I don't think iskander though you were advocating using ML, but generally saying that the approaches _usually_ used in ML would not work in some datasets which are way too small. A 12-point dataset is not desirable _per se_, but someti

To be fair, it’s almost uncommon to say an articulated ‘isto’ in colloquial spoken language.

I would like to see a stream processing library ported to pure Python. For example, Java 8 Stream API, Scala Stream API, Spark RDD API, jOOL API. They're all similar. That is, I would like to have an iterator in Python in which I could

Not surprisingly, repeating to yourself “it’s just your first draft” is one of the tools mentioned in the book The Now Habit, which treats procastination as a symptom of an anxiety problem possibly caused by a perfectionism complex. Other c

I understand the principle, and agree with it in general. In this particular case, though, the legal system understands he did delegate his strategy by delaying his change of lawyer in a way that could be interpreted as exploiting a looph

The case in question is that he does, but he “chose” to not exert that right while it was available to him, so he delegated legal strategy to his lawyer. What seems to be being discussed (case is in the Supreme Court) is if he has the choic

That’s exactly what the guy did, but there seems to be a gray area about that, explained in the article.

While I don’t advocate the use of these terms in every situation, it’s hard to have all ends in mind and to carefully choose which tool should be applied to each end. That may be why these properties are used as goals. Easier to spot, easie

Makes total sense. In fact, there’s a book called The Now Habit by Niel Fiore which advogates this structure (“guilt-free play”), which I can recommend.

What do you suggest using for API documentation? Genuinely curious.

The priests might have convinced themselves that the 'holes' in the system were the wordly vehicle through which God would show his will. Which, by the author's logic, is actually the point.

On the management side, I'm curious what you mean by "most of the server are not managed by you anyway". In my experience, unless you're in a very big company, you are either managing or at least minding the server, or

I get you. Neither was I. But at a certain level, words are arbitrary and imperfect anyway. In your own example, "cloud" is often regarded as a bad term, because it tends to abstract away too much that it's just "someb

Someone does, but not you . Obviously, there's a server somewhere which runs your code. But since you don't deal with it directly, it's mostly as if there was no server - since it was abstracted away form you so yo

by ralmeida 9y ago
In a very literal sense, you're not wrong. But the concept of a serverless architecture (as of common parlance today in 2017) has a lot of nuances which are hard to convey in any single word. So eventually people picked one. Today,

On a first moment, possibly. After that, we would see how free the market really is. If it's reasonably free, the market will self-correct and prices will decrease. A thought experiment: you have a business; now everyone has money; the

Codementor.io would also fit the bill, in addition to what has already been mentioned.

by ralmeida 9y ago
That would be the major fundamental problem, yes. Another more logistical (but still very important) problem would be the costs of availability. Digitizing, categorizing, paying for storage, etc, could create a spending issue.

I second the recommendation - not too deep to make your commute mentally tiring, but still useful enough that you learn new things (even as starting points). Covers a wide range of topics, from machine learning to infrastructure, which may

It doesn't matter whether the medallion is a safe investment or not. Wikipedia tells me a NYC medallion was worth around 500k in late 2016. Median household income in NYC is around 50k, so that's 10 whole years of gross salary

by ralmeida 9y ago
But then at least you build equity on the car, right? Also, if you already own a suitable vehicle (which is arguably easier than owning a medallion), you wouldn't need the mortgage?

Not sure how the values for a taxi license compare to a NYC "medallion", but Brazil does have expensive licenses as well. Anecdotally, most taxi drivers I've met rent the vehicle from someone else (don't have hard data o

Not only 'learning Docker' is a pretty solid reason, it's not even that bad an idea. I have spun up containers for simpler stuff, like when I couldn't install a certain library because Anaconda messed up the install of

by ralmeida 9y ago
Maybe. We taught our support people how to install Docker via Docker Machine, and while that is resource-intensive and sometimes they come with questions, it did reduce the complexity of deploying new internal tools to them.

That may be true, but should we then stop trying to evolve technology? The idea of any advance is to either keep quality and reduce costs (time and money investment), or to improve quality. Since by your opinion, the Internet already works

The throttling is done client-side, yes. But it's a numbers game - if you enable "official" direct unthrottled downloading, this would bypass the client throttling, effectively increasing network requirements. Of course, this

Aside from what is already mentioned in other posts, there would be logistic concerns to enable downloading in a large scale. By assuming the content will be watched by a human, they can throttle buffering to transfer only what's neede
