No, it's not bipartite. in this article, every edge is between two Accounts. One edge is one transaction; one node is one account. Don't try to make transactions nodes, ew.

#1 is more serious. #2 limits the growth of your already successful company. #1 sinks your struggling small business. You have to be successful to be a victim of your own success, after all. Not to mention the fact that #1 is way more commo

You are victim-blaming. Many customers thought they were "savings accounts" that were completely distinct from the investment arm; they were deceived. SBF stole money from his "savings accounts" arm to fund his investm

I suspect that if you dive deeply into arbitrary-precision math (although I don't mean to assume you haven't), you'll probably find that a programming language that supports such a thing forces quite a bit more thought into

Well then what are you talking about? Why did you bother responding to my comment if you have nothing to say? What exactly was ignorant about it?

Oh please. They didn't even claim to be a member of AIE, they just said their university/degree was "accredited" by them. You know: the absolute bare minimum requirement to even call it a degree? You're really impre

Great comment about font design in general, although in this particular article it seems like it's not fallacious at all. They seem like they're explicitly going for a handwritten effect, and are willing to sacrifice legibility to

I agree that the JS implementation of "class" is bolted-on and obscures the underlying prototypical inheritance, and that this kind of thing makes programming harder. I wish JS had leaned more into the theory of prototypes, possib

I wish I was straw-manning. It'd be great if my description was an overly pessimistic caricature of a major political party. Unfortunately, it's not. It wasn't some political cartoon of people cheering on the deaths of the

Near-term, it's a job for robots. Very long term, the distinction between humans and robots is going to break down. Although unlike GP, I don't consider a few months' hop over to Mars to be "long distance" space tra

If you're ever wondering why something in the U.S. can't be made better, the answer is often that the existing rent-collectors must be allowed to continue collecting their rent at all costs. This is why we can't have the gove

Although I disagree with some of the details, I think this type of approach to domain modeling is some of the most valuable work software engineers can do; in fact it's the type of analysis and rigor that justifies the word "engin

It kinda makes sense, doesn't it? What are the largest convolutions you've heard of -- 11 x 11 pixels? Not much more than that, surely? So how much can one part of the image influence another part 1000 pixels away? But I am not an
