Note though that e.g. liblinear models are trivial to load and apply yourself - most classifiers just compute the matrix-vector product between the weight matrix and an instance vector and take the class with the highest activation. That ro

The list does not describe why they are the best books, except for a very short blurb. We read the Deep Learning book by Goodfellow, Bengio, and Courville in our reading group when it came out. Even though it contains useful information, it

What makes it worse is that the rules differ, even in EU countries. In Germany you have to make a 'Rettungsgasse' when there is a traffic jam, whereas e.g. in The Netherlands, emergency services use the 'vluchtstrook' (o

This is not really specific to Germany. Zipping is also used in e.g. in The Netherlands and Belgium. It's been required by law in Belgium since 2014 and has been campaigned in The Netherlands since 1989 (apparently). Also, having lived

I just did that. Luckily I installed Office with Homebrew Cask, so removing was just brew cask uninstall microsoft-office away. For me the app store version has many benefits: - Microsoft sneaked OneDrive into the Office installer.

Thank you for illustrating my point ;).

This is a strange benchmark. Along those standards, Linux or BSD also haven't committed to data control. Like Linux or BSD, you can set up the packet filter to do so. Like Linux or BSD there are no user-friendly, out-of-the-box ways to

My understanding is that it is only after Apple failed at setting up their own advertising business that they jumped into the privacy bandwagon. - Introduction iAd: 2010 - Introduction of iMessage with end-to-end encryption: 2011 - Introd

Also, most of my developer friends who have one booted theirs once or twice before disappearing in the closet. We used one as a home server, but replaced it by a NUC, since IO on the Pi is too constrained. The Micro:Bit at least actually go

It is not just a reskinned KPN service. Xs4all offers a lot of technical advantages (e.g. being able to configure the ISP-side firewall to allow port 25 access). The problem is that the market of tech enthusiasts is very small. At the KPN-s

I am an XS4ALL subscriber and this was very sad news. They are a great provider with a great history. Note that The Netherlands had another (tiny) provider with a similarly long history and hacker ethic, DDS: https://dds.nl Ten

I am completely in favor of having a work station (better performance per Euro than a laptop). However, nothing holds you from using a nice screen and keyboard with a laptop. I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to a 4k external display, Microso

Yes, that's a similar approach to the use of user namespaces that I mentioned, which also doesn't require recompilation. I guess proot also works on systems with user namespaces disabled (which is sometimes done for security reaso

It doesn't require it: - You can create the nix store in some directory you own. But this entails recompiling every package, because the precompiled binaries have dependencies on the store being in /nix. - If user namespaces are e

It depends on the defintion of taint . Homebrew cannot touch the base system, since it lives in /usr/local in macOS. Also macOS SIP prevents modification of most system files. One major problem is that system and Homebrew version

Homebrew on Linux (known as Linuxbrew) does not require root access. Of course, Nix also works without root and has many other benefits ;).

I have two pairs of AirPods. Technically they are a marvel, but their design is quite ugly (large white bars).

I liked Bittorrent Sync and later Resilio Sync a lot, but they have been very unreliable when it comes to pricing and licensing, changing both several times. Their license structure is currently worthless to me. I have a license, but that i

This may be true, but is not a very constructive comment without pointing out which language features or interactions between language features you find complex. Ownership and the borrows checker may have a steep learning curve, but are not

Can anyone recommend other companies worth keeping an eye on for new products? Anything coming from OmniGroup is generally great (if you need it). OmniGraffle has absolutely been a life-saver for me. When I have the time, I like doing sli

For the UI rust has bindings for a lot of stuff and it's easy to generate more. I use Rust as my main language, but as far as I have seen gtk-rs is the only somewhat mature binding for an existing UI toolkit. This is not coincidental

Even though it's proprietary, Resilio Sync does encrypted peer to peer sync, plus it allow encryption-only nodes. These contribute bandwidth, but cannot decrypt the data.

I think that the work that is done on ELMo, BERT and others is great and useful. Unfortunately, there are many grandiose claims circling around these papers, such as the title of this blog post. For example: If we’re using this GloVe repre

On macOS, they are absolutely awesome. The Magic Trackpad 2 has a motor for haptic feedback. Applications like OmniGraffle use this to give a subtle vibration when you are dragging an object and it aligns with another object. So you can fee

Deleted it early in the year. The wall turned into junk anyway in the preceding years, so it was not difficult to quit. My wife still has Facebook, but she rarely mentions any interesting friend/family news sources from Facebook. It se
