And if you have a look at the site you will see that not only are they learning coding and development skills, but they are also learning the ins and outs of social media. Why did you have to ruin this for me? I know you didn't mean

The assumption in your question is that anyone who has done any research can only possibly agree with you. I'm not assuming that. Any amount of research could be no research or close to none. People who have done very little research

Under that argument, using machine learning to make decisions on things like advertising campaigns or mortgage rates is still bad even if race and sex do not correlate. That's a much different argument than what the author is making. I

I've seen the speech. He isn't nice, but he's still right. "Do a good job or be replaced by someone who can." I guess I need to add the movie to my backlog now.

Not everyone in our society will or can work, and those who don't are lucky enough to be supported privately or publically or they're eventually homeless. This is the reality of a conservative value system. That's not the r

If programming can be described as "making programs", metaprogramming could be described as "making programs making programs" - or something. You probably use metaprogramming every day perhaps without even noticing it.
