Indeed. And it's very possible that the .NET OSS ecosystem will grow dramatically soon, once its core components, compilers, and build tools finish being open sourced and become stable on non-Windows platforms. The article accused peop

I'm not a financial advisor, but you might think twice about this. Establishing a good credit history could save you a lot of money at some point in the future. It's a hassle now and doesn't seem to matter in the short term,

Since their revenue models are pretty similar (lead gen for financial products), would it be reasonable to use Mint's per-user revenue (which had previously circulated back closer to their acquisition to be somewhere in the neighborhoo

Is there any work into building self-verification into these type of networks? For example based on hierarchical categories of concepts? If part of the network is trained on the concept of a cat, and whether or not an image is a cat is fed

This project specifically is probably not useful for others just because it is written in another language (unless it were to succeed in fixing problems or improving security or performance.) Redis is a server application, not a library, so

The open sourcing is not fully complete yet. See https://github.com/dotnet/corefx-progress . Some of us have been waiting for a production-ready way to run .NET on Linux and although it is coming it has not arrived yet.

If you own a condo or co-op and the building starts to degrade, the owners will vote (via an elected board) whether to make repairs to the building. If they vote to do that, in addition to the apartment, you own your unit's share of th

I don't believe this is accurate. When making radical changes to your application it might be required to run two copies in EB and do a CNAME swap. But for day-to-day deploys of new versions, EB can use rolling batches within one appli

Market rate for something like dr_ described (only a few blocks to subways and Central Park) is probably ~$2400 for a studio, ~$2900 for a junior one bedroom, ~$3200 for a one bedroom, assuming not poor shape (at least dishwasher) but not l

My experience with third party libraries has been quite different, for the most part. I've often been surprised at how easy it is to create bindings to libraries written in Obj-C even if no one else has before. Usually it requires extr

High density doesn't always equate to pleasantness though. It still has to be done right to be livable. I spent last year living near Columbus Circle (the southwest corner of Central Park in Midtown Manhattan) which is probably equally

Just using a ".ai" domain doesn't mean that the company is claiming the product is true AI. I don't see any such claim on the marketing site or the App Store page. Not sure where the title here on HN came from. Edit: typ
