Not strictly freelancing/clients but I think B2B is somewhat similar... The most insightful thing that the founder of a company I used to work for decided to do was...take on less customers and grow slow and steady. This won't wor

Thanks a lot. Pinterest and the Stack Overflow translations are a great start. I'm using that + *://*.quora.com/* now and feel like my web experience is already a lot better :D

I'm pretty sure I learned that if a bus has the blinker on when leaving the bus stop you are supposed to let them into traffic. A quick check seems to confirm it (§20/5 StVO).

I'd really be interested in a good source to develop a better intuitive understanding for statistics (ideally with datasets + jupyter notebooks or something). I use statistics, I can work with statistics (even fairly complicated things

I find it more curious that the languages I know best tend to have special words for 11 and 12 that don't follow the same logic as the rest. Eleven and twelve instead of one-teen, two-teen or something. And that even leads to things li

I'd be curious how viable a strategy of "get in, network like crazy for a semester, get out" is if the plan is to do a startup from the get go. My guess is "just do the startup" is better but doing one semester migh

How would one go about benchmarking file systems for a new server with no extra machines at hand? I've ordered one for our research lab and it's not mission critical in any way and we have our sweet time to set it up. Is there any

I second this but once you are comfortable with fast.ai it's a good idea to reproduce some things in pure PyTorch eventually because it'll give you a deep understanding and appreciation for fast.ai as well.

I find this generalization a bit hard to believe. Good academic researchers should be obsessed with knowing why they do things. After all, researching the state of the art and identifying a knowledge gap is what they do. And they should als

The real way to change anything (imo) is to get the tax payers more angry at the status quo and out-inovate the current journals. Right now, I'm pretty sure most people don't care about academic publishing or even know what is goi

I have very mixed feelings on this. First of all, it feels like a patch for latent discrimination. I'd rather strive towards a world where accents matter less than fixing accents. Sure very thick accents can hinder communication but I

The most practical solution: Hire new people. Let the low-bus factor people mentor the new people to become them 2.0 (long term). Downside: Takes time (and removes mentor from tasks deemed more important short term), costs money, people mig

There's a difference between resisting and wondering if there's some evidence to look at. I mean if I was a sophisticated attacker (and this attack looks sophisticated enough at first glance) it would be my first idea to make it l

I've played it for 12 or so hours on my non-pro PS4. Had to restart once because the controls stopped working ("mouse cursor" just moved to the bottom of the screen/huge delay in input) and one time a hint overlay got st

Maybe if you stay in the ecosystem. I used an end of 2013 Macbook Pro at work that was bought for a research project. Latest hardware at the time. Had all kinds of problems connecting it to my Android phone. Apple "just works" is

Developments in this area will help (indy) game developers to prototype more quickly. I like it. Seems to be a couple of iterations from being usable but it'll get there. I'm also envisioning a Ready Player One type of online esca

For me during (CS) literature reviews it's generally: 1) Title: My research usually starts with a Google Scholar check and going through 4-5 pages and marking everything to Zotero based on title only. I only go through other databases

I don't agree Walmart would make for a textbook example. I'd argue they were/are not even a monopsonist with regard to their suppliers. They might be a strong regional force but they have failed (or chosen) to move out of the

For me, this project is the biggest FLOSS success story after Linux, xBSD and the GNU stuff. Great quality, amazing team. The best RDBMS that exists today and that includes commercial ones (imo). Thank you.

Amazing news. I pre-ordered the book a while ago and am a bit surprised (positively) it's over 600 pages now. The German Amazon page still says 350 pages btw. Worked with fast.ai for a couple of projects starting <1.0 and with the f

Very nice. How do you auto generate the bots from the game rules? I'm assuming you just have them play the game a lot against each other and use genetic algorithms/reinforcement learning (you'd need some rules about scoring)?

I think there's a big difference in using it to predict who will commit a crime (a big nono imo) vs. where a crime will be committed. For example allocating patrols by likelyhood of breakins seems acceptable to me and might even free u

On a somewhat related note, I always thought dietlibc was a pretty cool project (basically trying to get libc to be very tiny). It's been a pretty long time since I browsed the code but I remember it being quite elegant. https:/&
