This author appears to think that you need to understand the intricate details of a search algorithm, distributed computing, and machine learning before you understand what their general use is? I don’t need to understand how a car engine w

“Voluntarily” leaving due to ridiculous restrictions that the CCP knows a company won’t comply with looks a lot like “forced” to me.

I used to be on this train that tariffs are always bad, but when other countries have them I think there is a benefit to the US having them. It allows the US to capture some of the benefits that this other country is taking. Yes everyone is

I’ll need to reread some of his posts, but I don’t find this particularly enlightening. Apply has always been pure variable substitution in my mind. From this point of view, of course apply is dependent on the code snippet you’re supplying,

Yeah considering I can’t recognize people with a face mask on I’m not surprised.

Idiotic legislation is proposed all the time. I can still call it idiotic and say we need a new president. Can’t say that in either of those countries. Just because our elected leaders suck doesn’t mean they’re totalitarian.

New features are almost never opt-in. It’s way more tempting to show a high user number in a status meeting than care about user privacy.

This makes me wish I posted a few years ago when I first started at a FAANG. I was fresh out of college and worked on an email product which was in an area I was interested but quickly learned how enterprise software is actually made. There

This is the modus operandi of every startup. Consumer products look great and can really wow people until you realize all of the money is in enterprise. This is why enterprise is always the largest business segment of large software compani

Google has always been a fascinating company to me. A lot of my friends still work there and love it and my impression of their internal developer experience is that it’s top notch. This shows me though that despite them being an engineer-f

Basically the idea is that air gapped is still not secure. If someone plugs in a foreign flash drive into a computer that is air gapped one would think the data can’t leave the secure machine. With these methods though, it’s clear that any

This reminds me of how insertion sort is the most efficient sorting algorithm for small values of n. I remember new-grad me always dismissing insertion sort in every situation because of asymptotic complexity. Engineers are supposed to find

See my other answer - I meant applying it analytically. Your idea is interesting though, and I do know that it should be possible to build a Fourier transform analog circuit. Once you sample though you will be subject to having a nyquist fr

This was what I meant initially, but I realized in a lot of NNs that it might be pretty difficult if not impossible to define the signal analytically.

by mlazos 7y ago
You can also use the continuous Fourier transforms and not sample so there won’t be a nyquist rate. I also think neural networks have some really interesting properties when viewed from a signal processing perspective. In fact you can view

all I can say is the combination of visual studio + cmake + windows terminal + WSL has been life changing for me. I can have a terminal open with a WSL tab and a powershell core tab, and build both Linux and windows builds from the same rep

The way I think about it is the base case of a recursive function to evaluate the two. In order to preserve folding Boolean AND across a list your base case must be true. Folding Boolean OR across a list only works if your base case is fals

Mixing c# and power shell in the same script is amazing. You can load methods from DLLs on the command line as well. I had to do this when I didn’t have permission to run unregistered exes on a server I was debugging. Luckily the admins did

Was the reason this article was posted because of the horrible ux? I found that way more interesting than the article tbh.

I really like my workspace even though it's open, although I suppose I could get five monitors for home. I'm interested to see if I get more productive with more focus time.

The way I see it is the competition is happening anyway, why not make money from every major player in the market?

I don’t think it will. Microsoft might add another macro language but everyone is obsessed with backwards compatibility at MS and I highly doubt they would remove something as widely used as this. I used to be really annoyed by this as an e

I feel like his answer to what goes in the controller is answered by his acronym MOVE. Operations and Events go in the controller. It initiates the state changes in the model and the view. As an aside it’s cool to see something like MVC sta

I honestly didn’t find anything of interest in this post. If you already know that rust / fp in general tend to have safe and sound type systems which enable developers to encode complex relationships in the type system to prevent race

This brings back memories, I worked on a system that had to be fault-tolerant during an internship and this paper gave me a lot of insight into why some design choices (ie the number of processors) were made.

Lol I work at ms and got this wrong, oops! I think this is a recent occurrence though right?

Your argument rationalizes literally every dark pattern in ux that has ever existed. No of course there isn't a gun to anyone's head here. That's not the point that anyone is arguing. The point is that it encourages someone

It’s definitely not like extending it to the keyboard manufacturer, that’s the reddest of red herrings. They intentionally signed off on a feature that encourages a physician (in a position of trust) to prescribe opioids. The keyboard or to

I agree with most of this, but why do you think it can be duplicated so easily? Is the reason they are so dominant now because they've built a moat around themselves? IMO if it can be duplicated it will, there's so much money at s
