Regardless of whether they do, the tech that underlies modern image classification approaches (i.e. deep neural networks) is pathologically hard to understand to the point where it's practically impossible to provide the guarantees you

Is it really right to equate a tourist's interest in accommodation with a resident's interest in a strong community?

Why can't React devs use Om or Fulcro? Lots of Fulcro was inspired by Om, but it's at least mostly, if not entirely, a rewrite of David Nolen's code, and the ideas and capabilities of Fulcro now go well beyond the scope of Om

All this, and if you have really complicated state, check out Fulcro, which gives you a normalized database in your browser, among other things: https://book.fulcrologic.com/

It's a Clojure(Script) library, but it's still so good it's worth mentioning: Instaparse[0] generates a parser for you from a BNF-y grammar specification. Sample from the readme: (def as-and-bs (insta/parser

Am I understanding right that this shutdown happened overnight with no warning? I didn't have any investment in LiveLeak one way or another, but this gushing about how much the community meant to the team rings a little hollow when I i

Something I've never understood how to handle with vanilla web components: if there's some state that needs to be shared and kept in sync between multiple components, how do you do it? (For comparison, in React you can pass the st

Didn't Scala get both of those things from ML?

Meteor's problems were around performance and features (or the lack of them) IMO, which are not in principle ones that will crop up if you try to unite a stack around a single language.

Adding to this, it's also not idiomatic to use an infinitive for a purpose clause in Latin. ire cacare ought to be i ut caces ('Go so you might shit').

I can't speak to the others on the list but it seems odd to say Clojure isn't being used widely in production. Clojure's been powering big businesses for years now and Nubank, which primarily uses Clojure, is valued at $24bn:

I get what you mean by the GPUs are overrated comment, which is that they're thought of as essential in many cases when they're probably not, but in many domains like NLP, GPUs are a hard requirement for getting anything done

Right, though there are some additional caveats, e.g. that it can't be used to implement TCO for mutual recursion

Catullus on the front page of Hacker News, huh? Had the pleasure of spending most of Latin class in my senior year of high school reading him. (Or rather, the poems of his that our teacher could let us read without getting pearl-clutching p

What if NumPy and SciPy were part of the Python stdlib--would this change your view at all? (Note that for the majority of Python's scientific users, this might as well be the case, since they're using Anaconda to get their Python

Listening to music with lyrics is already hard for me when I'm writing code, but listening to a podcast is unthinkable--what kind of podcast? Don't you get distracted by the people talking?

It is a racial stereotype, because it literally invokes race. It's also not positive if it helps reinforce beliefs that Asians are unreflective drones that are good at piano and math but lack personality and originality.

Perpetuating racial stereotypes isn't inappropriate?

I'm surprised to hear you had such a bad experience with mount--it's always struck me as one of the greatest exemplars of what Clojure allows you to do that would be impossible in Java. Managing fundamentally stateful components w
