well no. You can write artistic code, people do that in coding all the time (in programming contests, sample code, your own code etc) but the real goal of writing code is to perform a certain task. The execution of those instructions is wha

I don't like the shakespeare analogy because not every written piece of code is supposed to be a work of art. You wouldn't write an instruction manual like you would write Macbeth. Most of the time there's really no value in

I'm not against predicting things, there's great value in them but usually there is some science behind those predictions. For example people who manufacture things usually offer a warranty period because they have a fairly accura

What is the value to predicting things other than stroking ones own ego?

Back in the day when google was growing, there were similar alarms about tracking and personalized ads. People didn't care, I doubt they would care with devices like echo too.

Isn't there supposed to be someone in charge of the situation? What you are describing is a large # of cops showed up and each one took matters in their own hands. What I would expect in a situation like this is some kind of senior off

I admire the authors optimism but this is just another wishy washy article that someone seems to to have thought up while sitting on the toilet. Her main points are, while AI will put people out of jobs "big data" can help match

I'm still surprised that police would go shooting up a place without even verifying that the situation they are supposed to be handling even exists.

I think the real question is why we want to put a man on the moon. Imagine you climbed mount Everest with no climbing equipment and then 30 years later someone asked you why you haven't done it again.

Some people get anxiety when email piles up in their mailbox and may spend a considerable amount of time sorting and categorizing their emails, some go as far as making zero inbox a thing. I would hazard to say most people don't care a

There's another attack where they just break into the house and steal the keys and drive away. It's easy since most people have their keychains close to the outside entry.

I thought maintainers did it because they are passionate, not because they are being forced to.

They had me until the part where they complained about using old versions excel. Then upgrade it, and while you are at it upgrade your windows XP machines too. Why are these companies complaining about using old software when they are the o

technically every location can become a flooding plane if you build a man-made dam in that geographic location

by jasonmaydie 9y ago
This happened to us too (different country). They intentionally held up water using the dams and caused flooding in places that haven't seen a flood in 50 years to prevent downstream flooding. It really sucks.

But the question presumes that somehow you are unhappy because you don't have enough money. What if you are already happy but more money makes you more happy? Money is not a cure for unhappiness seems like a more accurate phrase.

by jasonmaydie 9y ago
The money/happyness one is particularly interesting to me. If money does not equal happyness why am I so happy when I get more? I make more than 75k so obviously 75k isn't enough.

I think the competition is on par with Apple, maybe it should be titled "Copying Apple is hard". Ultimately, have been a lot of innovation by the competition long before Apple did it, like QI charging, large screen, multiple usabi

Hmm Hillary was an actual candidate. Russia is a state entity directly trying to influence a democratic process.

"Best people" and "good fit" means they are looking for someone with both technical and soft skills. They don't want a skilled worker who is difficult to manage or communicate with, and they don't want a nice g

That's an interesting way to look at it. Apply your comment to Harvey Weinstein and see if you can give him a pass on an "incredible waste of talent and ability"
