what is a better alternative for code understandability ?

Yeah totally this, my travel intentions are usually more along the lines of living in a new culture for at least 6 months and setting myself up to see if I could live there long term, whilst keeping the options open. Have been in NZ for 6 m

It's probably what got me interested in programming in the first place. Writing C code and learning about pointers to memory, and playing around with memory locations to see undefined behavior could be invoked

Great post! How difficult is it to switch from an AWS EC2 instance to the GCP version?

Congrats on the launch! I think I saw you talk recently in NZ, sounds like you have an exciting path forward

That distinction from Hinton is quite interesting, I often work with "Machine Learning" models, but for the most part the models are regression models and/or tree classification models that are easier to understand conceptual

they're still going to be grumpy about how to test and set up development

Sounds like a pretty ideal job for somebody into bikes, wish I still lived in Vancouver

seems like a good opportunity, but how much would it cost for these storage units?

This is pretty much what I was looking for 5 months ago. I use R Shiny extensively to prototype, it's a great tool for building quick dashboards and visualisations, but when you want to go further, that's where Shiny starts to get

I've just moved to Auckland from Vancouver, and yeah it's pretty much the exact same thing happening in both cities. It's a bit bizarre to see and live here

I think the author is suggesting to give the end user the option to turn on/off power in an attempt to do peak shaving. If spot prices are predicted to go up at a certain time due to grid constraints, then you can inform the user and i

I force myself to attend as many meetups as possible. I find it beneficial to just attend and even if you have no interest in the talk, it's nice being around other people who potentially are

I've really thought about this as well, I'd love to work a couple hours in a coffee shop on a weekend. It's mainly the fact that you get to interact with somebody, make them something, and see them enjoy it immediately. Somet

I've actually been looking at light alarm clocks recently, anybody have one they would recommend? The Philips wake up light looks nice, but there isn't an option to dim the clock display so it's actually always on.
