Not sure if it's the same issue I had recently with iTerm2 periodically going black, but consider disabling the Core Text renderer with the following command: $ defaults write org.vim.MacVim MMUseCGLayerAlways -bool YES This was the de

Some of you might recognize Daniel Friedman as the author of The Little Schemer. If you liked that book, you might check out The Reasoned Schemer. Short, accessible, and a bit mindbending, it offers a compelling introduction to logic progra

Hope your analysis yields interesting fruit, and that it makes it to a forthcoming front page. My hunch is yours, I've noticed that what I perceive as "pleasing" vertical indent for example can usually be expressed exactly as

Nice to see a preexisting model ship with the code. Always surprised me how difficult it is to find and compare trained RNNs, given how tiny a typical char-RNN model is, and how long they usually take to train. I hope in the near future it

I appreciate this. Thanks!

Definitely. I said that poorly, what I meant was "it'd unquestionably be hard in Python, and it'd even be hard in Java"

Along those lines, any idea where I might find some good, minimal examples of category theoretic models implemented in a mainstream language? I have no doubt that strictly typed functional languages have a more convenient syntax for these c

Those search engine rankings are determined to a large extent by directories.

It sounds like your struggles are with Firebase more than the actual scraping part, so I'm not sure how useful this will be. But there's a marvelous demonstration of Clojure's ability to render and serve a scraped digest of t

Could someone paraphrase the argument for learning Kotlin? I understand it's essentially Jetbrain's fork of Java, motivated to some degree by the desire to provide useful realtime information to programmers working in the Jetbrain

I respect the choice not to use a framework. I keep flirting with the idea of posting some of my trained char-rnn models online, in hopes people find them amusing and possibly share theirs in turn. Trained RNN models aren't small, but

FYI to Mac users: brew install youtube-dl works just as well.

"Inject into" is their wording. The meaning is unclear. Is the goal to disable a working installation of Little Snitch?

Your post gave me deja vu to an automation workflow I cobbled together a few months ago, which I found wonderfully productive for steering a bot: Vimperator keybindings. Selenium can use most of them right out of the box. It's a terrif

Any suggestions for a bash scripting tutorial to help me better connect the dots? Over the years I've learned some nifty one-liners, but I'm not really familiar enough with the patterns and art of of command-line thinking to solve

The Wikipedia article for OLEDs mentions significant longevity problems, particularly at the blue end of the spectrum. Has Apple indicated anything about the lifetime of the touch component?

Sighted person here. I'm very interested in this question. Most developers I know are not considering accessibility as part of the intrinsic design of an app. Blind people are more keenly aware of this problem, unfortunately, because i

How's Blender's support for WebGL? I use Three.js quite a bit to make fun little animations, and for what it is I think it's the bees' knees. But for me, the lack of GUI means it remains slightly more time-consuming to b

This makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation.

I know how to change the default search engine, but the settings don't persist from session to session (at least not when the browser is launched from Selenium).

Most notably, for me, I'm stuck using Yahoo as the default search engine. I can change the default to Google, but the preference resets when the window closes. Edit: It appears only browser instances launched with Selenium are affected

When I think 'fiber,' I think of a fast, tensile, vaguely biological apparatus whose overarching job is to shunt. For an edgy, thundrous, monosyllabic word, 'Shunt' works quite nicely for an ISP I think. It's fun to

10TB Amazon AWS is around $85-100, depending on how international your users are.

Good luck. A Ph.D. student of my dad's developed some great tech Google was interested in, and was in buyer's talks to purchase. After a bunch of negotiation, they agreed to a price in the low 7 figures. Awaiting notarization. In

" Get rid of the forms and it's basically your word against theirs in court." Isn't that the ideal situation to be in, if you're the defendant? The burden of proof rests on the employee to prove discrimination. From

Thanks for putting this together. This looks like a fantastic tool, and really well-documented. I noticed from a quick perusal of the docs that Luminus still requires a handler function to map URLs to a named page asset (about-page, home-pa

Diving into clj/s 4 months ago was such a wonderful, arbitrary decision. The #clojure community on Freenode is friendly and wildly clever. They are delighted to answer your Clojure questions. The language itself is great. It's a

You're being too cynical. What brand wouldn't love to be seen enabling the downfall of a nefarious authoritarian regime? It is an advertisement more powerful than anything drafted on Madison Avenue.

I've been feeling the past few weeks the repeated impact of hitting a wall. Programming was starting to feel like grinding. I felt wistful for SICP, when programming was full of big ideas and elegant new approaches to problems my unpri
