Completely agree. Python users shouldn't run standard loops in any scientific computing. Only valid examples are looping over a set of http parameters in a web app... In which case, the computation will definitely not be the bottleneck

Looking at this issue more broadly, I definitely agree that non-IT industries need to take into account Agile methodology to improve their results. I've been looking for the reason why IT has come up with Agile before anyone else (I do

Yeah, my thoughts exactly when I read that part. It's not news, companies go away because they make repeatedly bad changes, one after the other, thinking they're doing the best ones. I think German automakers are simply too late f

Henri Poincaré once said: "Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things" I know the temptation is great to give lots of examples while teaching math, but you get the risk of only teaching little examples to s

Nice write-up ! If you don't mind me asking: have you considered using Numba to optimize your sklearn code ? It works wonders for vectorized code (like your distance metric function).

Exactly. This is a huge attack. The amounts paid don't mean a thing.

I don't think Github are looking to implement the whole CI process. They want to host code and integrate neatly with other CI providers. I think that makes much more sense (why abandon Travis or Heroku for the sake of having "one&

Why ?

by mbaha 9y ago
Looking at your needs, I'd say the two would be identical. I'd even advise you to use a "higher-level" service like a PaaS (I find Heroku great) or even a MBaaS (like Firebase).

I strongly think this is the future we're heading at. Especially with the new iOS 11 changes. I mean, the only thing keeping me from using an iPad for everyday use is I can't do any code in it. Aside from that, everybody is alread

Hi :), I'm part of a team that spent the last two years organizing job fairs. The thing we've noticed is that while they're a great way for recruiters to reach out to candidates looking for jobs, these type of events didn&#x2

They basically support the whole transport industry. First-class seat planes account for 10% of usage and 30% of revenue. That's huge.

Yeah, it seems like nobody has ever tried booking a hotel from a direct channel before. Customers don't want to go through the hassle of "discovering" a half-baked website filled w/ pretty little quirks. This worsens the

I completely agree. To those pointing out the Sabre/Amadeus "debacle", a few benefits as a reminder: * To innovate, the GDS only think about how the messaging should be differently handled. * To buy a ticket, an airline/

Yes. It is greyed out though. I hope it's not a trend for HN.

Can you please elaborate ? SV seems like the place to be, but I lived in a cheap french city for the past 5 years, and I'm sure living in SV has its downsides in terms of quality of life. Bonus: please include numbers :).

I didn't understand your comment. 1) Do you think cookie notifications are a bad thing ? 2) Do you think it is web bureaucracy ? If so, laws protecting every european citizen with digital neutrality are also bureaucratic ?

I completely get where you're coming from, but you also have to acknowledge for example that Docker is open source. That's not a trivial add-on to IBM mainframes, it provides every developer (w/ minimal resources e.g a laptop

Their tech is not open enough to even allow for proper innovation and differentiation. That's the main issue with legacy IT. When you live in a world w/ Docker, REST (and every other open tech there is), you can build systems whic

I hope this will help in reducing bias in the recruiting process, but your statement is a prime example that we just want to move the problem somewhere else in the career pipeline. We won't achieve parity in the workplace simply becaus

This. A million times this. I think at this point the tech community should be vocal about this issue. Tech has improved ten-fold this last decade, and IT consulting services simply don't care because they profit hugely from it. What
