This looks like some nice code examples, but it's worth pointing out that Spacy's website has really well-written documentation with plenty of code. For example, their page on generating word vectors: https://spacy.io&#

I can't take this genre of tech/opticon commentary seriously when they remove all human agency. Reading this argument, there's an implicit judgement that (1) humans have no choice but to be influenced by Facebook, and (2) oth

I wish the authors had broken down the statistics better, but on the whole it was refreshing to see a discussion around college not focused on the same few elite private universities. The way we as a culture tell stories about college is so

I also couldn't put my finger on any specific difference, but it really does feel like the halls have a magic to them. (current undergrad, I'm sure you have more insight into what's going on)

MIT is in the process of converting its brand's value into money. It's interesting, because the brand is so strong that they probably can announce even more stupid "quests" and "initiatives" and "labs&quot

This is a really good writeup, thanks. I'm curious -- how often are google support faq articles deeply technical like this?

They aren't frontrunning their customers. Their whole brand is being the one trustworthy option in a world of scammers; they already make a fuckload of money off of transaction fees, no reason to throw out that trust and ruin their cas

I think that's a situation pretty far divorced from our current reality, but I see your point.

1. Get your full name as a .com (victorvojnovski.com) 2. Put any real content on it. Maybe a blog? Helps to have links back. 3. Wait a few years. 4. Success!

So many new guides to `this` in the comments here. Not sure why this blog post exists either. I agree with most people that JS is confusing to people who are used to OOP programming in Python or Ruby, and that "this" is one of the

Got any links to similar exercises? I'm also early 20s, spend most of my day sitting at a desk, have dealt with backpain for a few years. Pullups (especially wide-grip) have helped but I'd like to know some stretches, too.
