Not only just the environment dependency, but also human dependency. Being able to script in bash is considered a skill that any sysadmin would have. If you write bash scripts you can pretty much assume any sysadmin can read/write it.

Believe it or not, the science subreddits often contain high-quality comments that range from beginner/simplest to probably peer-level language.

I suppose you could have people just walking around with go-pros on, capturing whatever falls in its field of 'vision'. That way, the corpus isn't the subjects that people find interesting, but something more like everyday th

Question for the HN audience: what exactly would Deep Dream do it if were trained on 'everything'? When it came out, people asked why its output was full of puppyslugs, and the answer was "Because it was trained primarily on

I've always thought the only realistic way life would spread throughout the galaxy would be by engineered space-faring cells. Being synthetically created, they would technically be human offspring.

I wasn't thinking so much as the 'creator' aspect of it, thanks for pointing that out. But as far as equality, nastiness, brutishness, shortness, and amazingness, they are value judgements that originate from human beings. In

Has anyone here ever read or worked through Hrabovsky and Susskind's _The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics_? Same premise as this, I gather, but a whole book.

How about government policy allowing decent-to-well paying manufacturing jobs to be outsourced to 3rd world countries? Not that cars aren't still built in Detroit, but there was still a lot of supply chain that got outsourced. It'

I think you basically reiterate the point here: if you are in poverty, you don't have enough money for basic necessities (read: non-productive expenses); therefore, you can choose to spend any extra money on those necessities, or go wi

This has actually happened-- caveat, with deaf people (but sign language does have grammar)-- check out Nicaraguan Sign Language. Pinker has a good chapter on it in The Language Instinct.

The thing is, people don't speak they way they are taught to write, in complete sentences. Instead, they speak _in actual conversation_ in a series of fragments, which often don't end properly (we trail off, let the other complete

Since most babies tend to follow the steps of development according to a timeline (i.e. a, then b, then c, and never out of order), and typically on time, isn't this rather evidence that such neural system grow more than the physics sy

If you look at the book "Sustainable Energy without the hot air" you will find it chock full of data. Problem is, it's for the UK, not the US. But FWIW, I think the UK is more north than the continental US. http://

For the 'best practice' to work, you'd have to make your object accept an interface, in order to be able to accept one with the overridden function that you want, correct? I think this is the problem with the received-but-not

I the example you link, it looks like the top half is all comments, starting with """ on a line, and ending with """ on a line. What's confusing is that code examples in the comments are surrounded by ```,

I suspect rather that the reversed N is a take on the letter ŋ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eng_%28letter%29 ), or "eng", since that's the sound that the 'n' in 'Anglo' makes anyway

I don't think it was misunderstood; it was just a poor job of being a satire of the book. To properly criticize a subject, /you have to take the premise seriously/, which is what Verhoeven didn't do. The premise, the bas

I think the problem may be that many people see the word 'Ponzi' and jump to the conclusion that it's a Ponzi _scheme_, rather than a Ponzi borrowing situation. Not that I'm the most financially savvy person, but I'

Is the point of a musical career to get rich, or to make a living? There may not be as many rich stars as earlier medium generated, but I bet there are more 'garage musicians' who got a critical mass of fame, enough to make a care

I live in Columbus, and I looked at a bus route to work, and it was about 1.5 hours one way, with a transfer. For me, it's a 20 minute drive to work. Also there is not service to/from most of the suburbs.
