FIRE literature typically uses a 4% withdrawal rate. In some calculators that's the same as the supposed return on investment, some allow you to specify your own return on investment. In US index funds 4% seems like a "safe"

I took the survey and think I remember not seeing Elixir as an option. I would have definitely voted for it.

The killer feature for me was setting an "alarm" on a currently running process and getting a notification when it finished. It's not something I've seen in any other terminal. (Using Ubuntu now and missing it.)

Sorry, my questions might reflect that I don't know much about China / Chinese culture. I'm curious about compensation. Can Chinese AI researchers earn equally well in China as abroad? Or are they going to suffer from brain d

I'd like to see the answer for both Economics and Computer Science. Should be interesting.

The way I understood his tweet is that they are basically rewriting the first course with PyTorch first, so I'm guessing the content will be identical, just the notebooks now using PyTorch in the background.

I previously attempted Andrew Ng's old course, but didn't complete the tutorials. Now I would start in this order: Watch the course.fast.ai lectures quickly, just to see a lot of practical ML/AI applications. You'll see

Then HN can sell the "self-censorship index" data to data brokers... oh, wait. :P

HN can help us investigate this phenomenon by tracking how often users click on 'reply' but then shy away from submitting it.

That sounds a lot like the workflow in Dave Eggers' "The Circle". I think if you read the book you'd be less likely to implement anything like this. :P

Can confirm that the EC2 API team is still maintaining perfect backwards compatibility with the EC2 SOAP API released in 2006. It's kind of funny that the known issues are all still valid, too :P https://aws.amazon.com/

If you're still curious, this has been turned into a BBC mini-series called "London Spy". See: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/12/london...

When I first saw this site a few months ago I got quite excited. I was looking for a solution to Sybil Attacks so I liked it on github and read the whitepaper. The "Human Unique Identifier" is supposed to solve Sybil Attacks. But

Happened on mine too. In Chrome I had to re-auth with 2FA, in iOS I just had to pick my gmail account from the account list without even reentering the password. Very strange.

Pro-tip: Ultrasonic glasses / jewellery cleaners are ~30 USD on Amazon [insert affiliate link here]. I dunk my glasses into my cleaner every morning while I'm showering.

Ah, I see what you're saying. I didn't consider deeper/complex routes with parameters. This scheme seems to force route parameters into query parameters. Disadvantage: It's not RESTful. Advantage: Your route parameters a

Your comment would be more useful if you gave us that reason. "Filesystem as the API" in this case looks more like "convention over configuration" (which has worked fine for other frameworks like Rails), it doesn't

Ex-Amazonian here. I worked on the EC2 API for just over a year, and this could simply be a legacy thing. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Amazon_Web_Service... . us-east-1 is the oldest region and predates

From my experience, that's the most common fee extension. Thanks! I saw that donuts has a test EPP endpoint to try nomulus. I will probably connect to it soon for some integration testing. My only issues when using this extension: * It

It is a bit odd, but I have friends in African countries with TLDs that need to be registered via paper forms / GPG-signed emails only. This move by Google just massively simplified the barriers to entry for small countries running the

I would hate being called a bro-grammer, because for me it implies that other geeks aren't taking you seriously.
