Yeah, you read it correctly the second time :) >That is very unlikely to happen Well, my co-worker says people are working on it. I asked him whether I should try to adopt Julia and "not until autodiff is in the standard library&quo

Also you can make an email app with the Qt toolkit they released! It doesn't require super fast refreshes like the drawing app, so you should be able to make it work. Email can be distracting from studying a document though.

Then I envy you. Mine crashes about once a week, always when taking notes.

To be honest, I prefer to use an automated checkout. With a cashier, I'm always stressed because I have to put the items in the bag as quickly as they scan them, to avoid delaying the queue and wasting the cashier's time. In the a

Parent never claimed the wall can't be built. Depending on your interpretation, they claimed it will never be built, or merely claimed that Boris isn't obsessed with a wall.

The title of the piece is "Miners aren't your friends", implying that the interests of miners and the reader differ. However, the title of the HN submission is "Miners aren't friends", which implies that the in

Yes, but you can't easily avoid doing linking in the local machine, because the output of linking depends on what system libraries there currently are. Also, it doesn't need _that_ much memory. You're still doing all the CPU-

I disagree. From the end section of "real-world usage examples", there is this library https://github.com/mrocklin/multipledispatch/ that implements "Decorators for registration. It's used in a

Interesting. I see how that can follow, for example, from the bit about her friend who won the hackathon lottery. Also from the "What is it like to be fun? What is it like to feel like you’ve earned this?", though she writes that

This is intriguing and aesthetic and I've read it until the end because of that, but I didn't understand it. Is this the story of the author, who quit a startup? Why did she quit? She writes that she believed in her company's

You expect, or you want? These words often mean different things.

"It'll change one" -> "it'll change once" It took me 15+ seconds to make this correction and parse the last sentence, here's it so that you don't have to spend them.

Yes, author, but now you learned! Also, next time, you can build a Hackintosh in a shorter time. I'm also kind of amazed at the "4K display is not large enough" section. That would be a screen about 4 times the size of my cur

Semi-relatedly and unfortunately, AI research is locked-in to NVIDIA (on Linux) because all the big lienar algebra and autodifferentiation frameworks work only with CUDA.

ICLR* (IC Learning Representations) but yeah. I had to check whether there was something called "International Conference on Reinforcement Learning".

Possibly, but PG's submarines do not directly pay the outlet. Instead, a contact at the hired PR agency contacts some newspapers reporter and gives them something that could be news. Of course, the reporter wants to publish interesting

Well, the comparison by Peter Norvig makes Python and Lisp look pretty similar ( https://norvig.com/python-lisp.html , also linked below in this thread). In some cases, you can get around no-first-class-identifiers in Python

My first thought on seeing the python-lisp HTTP bridge diagram was Hy http://docs.hylang.org/en/stable/ . Though with Hy you don't get optional types and optimisation and SBCL.

Also, less restrictive languages are computationally harder (most of the times so hard they become impossible in practice) to formally verify.

I think you framed your anecdotal evidence as supporting the OP's statement, but also that you misunderstood such statement; and you actually present evidence against it. If companies find it hard to reliably staff generalist positions

You might want to look for a less painful and less expensive suicide method, and then proceed to not suffer and donate the money saved to charity. Wouldn't you prefer, if you could, to live for longer free of Alzheimer's?
