Also also just in: You can not drive a Tesla without using the touchscreen on an almost constant basis. You have never owned a Tesla if you think this is not the case.

Like in any modern analog car, the knobs are free spinning and therefore remember their settings. It’s a tactile version of tapping a screen that is a better UX IMHO. When my significant other uses my car, they hit #2 on the preset settings

Where is your finished data engineering book? I would like to read it. How do you think a book gets written? Obviously you don't think that someone sits down, puts finger to keyboard, and then a book bursts into fruition. This is a wor

There is a ton of wisdom in this comment. Others would do well to heed your advice. My experience as a consultant and product business owner has very nearly been exactly as you’ve described.

I disagree with most of the comments here stating you should use zero marketing or market to friends, family, or local shops. Inbound marketing is a powerful tool, doesn’t require you to be a marketing genius, and costs little to no money a

I would argue that personal circumstance is significantly more indicative of success than a generalized statistic.

Meh, there's risk involved, but saying it's a "recipe for disaster" implies that you think the outcome is nearly set or that the odds are against you. I challenge that line of thinking. You don't necessarily "g

These paths are not mutually exclusive, which should probably be noted in the article as well. I know many who have done some combination of them, myself included.

Myself and my colleagues do a lot of work in finance and machine learning where low level C++ is king, and we are highly paid for knowing the language intimately. You can generalize this across many parts of the finance industry in my exper

I think you should give it another look because, by my observation of the PDF, it's most definitely all about NN-based NLP.

As another data point, I don't find the Boost dependency an issue at all. Boost libs are just so useful...

Seems like performance is a real advantage, too. Similar to why we sometimes see static CRTP used for the Visitor pattern. I'm using static CRTP for a project that requires extremely low latency, and when compared to it's virtual

From the presentation materials included in the repo, it looks like it's intended to be a library example of what they'd like to be a language extension.

Yes, but FWIW most linked list implementations have a reference or pointer to the tail, making appends not O(n), but O(1). However, there is a threshold, depending on use case, where a small vector being resized multiple times larger than t

To your point, people often forget that the lockdown likely played a part in the inability for the second suspect to escape. An entire city looking for you is certainly a possible cause for the second suspect to have been hiding in a boat.
