Cashless is an utopia, pushed by disconnected from reality liberal arts academics and humanities majors. Sweden is famous for having way too many of those victims of Plato virus. Cash is a major innovation in evolution of societies and not

And the rate of errors is..? The same genome sequenced two times - how many differences between two sequences? Please, don't tell me it is none.

No, because to achieve an animal-like, or even insect-like performance is way too complex and neuroscience itself is still poorly understood. How bees know how to dance? There is no supervised learning practices for bees, no schools. How a

They literally should stop pilling up crap like kubernetes and look back at what 9P and Plan9 were and why. Especially that they have almost the whole Plan9 team employed. Making analogues of J2EE Application Servers for native code is the

The classic ed and its visual version which is called vi are really good-enough if done right. The central concept here is simple regexps bound to one key commands, and that these commands compose. This is the reason why vi is what it is.

What is interesting, the losses of those who got in after $10k could be approximated by analyzing daily trading volumes, and the sum of loses is about to exceed by far the .com loses. Such a huge loss of real, usually borrowed, money must a

Not only this. In the domain of lazy functional languages they have arrived to a similar conclusion - the only way to establish an order of evaluation in a lazy language is via nesting of function calls, which is an implementation of causal

This is what globalization is all about. Someone, lets say US and EU, do very costly and high skilled labour intensive R&D and then sell the results all around the world (just take a look at what is going on in genetic engineering and p

Western concept of meditation (mudra-holding sitting in a crowded room, wearing special yoga pants) has almost nothing to do with the original meaning, which was "let the mind stop by itself, become 100% idle, so the so called primordi

Oh, numeric astrology and probability tantras. Future is not predictable by definition. It is just an abstract concept, a projection of the mind. Any modeling, however close to reality it might seem to be, is disconnected from it, like a mo

A decent CS degree, like that of MIT matters a lot. I could give an example. Once upon a time a stumbled upon this classic article (which I re-read sometimes to feel better): https://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09&#

I know so many beautiful remote places in Himalayas - ideal for remote working... But there is almost zero demand for subcontracting or plain coding into a remote repository.

Which framework is this? Material-what? What is Google's Bootstrap alternative? It does not look like Angular (which is a J2EE all over again), at least. Update: I did some research cd material-components-web-codelabs/mdc-10

This is a common pattern - a bunch of disconnected from reality (literally, inside academical enclaves and mentally, living in a world of pure abstractions and ideas) pundits are advocating to destroy (or "reform") a vastly comple

ML is very practical. The only reasons why it did not became popular (or has not been chosen as, say, the basis for Java) are social rather than technical and actually are insults to intelligence.

Why on earth there is supposed to be even a correlation between so-called past and future (bullshitting as a business aside)? It is like predicting Trump by Nickson or, even better - predicting a next Trump.

There are actually more than one reason. I know at least two. 1. The classic Scheme based courses used to bootstrap an OO-DSL embedded in Scheme based on procedures and message-passing (you literally send a symbol by calling the object, whi

Simulation (using the tools made according to some mathematical model) is not an experiment by definition, the very same way a cartoon is not reality.

It is already a bubble. The number of no-nonsense applications (classification problems) is actually quite limited and depends on the quality of available datasets. Andrew Ng used to stress this in his courses. To apply machine learning te
