Good point. We found ways to overcome these issues, but that's a tradeoff, for sure.

Not a lot, but when your test environment is on a remote server (because it replicates the production DB and you can't have that on your dev machine for security reasons), you tend to do it a lot. Add fast compilation to the mix, and y

Isn't the bias in loss aversion the fact that losing 50 bucks out of 100 isn't symmetric to winning 50 bucks from a capital of 100? If I lose 50, I need to double my new capital to recover my former position, but when I win 50, I

You can deploy an executable on a server just by typing GOOS=linux GOARCH=386 go build foo && scp foo user@server: That's a lot of time saved, especially when you do it on a daily basis, and not something you can do as

I'm pretty sure qubex means he does not want to raise someone else's kid, let alone his own.

Thank you Steve. I'll have a look at map_err().

I don't know, most of the time, I add information to the error before propagating it: if f, err := os.Open(path); err != nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("could not open path: %v", err) } This is the vast maj

I think the safer your job/situation is, and the less debt you have, the less you need to protect your assets in case a downturn happens. I have a government job in France, which is basically the safest situation on Earth, I'm sup

Basically, if your old unit tests break, or if the post-conditions changed (in case you use design by contract), that's a new major version, otherwise, it's not. But yeah, there are counter-examples, and anyway a user can expect a

The real problem is people (including the author of the article, apparently) think ML is necessarily some kind of ultra-complicated technique that needs a PhD and a GPU. But, come on, 80% of the times you can use ML, dead-easy techniques ar

If you're looking at a way to teach a basic AI for beginners (yes, even teens), you could just try Markov chains. You can make an easy garbage text generator / automatic text-completion (à la text messages) with markov chains, th

I preferred the "try!" syntax. The ? is harder to parse visually, harder to find, and makes the language a little more complex (that's one more operator, one more thing to understand, one more thing to parse for tools, etc.)

Putting your entire life savings into one asset is always a bad idea, I thought this was a well-known fact nowadays.

I actually rarely type that very snippet. In like 3/4 of the cases, I make the error more specific, like if err != nil { return nil, fmt.Errorf("could not parse file %s: %v", path, err) } the remainder be

Then just `panic` first on all errors, and correct it as you go on. This is not really the advised practice, but if it works for you...

In all big packages I use: yes, it is. This is actually a must given there was no (standard) version management system. If you have no versioning system and don't make your code backwards compatible, you break someone else's code.

Genuine question: how is bitcoin a better inflation hedge than gold, especially in (somewhat) poor countries where making online transactions (and mining bitcoin) is not as easy/affordable as in the most developed countries?

French Revolution was also a way for the "bourgeoisie" (the riches, basically) to get the power that was still held by the aristocracy. So, actually people that had lots of money and thought they deserved to have more power.

Another virtue of non-fancy methods is that they can provide a basic explanation of their reasoning, which is very important in the medical field. I think one of the main drawbacks of deep learning is its opacity.

It comes from the time where TV and electronic devices could be either completely switched off, or in sleep mode (ie can react to remote control): the red LED made it clear the device was not completely switched off. Nowadays, this is obvio

Although I don't think living in 1 room when you're alone (or maybe a couple) in necessarily bad, I can't understand how living with a whole family in a single room can be ok. I mean, how are you supposed to have sex when you

If you like everything, or if you say "my birthday is the 32nd of February", the algorithm can detect you're trying to defeat the system, and ignore you: you become a known unknown. But if you start to like random things, or

Exactly. In France people have been convicted because they "liked" illegal opinions. As if the fact that such a thing as an illegal opinion exists was not enough of a problem, it's been decided by justice that the semantic of

Wow. Deep learning would certainly not be my technique of choice on constrained architectures, but there are situations where you don't really have viable alternatives right now, so I'm glad to see that's actually doable.

No people in charge is alive, but the company still is. It means at least some of its current assets are of dubious origin.
