Not gonna put words into someone else's mouth, but here it is from my perspective: We come to the opinions we have based on the experiences we have, and everybody has different experiences. Equally as true is the opinions that don&#x27

With JWT, you have the option of stateful or stateless. Stateless gives you cheap federation (any server can authenticate a token issued by another server), but you lose the ability to handle revocation without some sort of statefulness int

Haskell has 3 major problems that are completely distinct in my opinion. Biggest technical problem: lazy evaluation. Other people have said more than enough here. Biggest cultural problem: technical oneupmanship and code golf. Haskellers ca

This is so true. I do business intelligence at Amazon, and I've seen this play out millions of times over. The fetishization of big data ends up meaning that everybody thinks their problem needs big data. After 4 years in a role where

I really like David Nolen as a conceptual visionary. His work with Om and core.logic is great and has inspired a lot of derivative work. But I would never rely on his libraries in production. It seems like he always gets to 90% before mov

Internally at Amazon, Pipelines (which inspired this service) was a lifesaver. Apollo (which is the inspiration for CodeDeploy) was also helpful, but should probably just be replaced by Docker or OSv at this point. But if they ever release

Does anybody here have any experience with Go's garbage collection pauses with large stack sizes? I've got a scala app that regularly consumes about 48G of ram, and I'm very happy with the response times during heavy loads li

There was the one time I created a random forest in Julia because I was frustrated with the training time in R. It completed training in less than 1/20th the time that R did. And then 2 weeks later, it wouldn't compile. Ah, the jo

Sometimes Machine Learning is the wrong approach. Direct mathematical modeling, if the underlying causal phenomenon are well known, bypasses the whole learning aspect of an explanatory system. Machine learning might help make sense of the r

js_of_ocaml as well as ocsigen in general always sounds like it could be amazing but I've never been able to stay on their hideous web page long enough. The colors and fonts hurt my eyes too much.

There are two reasons I prefer command line tools over python/R scripts: 1) Most of the time, I don't need to save anything at all, as they are one-off data manipulations 2) IO and control flow are already taken care of. No specif

Constraint Logic Programming is extremely productive in logistics planning problems which are NP-Complete/Hard. Even SWI-Prolog, which is hardly the fastest implementation out there, is faster than the fastest IP solvers I have found (

I really like what you guys do. It is a great concept, and it sounds like a really fun domain to work in. I hope I didn't ruin the puzzle by blurting this out.

The prolog solution is cool, but I would have solved it with a bellman ford algorithm.

Pretty decent list of links. However, I feel the importance of SQL has been completely downplayed...there are more hadoop-oriented links than there are SQL. Data retrieval and manipulation is where a data scientist will spend 95% of her tim
