I can recommend his introduction to energy models. It is a bit older but explains the idea very well.

CIA favours lab leak theory after a new head is picked. A person that has always been a vocal supporter of the lab leak theory. No facts changed, just a Trump appointee starting work.

Have used dell business laptops for many years now (Vostro 13 and friends) Used to be amazing, first one lasted a very long time (8years), my third one is currently giving up the ghost. And while Linux used to work great on them the uefi bi

The whole appeal of Django is that you can just swap in a different templating engine / syntax if you prefer. And you can add a DB and let there be managed by some other system. Same goes for extending manage.py I’ve worked on Django p

The comments here are somewhat confused, understandably as the article is too. Cash is really expensive for shops, many digital payment methods cost a fraction. (Not in the US perhaps, but that whole payment system is antique) The interesti

We run a decent Keras model on production. I don’t need a custom loss function, so keras is just fine. From the article it sounds like Waymo run on Keras. Last I checked Waymo was doing better than the PyTorch powered Uber effort.

Reminds me of the contrast between a small Bayesian Modeling conference that was a discourse chat and a big one of a snake themed programming language. They had a custom game where ypu could walk around, a custom video player and all sorts

You make a very valid point. I’d ignore unpriced other externalities, that is a large rabbit hole. (Do people increase consumption of other goods thanks to the savings of this ticket…) I’d rather look at the project, subsidies again and the

As someone running neo4j in production I can just warn that the DBs are a pain and need a lot more care and love than Postgres or Oracle DBs. Even much larger instances. Maybe their cloud offerings are better, but they are quite expensive.

I’m all for upskilling. On your example, when I was an intern in a factory, I was banned from the pneumatic tools with a counter grip. Because if you use them incorrectly your finger/ hand / arm is a flesh pancake. My solution sug

We’re in the process of shifting an entire business from db stored state driven by large (Java and .net) apps to an AMQP based system. I can’t really say I’m enjoying it. But it does help with scale

With all the data issues strong quality and normalisation I often get the impression that enabling more people with non CS backgrounds to do this work is not necessarily a good thing. In other words, if writing python and sql is the skill r

It should be noted that the previous formula was from before 1983 when it was changed and it was changed because it overstated inflation. So a better headline should be, academic sour about being wrong all the time uses outdated formula to

Section 230 is at core of problem. And the lobbying efforts the profits can buy. Legally wsj nyt twitter vogue and instagram are completely different despite clearly being the same product. It’s insane these platforms aren’t the same. If y

It’s true that Django and especially DRF feel a bit overkill. But for any app that does actual business the extra bits have often saved my bacon.

Sorry to hear this. This will end in drama. Work out what drama is acceptable to you and work towards that. This will get ugly. Your partner clearly makes quick penis driven decisions for good own benefit. This can’t work.

Call me old fashjioned but what is wrong with django and htmx? Works beautifully and fast, send only rendered code to the front. Have db admin for when you scale

My understanding is that people prefer power bi to tableau. So that says everything.

Within the normal flight envelope this holds. But getting into a spin in a glider in ms fs shoes you the limits of lookup tables / their implementation as the behaviours is completely wrong. ( At least ask the way up to fsx)

As a non American outside of the US I’m sort of gleeful. Nice to know that this shit is done to everyone. Maybe some us based tech giants could do something about it or just not go and fuck over any non US based service

France has strong support for French (language) music. The end result is that a lot of it is pretty decent. (Sure there is complete trash, they don’t have better tastes than others) Some rappers write books that win literature prizes. Plent

No, because their neighbours would send them power. And so on. A larger grid is much stabler. It would also extend outside of the area badly affected by the snowstorm. Simple proof, no where else in the US or any other developed country doe

It seems really stupid to loose 200 billion USD in an avoidable event. And I don’t know the word for the state of mind for risking losing that again. You can but a lot of snowplows, interconnectors and backup plants for that money. Reminds

Like to add some context. The 2021 event cost north of 200billion USD and killed people. A similar event, even half the magnitude, is likely, and very bad. It is also an active policy decision by Texas. This would be easily fixed by integra

Yeah, happens quite a bit. Also just being able to dig and figure out why something is doing a weird thing happens all the time. I’d say about once a month in my team of three people, and we’re not even doing fancy stuff. Most recent exampl

You’re not going to need this for a js library that doesn’t have a saas component.

I like it. I totally get the problem projects like mongo, redis and sentry face. AWS, azure etc just eat their lunch and don’t help anybody. That will kill open source in the long run. This still gives me access to inspect the code, contrib
