Point is you shouldn't have to implement a stack. I have never had to do that in any language I used except C. Sounds like a nightmare.

Great book. Much better than CLRS for learning. Coming from a math background, this book made learning algorithms easy for me.

Maybe it's not as superficial, but I tend to ignore all new languages that has significant whitespace. It takes a bit of effort to learn a new language, there are lots of other languages, and I might as well learn a new language that h

For each frame, it returns a list of candidate detections with confidence values if I remember correctly. Should be pretty straightforward to make it smooth using that.

From my experience, 90% of CS undergrads hate math and don't want to do math. And make that 80% of undergrads doing "research" in machine learning. PhD is a pretty good filter to filter out people who don't like math. Al

Python's official implementation is very slow and they don't care about performance. I wouldn't try to take any lessons from the way Python is implemented.

On the other hand, his kids might have a better chance at using their gifts better. Not that failing a PhD program will put you in a bad place economically (I'd say it will put you in a worse place though) but having a stable job and e

Learning how to use chess engines and making use of them for training is actually a huge tool for chess players.

Yeah, that is convenient and I do that often. But I try to wrap the variables in different types depending on their source (e.g. whether it's a filename or file content) so that functions further down can disambiguate between variables
610.

Why would you ever do that? Why would you even want a function that accepts either a file name or file contents when both are strings? What's so hard about defining a new function?

I think you have a good point here. I see a time when programmers become somewhat replaceable and when the industry as a whole reduces benifits for programmers bit by bit. Currently, there is a huge increase in the number of freshmen joinin

I thought it was genius (and manipulative, of course). It feels like they are using language that is most persuasive to their employees.

Yeah, I couldn't find any information on it. TX2 has 8GB of GPU RAM. I don't even understand how it will work on anything reasonable without any GPU RAM..

Mathematics uses infix notation literally everywhere. Just because you prefer some notation doesn't mean people who have used infix notation since they were 5 years old will like it. Also, I avoid lisp mostly because S-expressions are

For what it's worth, the only Android games I've ever paid money for are Snakebird, Ending, Super Hexagon, and a chess training app, and if I remember correctly all four were free no ads with paid additional levels. I am the type

Juuls have been great for me. Been smoking a pack every 2-3 days for the last 2 years. I tried vaping but it gave me a headache for whatever reason. Tried juul recently and I went without smoking for a few weeks. Improved my breathing a who

But mean income per capita is what should be compared when talking about social services such as healthcare, etc. If you take a developed country, add a bunch of wealth inequality to it, and then say that you can't compare that count

I think people call it evolutionary imperative these days.

You are implying Europe is more developed than America? America has per capita GDP comparable to Europe's top countries. If not what's wrong with comparing your country's labor laws to a similar country's labor laws?

Or there will be people who gain expertise in developing software good enough that software engineering will be considered an actual engineering discipline.

Why is that a problem? The cost of business should obviously include safety concerns.

Yeah, I'm late 20s overeducated and I never post nowadays and go to Facebook once a month or so. My feed is almost dead now and none of my friends post like they used to. Decent amount of activity on Instagram though but not like it us

I was a grad student, so I might have a skewed view of these things since I have access to these subscriptions via the university library, but does anyone actually pay (especially that much money) for access to a single article like that?

Yes, I always find it funny when I see just how easy it is to pass a vote of no confidence in parliamentary systems and have a new executive government set up. While in the US you have to wait four years(!) if you want a new government even

Well some people consider their work to be as important as rocket brains surgery. I'm serious. I don't want to maintain my OS. I don't want to be interrupted by it. I want it to just work and work without any issues. Right no

Julia n-D arrays are stored contiguously in memory. So, you can access the memory by reshaping the array into whatever dimension you want and then access it using the A[i,j,k] syntax.

If Tesla has few cars per capita in the shop but their cars are newer on average than other models, then that is not a fair comparison. And where did you get the data that Ford etc. is in the shop more often? And where did you get the idea
