The fact that you can still talk about them as separate is what I mean. It isn't some MS brand Xamarin. It's still Xamarin. Github is still Github. Of course Microsoft played a part in the progress. Try to be more generous with yo

My son is reading a book about conquerors and came across the portion on taxation, how the conquerors would tax the conquered and send the profits back home. We talk about what he is reading on our daily walks. He said "there are no mo

I'm not sure a separate interpreter is necessary but a preprocessor could remove the notations perhaps.

This syntax is horrible. I'm surprised they didn't just copy Python's typing syntax.

by cheez 6y ago
I prefer Python's typing module to this.

The MSN brand had some good stuff. MSN messenger, the MSN browser (I loved it). Great work by that team.

On balance I find writing your own tools is useful when your use cases are narrow but becoming a wizard in other tools is useful otherwise. I'm lucky that I get to define my own use cases.

I just didn't trust the tools to do the job properly so for now I just split it up myself.

If you are not achieving your professional goals, no amount of 1 upping will do. Focus on what is important.

Here is what a human did: It begins with quicksort, it switches to heapsort when the recursion depth exceeds a level based on (the logarithm of) the number of elements being sorted and it switches to insertion sort when the number of elemen

Mistaken understanding of how GPUs are used in AI. GPUs can be used for training but there is no requirement for the model to be executed on GPU. For example, a network can simply be created for incrementing a counter which could be what a
