I love Discord and have been a nitro subscriber for a while now, but I'm disappointed at their responsiveness to bugfixing. One of their latest updates added a really frustrating regression where emoji autocompletes are spellchecked on

Saying ML is "just linear algebra and calculus" is a gross simplification. As a dev, you can pick up some popular ML frameworks and learn the basics relatively quickly. The difficulty in this field comes from the amount of theoret

Really interesting article seeing how I'm finishing up my own DCGAN project! Generative models like GANs are fascinating, but very temperamental to train. Some of the findings in this paper mirror my own observations - increasing the c

This was my question as well. I believe the scope of this project is to interpret Python bytecode using Python.

A lot of the arguments complaining about the iphone's notch are missing two points: 1. The notch is necessary to house faceid sensors that no current android phone with a notch has 2. The notch isn't cutting into the screen, the e

What's different now is that we're seeing huge mergers between telecom companies and media companies. The internet is more vital to everyone now than compared to 15 years ago. Every year more and more people are choosing to eschew

I believe we'll see more interesting solutions in industrial IOT when 5G becomes more widespread and industries can start touching problems that lower latency and higher bandwidth wireless can tackle.

I currently work at Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent/Bell Labs/foo and there's a lot of restructuring going on. Lots of layoffs and org changes which is making everyone's head spin and adding a lot of uncertainty into the workp

I'd say cost. All the author did was remove the cpu lid and replace the cheaper thermal paste with a better after market brand.

Billable hours are the work of the devil. I remember my boss explaining how "I needed to work back all my vacation hours" was a good thing.

A French press works perfect for me. The cold brew has too much silt which instantly fouls the coffee filter.

Yes! They also have a museum and a showcase room. I was able to see the first transistor. I believe they're reconstructing Dennis Ritchie's original office. They still have his chalkboard too.

Exactly- risk aversion is the driving force. When I was a civil engineer, paper was king. It's wasteful printing 5x copies of one 1000+ page spec, but it's reliable. I did write a shop drawing automation program when I worked at t

I live in Bayonne and the truck traffic is horrendous. Not only is the congestion from the port to the toll plaza bad, the traffic on the two lane highway getting onto the turnpike (and especially the turnpike bridge) is awful. I'm cau

The issue with PATH is that the tunnels are extremely old - older than the Manhattan subway tunnels. Whereas Manhattan subways have two tracks per tube, the PATH has only one. Service is not only slower, but you usually wait significantly l

As a (now former) wastewater engineer, I'd take sanitary sewers over septic tanks anyday. With septic tanks you run into many more maintenance issues with things like clogging, overflowing, cleaning, etc. Not to mention this cost is bo

If you're serious about writing a parser, why not go for a bottom up parser? It eliminates a lot of the headaches with top down/recursive descent parsers like left recursion and backtracking.

The two other books in the series (Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive) are both great as well, but I found that the first had the most magic. In the same vein, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson is great as well. Its essentially a parody of cybe

Seeing this list inspired me to write about the list I keep for the books I read, many of them cyberpunk/scifi. After reading so many of these types of books, you can't help notice their elements in other media. It's interest
