Really excellent talk, thanks for posting the video! That was a dense presentation, absolutely jam packed with information and new papers and ideas. Anybody know of a 2016 version of this? I know CVPR and ICML just happened and I'm not

What a silly reason to be bearish on Netflix. If anything you should be bearish on Netflix because they're highly leveraged and if their growth slows down they're SOL. As far as the specific "HR policy" outlined in the N

I'm really loving following this and I admire the tenacity this must take. For example... Screen brightness too low? Okay, just whip out some ancient circuit diagrams, trace them to find the capacitor at fault, find that capacitor on t

Wow this is messed up. This guy is clearly a predator and it's pretty shocking that he was able to operate in this way for so long. As much as women can be marginalized and harassed at tech companies I can easily see how the problem co

Wow! I've always wondered what these letters were like. H.W. has been known to be supportive of presidents across party lines. At one point he greeted President Obama on the tarmac in Texas and Obama later said (paraphrasing) that it w

Pretty basic stuff - the history portion was more interesting than any of the content that followed. Anyone who's been paying the slightest attention in the last few years will be familiar with all of the examples used in the podcast.

The absolute takedown of the author and the premise of the article followed by a one sentence admission that the idea might have value made me chuckle. I often try to write code which flows nicely to the eyes. For example, I'll structu

I always look forward to reading these - it typically leads to a good hour or two of Wikipedia and learning.

So I just started developing a react native Android app and a react desktop app in electron and it's actually been a very rewarding experience so far. Some thoughts I have on this: 1. I'd be interested to see the Android emulator

Anyone know if this will this be a recurring program? As in beyond 2016?

People were discussing this in the ECE labs and in student government today. I think the consensus is that the administration overreacted but that they were kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place with academic free speech vs. compli

Awesome, already used this twice. Thanks!

Wiki search is #1 on my wish list for Github. I see others talking about cloning the wiki repo locally and searching it but for big projects this would be the equivalent of downloading something like the Python docs and searching them. It

Me too. There will be less of a switch in mindset for me after working in JS for a while then switching to Python for the backend.

Pretty fluffy piece, I'm not sure why it's so high. FB does have some pretty cool stuff though - I've been itching to play with React and GraphQL. One tangential point I often think about is the importance of investing time

This is great news. Currently our js tests are run as part of Django's testing framework using Splinter (Selenium wrapper) to do browser automation. Those are hacked together using some partially documented class methods on top of py

N00b question here but when people refer to mutex's, they are usually talking about multiple cores on a single machine right? Isn't there a different terminology for locks taken across the network in distributed systems?

"Summers are the best." Agreed! Although I think fall in the midwest is my favorite combination of season and location. Too bad it always goes by so quickly.

I think it's important to make a distinction between working hard for work's sake and working hard because you really believe in what you're doing. The concept of hard work that most people who frown upon it in the US have i

Really well done! I actually worked in a shop similar to this (we were more focused on CNC machines but we had all the fab equipment too) during my freshmen year in college. Not only do I think the site is nice in general but it would hav

"...as a thunder lizard, the tech world’s name for the tiny handful of start-ups that actually become $1 billion businesses." I thought we were calling these unicorns? Maybe I'm behind the times terminology wise.

I agree. I wonder if they're willing to take people straight out of college. I'd be interested in doing a short "tour of duty".
