I see a lot of youngsters use Discord sort of in the way IRC would be back in the day. I'm guessing though, as quite frankly it was never something I liked. Didn't like IRC and don't like the ones today either.

But the leading researchers are very much on the hype train. I agree that lack of knowledge only makes it worse. But feel like there's a lot more going on. Hype in of itself is a very attractive thing. For a practitioner it's hard

Uh, really wish I haven't seen it. Not exactly surprised, but I forgot how many people in the industry (and the world at large) are like that.

And for the most part when the prices differ 9 out of 10 times it's more expensive outside the US (and sometimes significantly so). Whenever I go to the US it's shopping time. Pretty much everything is cheaper. And many items you

Well the big difference is it's reasonable to assume a Mainland Chinese company could get banned or sanctioned in some manner. Now just to be fair, from what I read, there was a lot of Super Micro drama going on beforehand which likely

So correct me if I'm wrong, but the most sinister part of the story in how some might assume SuperMicro is a Chinese or a MainlandChinese-founded company. It came right around the time ZTE, Huawei and others were facing renewed scrutin

As long as the overlap with regular users is small there's no reason for why that would cascade [0]. That kind of content is usually banned/censored on most mainstream services, just letting it be will get you a non-insignificant

This, unfortunately, is how most business'y events are, unless very corporate or govt-related. Just slightly less blatant. I really envy people who have this ability to filter it all out and still feel at ease.

I'm not a big fan of this meme of porn being bigger than what it is. Tumblr was never about that and Snapchat wasn't and isn't a sexting app. The adult content that showed up was pretty annoying, especially on some tags that

And the last century has shown us that while the preference for candy/sugar might have created a big obesity problem, we're still around and there's no going back. The jury is still out whether or not it's inherently bad

Why are you learning this language? Do you have an end goal in mind? A community you'd like to participate in, etc? If you do have one you probably want to structure your learning around it. Otherwise it's like learning to program

It's relevant the way organizations like CNN are. In an age where there's very little information asymmetry and everybody's equally an expert, legacy brands serve as a credentialing baseline.

Wonder if there'd be any lisp or clojure dsl that compiles down to fairly minimal c/cpp, so that you wouldn't have to have the cuda program be a string

I usually listen to them but anyways (I had to, sorry!!) - I really enjoyed Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble. It's a very cynical take on the startup culture, which usually isn't something I'm into, but the a
