I was hoping there would be discussion of this point higher up in the thread, because I had essentially the same reaction as you while reading this passage. I'm no expert of machine learning, NLP, or linguistics, but this struck me as

I was also struggling to convey this point. I think you've hit the nail on the head.

You've gotten a couple responses making arguments that the atoms required for a language like lisp are fundamentally simpler than eval in Perl and that makes the difference... Fwiw, I don't find these arguments very compelling. It

It's one thing if you have a source of revenue so justify your S3 costs. My interpretation of the parent commentator's concern is that this person has opened up a multi gigabyte S3 file publicly and sent lots of traffic its way (v

I don't think using an IDE to catch lots of stupid simple mistakes is bad. It's how I prefer to work. > It looks really strange to me to observe other developers constantly compiling and running their code just to see if it wor

One can't help but wonder what kind of a person would tweet their "apology" for unintentionally defacing the entirety of Scots Wikipedia in more broken Scots. Seems... Insensitive, no?

Thanks for clarifying that for me!

Lots of good suggestions in here. One I haven't seen mentioned yet is NileRed for those interested in chemistry ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFhXFikryT4aFcLkLw2LBLA ).

Personally, I'm impressed by how the image dimensions were mapped to the image, not the fact that it can be done at all. There are plenty of boring and simple ways to map dimensions to an image. This was clever and well-implemented, im

I stopped reading a few paragraphs in when all the author had managed to convey was how great they are. I also find it strange that someone so competent who wants to remain anonymous would reveal so much information about their situation in

"Hellman's doesn't resemble the real stuff" That's a little exaggerated, don't you think? I'm no mayonnaise expert, but those lists of ingredients look pretty similar to me.

Are you suggesting that ruby's design is more broken than PHP's?

Although I agree with others that the video leaves a bit to be desired, I thought I understood the point well enough and was looking forward to trying it out... Then I attempted to do just that and was instantly greeted with "INTERNAL

Even if this system worked flawlessly as intended, doesn't it disincentivize getting to 1000+ karma? Unless I'm misunderstanding, your most active users don't seem to get any benefit (they see all the comments, good and bad,

"dispatching out to functions to handle each opcode carries unnecessary overhead in what should be the tightest loop in the project" How about inline functions or macros?

If you only ever need to chunk a list into 3-tuples, sure. If you want a general solution for chunking a list with zip and an iterator, this solution doesn't scale (look at hartror's and bjourne's posts for something that doe

"To my knowledge, nobody is putting forth the worldview that men are being terrorized by women destroying lives." I got the opposite impression from the OP. To me, this post practically screamed men's rights. It's dripping with hyperbole (p
