Not really a bug in most cases but the assumptions made by the lib that cannot be changed. Also, sometimes more data doesn't help much so this is somewhat relevant even for spark users.

Or a sign that you should try something else. Not everyone can succeed at everything. Obviously it is best to recognize that as early as possible in the endeavor.

I imagine it being much more competitive for us if it was the case. I'm actually very happy that not many people know how to code or have the interest in it. It almost feels like we have unfair superpowers.

Other ways require more energy. Many people don't like answering questions about themselves or filling out a profile so they flock to the quick meet app. Honestly, I think it's completely their fault for expecting a long term rela

This should be in the onion. Women use an "I'm not going to be serious" app and complain that all the men on it don't want to be serious.

I think using machine learning for this purpose is equivalent to using stereotypes or intuition to make such decisions. The reason people don't want to use stereotypes is that we might end up in a positive feedback loop when stereotype

Does anyone know why they decided to go with just a 4 megapixel camera? I guess they could settle for taking more narrow images and recombining later but it seems better to take one image and crop if they are just interested in small parts.

I would get ThinkPad W550s instead. Plus you can get 32gb RAM unlike most laptops.

You can't use conda in many (most?) cases. Specifically, there aren’t conda packages for every Python package. And if there are, they are behind their pip alternatives in many cases. Sometimes you then need to fall back to pip. Howev

I like the idea of such a guide, but the resources currently there can be picked up by someone in less than a day of using postgres. It is a good start however as it covers the basics well except for installation/setup. I think that se

I really liked StumbleUpon exactly for this feature until they ruined the product during the monetization phase. Edit: Having comments is really important. Maybe marked by color of source (blue for reddit and orange for hacker news) and sep

I love numba, but I am never successful at compiling it. Using the Anaconda distribution results in some issues as that distribution is not compatible with some other libraries and requires installing everything through conda. Most packages

Unless you do the "refresh firefox" thing that shows up every time you have 5 addons installed. The above experience is on the developer edition of firefox, as I haven't tried it on the normal stable release.

I think problems are hard when you are new to a domain. After you get some practice, nothing there is really that hard. For me, the first hard thing was implementing this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead-end_eliminat

It is very much application-dependent. For games they might be similar, but that's about it. AMD cards tend to have much better integer performance, which is good for cryptography-related tasks. NVidia has way more RAM + better float p

There are some papers that claim it yes, but there are meta analysis papers that take those into account as well and overall conclusion is that it doesn't help with "fluid intelligence". One can develop new skills though just

I disagree. A lot of code that does very little. I prefer sklearn like https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/master/skl... A lot of code that does a lot. Bottle is nice on the web dev front.

He probably means that it's not backwards compatible with bash, so you have to make it a fish script to run it as fish script.

Same. The videos take forever to load because they're loaded in a lazy fashion so they don't begin being downloaded until you are looking at empty space. Also it seems like each one is several megabytes in size.

Video game addiction can be much much worse than regular drugs. It depends what a person is more susceptible to. Sometimes games ruin relationships, cause people to lose friends and destroy academic careers. Giving up the game is almost i

There have never been any communist states. In western countries communist state refers to states with Leninist-Marxist ideology that some would argue are in fact not even socialist states. My argument is that we don't have to create

"absence of state is true for anything involving wide area networking" I agree, but I think we are talking about different things. Regarding money, you can be paid a thousand dollars every day for writing FOSS and putting it on g

I think you are conflating the two because of the case of Soviet Union. A) Soviet Union was not communism. Communism never happened. Communism/communist society is an ideal. B) Soviet Union was a totalitarian state, yes. C) One of the

I agree, but two points regarding need: a) people make stuff that they need themselves and share it so in a way it is need-based. b) yes it doesn't work in situations where there is need but no ability. I am guessing such situations a

Just because we have this conversation and there is some indignation over companies not contributing back to the projects they use shows that we expect them to contribute according to their ability. I agree that it isn't perfect like e

Communism does not stipulate that there is no organizational hierarchical structure. Absence of state is true because within the microcosm, you can contribute from anywhere in the world and receive the software for free as well. Basically
