear words when reading and I can consequently read significantly faster than people speak (I'm assuming most people read at this rate if they're 'hearing' words -- though I'm actually not sure). I

Bit tongue in cheek... but this sets the clock ticking for Microsoft going 'oh, crap, someone is defining a new computing paradigm. Let's get on that before they're way ahead of us again'. Any bets as to when Microsoft announces Windows for

Interesting, but the one comment I haven't seen yet on this thread is 'Why is this useful enough to be a compiler feature?'. I think this is especially relevant with a relatively slim language like C. In the rare cases you need to do this s

Think of Ruby as a means to an end. Have a project. Rather than learning Ruby for Ruby's sake, learn it because it'll help you do something you really want to do. That's the best way for me to ever learn anything -- if the thing I'm learnin
