The only way to prevent hackers from getting access to databases that contain our names, picture, and license plate number - is to never create such a database.

I can think of a cool case for this. What if you have an append-only system which is making remote backups. One service is writing the activity log append only, a second service is reading that, check-pointing, and then truncating the head

Yeah... The average Google engineer is better than the average engineer. But there are plenty of competent software engineers who don't want to live in South Bay or near a Google hub. There are engineers with interests outside of Goo

The hard work of your parents for you to attend a better school have nothing to do with your potential. You were fortunate, not everybody was. You might also consider that the great sacrifices your parents made to place you in a certain env

I suspect you know better than I do. 10 years ago I took a lot of the busy-work classes at GCC. And yeah, the education is not great. "Business math" and their persistent description of integrals as "the area under the cur

I also do not understand this. For example, Arizona community colleges (2 years) are $2,400 while Arizona state universities are $10k. People are deciding to spend more money elsewhere. They have been convinced that to have a successful

I guess my experience has been the opposite. On every software R&D team I have been on, there has been about an even mix of computer science, physics, and mathematics with a few sprinkles of data science from the biology fields. Espec

Yeah, no kidding. A guy tried to find a way for his company to positively contribute to society and failed while absorbing losses. So he should be lambasted? What did Robin Kaiser-Schatzlein do? Judging from his articles[1] he's a p

Nobody can front-run the field of artificial intelligence, progress is too incremental, slow, and insanely well-funded by Google, Facebook, Baidu, and Microsoft. Not to mention the source of so many improvements coming from CMU, Stanford,

That sounds like the delusion of most start-up founders in the world. Which one of these mission statements is Alphabet's for-profit Deepmind and which one is the "limited-profit" OpenAI? "Our motivation in all we do is

You know - I agree with this article. Thank you for your thoughtful response. I understand and agree that 24bits is enough for human perception. But something else is happening in MP3 encoding. Some sort of assumptions about human percep

The reverberation of a single tone can be in phase or out of phase . The results is observed as a beat frequency in amplitude.. not in tonal frequency, that's what why bitrate matters.

Compressors variably quantize a frequency band based on what is considered to be imperceptible to human ears. Imagine a standup bass is sustaining a note. That has a bunch of different resonances based on; strings, the wood of the bass, a

I upvoted you, but you're wrong. 24bit audio depth matters, especially in jazz and classical recordings. You notice both subharmonics and superharmonics missing. Particularly when their phase is slow in time.

There are always a few tell tale signs that audiophiles can pick out. In an analog mix, you should never expect two instruments to share a quantization... But that's what you hear with compression. The cymbal quantization is dependent

I guess that's true. But I can't remember the last time I have used `#if` aside from header guards and optimization paths. So they do exist, but I almost never do this.

I agree with this blog writer. Allowing typedefs to cross static if boundaries would be a major change to the way I read code. Unless there's a more substantive example demonstrating why using the existing metaprogramming is insuffic

If you are working on embedded software in an environment without robust dependency management, dropping in a file is the easiest way to add a feature. You also may want to minimize symbol leakage into a C program, a single file allows mos

Yes. And in 3 years (or so) when the hype-train moves on, and all that is left is the core users. It will be a much more viable choice for development, in my opinion. I don't think anything negative of the language or core libraries.

I guess I feel like the annoying formatting is indicative of the community, immature. Web developers seem to follow trends; Perl -> DJango|RoR -> Node.JS -> Scala -> GoLang -> Elixir -> Something. Or, something like that.

DenseMatrix. Also, tensor implies something about how to interpret the data that is not usually appropriate.
