How does it compare to DC/OS on Mesos? Interested in hearing from people experienced in both.

Does that really have an e-ink display? Their specs page says "sunlight-visible, transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP)" which seems to be a type of LCD that has characteristics like e-ink. Also: Thanks for Redis!

This is orthogonal to the claim. There are hypotheses that Neanderthals were actually smarter than our other ancestors, and that they were wiped out for various reasons unrelated to intelligence. They may have been less violent than homo sa

I'm also interested in this -- I've been working on something similar in spirit to these and it would be really awesome if there was some way to share ideas and get feedback. Though I also understand that they probably want to wor

I don't know if there are studies that compare those opportunity costs directly, and to me that seems like a tough experiment to set up/run properly. I seriously doubt, however, that that is an actual trade-off being made in real

The problem with not exercising for HN-types is that your brain suffers because of it. Your cognition isn't as good as it could be and will decline faster than if you exercised. Also more likely to develop neuronal disorders later in l

Ah, cool. I am familiar with AWS and spot instances, but after that comment was assuming it required multiple instances for training or something.

Like how much? If you are going to get into deep learning for real seems like it might be worth building a multi-GPU workstation?

I am sure they all have Google's ads on them, too. Only slightly suspicious.

they are rust libraries. no reason to have heard of them if you aren't learning/using rust.

I know several people in the US that have done this already. They don't really see a reason to participate in the system into which they were thrust more than absolutely necessary. Drugs and video games are how they fill their time.

Oh I see. That's cool! I do want to check it out but will probably wait for its release. And I wait with bated breath.

This looks like it could be awesome but it has almost no information about what its purpose is or how to use it.

This looks really cool, going to check it out this weekend. Thanks!

Have been using Clojure in production for several years. It is great language to work in. I have found it very suitable for solving a wide range of problems. Many companies are using it successfully. Sounds like your view of reality is base

Redshift isn't highly available (if a node goes down you have to wait for it to restore a new one, which takes hours) and only has a small subset of PostgreSQL features. It is really only intended for OLAP (analytics) processing.

It is amazing for working with Lisps. I use it for Clojure and it is great -- highly recommend to anyone using a Lisp to learn it. Though you'll miss having it in other languages. Not sure what it is like for other tree structures.

Without children the human species will simply die. If that's your goal or an accepted side-effect of your goal, then Antinatalism makes sense. If you don't want humanity to die, then it is far too simplistic and it would actually

Programming is a very general skill that can be applied to almost anything and it has a low barrier to entry. In the view of those promoting programming education it is a skill that everyone should have the opportunity to learn -- more akin

I don't know whether either of these set out with the idea of creating the Primer, but they seem similar. Osmo - https://www.playosmo.com/en/ - seems pretty cool. Uses the iPad camera and packets of materials for

I write Clojure every day and enjoy it. I think Hickey/Nolen have clarified many ways of thinking about programming problems for me. I've learned a lot from them. But this level of marketing spiel can be off-putting -- especially

This seems like a great idea. Great way to keep news/journalism business models pure while promoting awareness of whats going on in the world.

To know that Jessica Livingston has experienced this and feels this way is extra disheartening.

I am slightly disheartened that you would consider running something on a linux machine with cron "devops" ;). You can also have Lambdas execute commands on EC2 instances. This makes it easier to run non-web-app code in response t

You almost certainly wouldn't use lambda for that (the last option I've listed is a case where you still could). You have several options. For many cases like that you should just have an EC2 instance that you run jobs on -- this
