If you're drawing a Venn Diagram of "ways to commmunicate" in two dimensions, sure. If you're thinking about humanity and ethics and the way each of those skills is valued by a community in transition, the ellipsoids don

I related to much of what he was saying. Between the lines I felt what was going unsaid. So I brought experience and humanity to the discussion. I am not seeking validation. > A leader has people skills above all else. Leadership skill

Aka "my technical skills outshine my people skills and I'm highly motivated to get things done." I'm guilty as charged as well. It's ... exhausting. But it's also the exact set of personality flaws that results

Sigh. This is one of those situations where the world has received so much benefit and they didn't realize it until that person finally got fed up. FFmpeg is sort of an ongoing disaster, but it reflects the nature of media on the web,

F# type providers. Quick entry point: http://tomasp.net/blog/fsharp-data.aspx/ It's kinda awesome. C# provides similar (but somehow less fun) stuff via LINQ providers. Search "LINQ to [noun]" and yo

2012? How about 1967, the year the 1-800 number was invented. The web is "free" because the other side is footing the bill. Quick, review the Amazon S3 bandwidth pricing chart! Now calculate how much bandwidth you're using vi

You said "polyglot on Linux." And then you describe languages as follows: > - Languages must be approved; right now it's just Node and Mono (soon to be CoreCLR) I'm not a troll but dude, those aren't languages. T

"polyglot microservice architectures" eh? Hey Bill! We've got 20 years of legacy code that handles everything from Arrivals Boards to seat assignments in 1627 different aircraft configurations. We got a room full of .NET devs

I was there. EA optioned one of my games in 1989. Even the Wiki article gets it right: "In the late 1980s, the company began developing games in-house and supported consoles by the early 1990s." They were a publisher and sort of a

The tools and libraries from Microsoft are so solid that frankly you don't need an entire class of open source projects. I don't need to "contribute" and "socialize" with some Python craziness named after a dol

Yes, and that's exactly one of the things Satya talks about. If people are using Outlook as a Gmail client on iOS and it's enforcing corporate data retention policies via Azure Active Directory then who cares how many iPhones sold

We live in a culture where "take your work home" is accepted however "bring your toys to work" is not. Bigger picture Microsoft has far more consumer than Apple has enterprise. The takeaway from Satya is "Look, we d

I'm not sure how an article about Trip Hawkins could possibly take this tone. Trip's approach to business is legendarily eccentric/arsty/wacky -- for better and for worse. A business mastermind he was not. A man with a c

Microsoft's compiler has been ALL OVER THIS for 20 years. Nothing says "buggy port of Linux app to Windows" faster than "#pragma warning (disable: 4018)". Clang is catching up. GCC doesn't seem to care as much.

I agree that two comments upthread is inappropriately personal. Several people downvoted all my comments in bulk, including the one below that's a purely technical explanation of using multi CPU/GPU caffee. I personally do not car

Actually multiple instances of CAFFE rendering these models is working well for me. I'm paralleling 16 processes across 8 GPUs and everything fits. (Training might not work as well.) Spot instances are great until the random hedgefun

This is exactly what standard sheet music does. A "C" chord can be C-E-G, which makes one shape on a piano keyboard. It can also be "inverted" to E-G-C or G-C-E. These form distinct shapes and it takes about a week to le

So does a deck of flash cards. If you learned multiplication tables you can learn to read music. And if you can play video games you can play piano. And it's NEVER too late to learn.
