I’m looking for actual research. I’m wrapping up some work on a stripped-down version of the lenet architecture and extemely low resolution non-representational data (3x3 greyscale pixels). The results appear to be better than chance and I’

Matches my experience as well. It was a great language for experimenting with UI design (itemrenderers anyone?). It’s a bitter pill for me swallow to have to watch it fade away.

If you research the history, you discover that the 401k was designed for the C-suite, not ordinary workers. Some calculating Wall Streeter(s) somewhere decided that it's a reasonable retirement vehicle for ordinary shlubs. It is not. S

Doubt it. Money velocity has been steadily dropping since the mid-90s. Take a look at this chart from the St. Louis Fed: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V My guess is that it will be absolutely crushed when Covid-

The triumphalist note in many of these posts makes me sad. Flash had a ton of warts, yeah I get that. But there is a failure to acknowledge the collateral damage done to Actionscript that I find troubling. Itemrenderers, the ability to inli

>I am loathe to support the attempted destruction of capitalism based on unreliable computer models. That's a whopper. Have you worked with modelled climate data for any length of time? Or at all? In a past life, I became intimately

I turned down contract work from a well-known telecom. The pay was great, unfortunately for them, I have no interest in helping them destroy your privacy. Of course, if I were desperate and had no runway, that would likely change the calcul

FWIW I've done some limited consulting work with senior citizens. Two observations: A) they like their systems the way they are, so changes of any kind (especially to the UI) are upsetting/unpleasant experiences, B) they are on fi

Watching him drop undecorated assembly code into his Holy C editor and then wrap it in a for loop was an eye-opener for me. Even more interesting was the one-line function call with a sprite object argument that is 'printed' in th
