in my opinion the big difference and problem is that space and resources are virtually unlimited, and a "product" can keep changing indefinitely too. and if something fails, in most cases it will fail very differently than in othe

I really recommend Halt and Catch Fire. It grows season after season (though others clearly disagree with this opinion), and at least to me, it left a really nice feeling when I finished it, the feeling that it was worth the time and that i

I don't know. The problem here might be human expectations. As the article says, word2vec sometimes is "sold" with these kinds of analogies that seem so intuitive . So we come to expect the system to behave intuitively. And

maybe that's the difficult part, finding the uncommon path among all the current trends, clearly distant from these "simple" proposals. it might be easy to set up if you understand how the web works, but that understanding ge

belongingness (fulfilled) ?

yeah, I kinda agree. at least in Ruby, besides the errors bubbling up, if you had to handle the error manually, you could use the truthiness of the language to write just: do_something if err I've read the other proposals, and

this might be one of the most common misconceptions spanish speakers have about their own language. most people really believes that they have to remove accents while writing in uppercase, and not due to technical limitations, they actual

rust is great if you have enough experience to pick it up without dying trying. and you need to start reading the book. the enforced safety helps even experienced devs with a formal background to reinforce and see some concepts more clearly

well, spain... keep in mind he's only involved in the politics of barcelona, which is the capital of catalonia, which is only a part of spain. and he didn't even get that many votes, despite pairing with a well-established party a

after the elections, the mayor will continue being Ada Colau, despite ending in second place this time. the whole situation is much more complicated than that, but there's a clear majority by left-wing parties, so the plan will most li

yeah, even more, taking the example from the style guide, if lines are short enough, I love doing: case when song.name == 'Misty' ; puts 'Not again!' when song.duration > 120 ; puts 'Too long!' wh

whether you made it or not depends on what you want. you clearly have the capacity go whatever direction you prefer, so don't judge yourself based on other people's opinions. obviously you can't have everything at the same ti

Just as a curiosity, complementing what others have already written... I read part of Mikolov's thesis and code in the past (when I was still studying at the university, so I might have got everything wrong (I still don't get half

I agree that high quality software is usually more cost effective than lousily-put-together software, but not in all cases. If you are building something new, as the article recognises, or in some cases you don't have a lot of experien

I agree with your comment, I just want to add a thought regarding "social responsibilities". Sometimes I think about it, and I believe the first problem is that a lot of people fail to even help themselves, to be responsible, at l

what steveklabnik said. if I understand correctly, this is dealing with that 5 as if integers were a generic type. which is the expected "default" behavior (as in compiler design, not programmer daily use). a generic type would be

the sci-fi premise would go something like: algorithm becomes too clever, hacks the machine that contains/runs it, starts sending signals over the internet, hacking other machines, self-replicating, etc. eventually it can create robots

this keeps reappearing, but it never gets old just a random recommendation: I love to connect this from a laptop to a TV screen, connect a wireless/long cable mouse, and play it with my cousins / little kids. it's a one time

I generally agree, and it's something I asked myself very often too. It's the kind of problem that makes you wonder: "why don't I hear more people talking about it?". Well, I would expect to hear it more, at least f

Hahah, congratulations on completing the implementation! You might not believe it, but I visited the page just two days ago and saw the updates! I wanted to show mandalagaba to one of my little cousins, let him play with it for a bit. I con

I totally agree, and I believe any serious programmer should have at least some basic knowledge of the three "paradigms", as the core concepts are relevant in all cases, and there are many techniques that can be applied in differe

exactly, I feel the same way. OOP is often criticised from functional programming, but also from data-driven programming, for example. You never hear functional programming advocates criticise data-driven programming. The use cases are so d

yeah, unless you add a mode to collapse the notes out of the scale to gain a bit of space... but even then, that might be a lot of work for (still) little gain (and it kinda kills the table) EDIT: just realized that in some scales you would

Felicidades, se nota que le has puesto mucho trabajo! - personalmente, creo que usar dos colores (azul/rojo o verde/azul) seria más claro que usar solo rojo, aunque entiendo que tal vez quieres mantener el esquema de color actual.

Yes. While I agree with the idea that brains are extremely efficient, especially at certain tasks like image recognition or any kind of pattern identification, I also thought about what you said, and I was like: when doing mathematical oper

ironically, I think the example might be a bit too abstract, but it got the point across clearly (even if I don't completely agree).

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. Anyway, didn't mean to diminish anyone else's work, and I know it's very hard to tell from the outside how much each person contributed.

That's some dedication from Ran Canetti. The abstract gives the two bits of information, but it never connects them explicitly (writing is very formal): he was the author of the original paper that presented the problem in '96, an
