tl;dr: the financial industry is distasteful. i understand what is being said here. i don't think it is revelatory. on the other hand this article just adds another small contribution to my strong distaste for the practices of the fina

I really do think its overdue. :) I owe a lot of my knowledge and understanding to having trawled through, building, modifying, cleaning up, refactoring or repurposing a lot of the publically available codes for Quake 1/2/3. Truly

It's a shame there is a huge lack of technical details here... maybe there is a profound thing that has been discovered, but I can't tell because the article is vague and describes the mundane and obvious in a grandiose style.

Do you work in the field? I agree with the main point about Monte Carlo methods here. Neural networks are a "dumb" way to stack another layer of optimisation on top of many algorithms. I won't lie there is a certain bitternes

i think its pretty true - although its not just about close minded-ness. a lot of people do associate california with kim kardashian types - which i assume to mean pretty, fake and lacking in skills beyond entertainment value. i try not to

i've always done my own paperwork and filled out the ol' tax returns and company returns. the biggest difficulty i have is the language, which wastes much of my time in google wondering what these /stupid/ terms mean whe

there is definitely a recurring problem with this sort of thinking... i think it actually hurts the whole of the tech industry. i'm glad someone else notices this though and is willing to call it out as idiotic. that is exactly what it

I don't think its a fallacious viewpoint... although you are right that there are few alternative options in this case. Generally people want to get the best value for their money - free things are the positive extreme of good value fo

to be fair this is a common opinion the world over, not just the north-eastern US. the south has a pretty poor reputation globally - i'm pretty sure its an unfair assessment given that everyone i have met from the southern US seemed li

i think you will find the vast majority of jobs require physical presence since they involve physically moving things or interacting with customers face to face. most people do not work in an office environment. iirc about 10% of people wor

this reads confused, but i found it interesting precisely because of that... the whole discourse on the over operator and compositing trees makes a real meal out of something very simple. i'm not sure that "order of compositing do

webrtc is horrible to build and integrate with a native project, even without the quirks of ios or os x to deal with. i feel sorry for whoever gets the job.
