Incredible! Isn't this going to completely destroy trust in the shared Internet experience when scammers start using this technology to create fake profiles galore? Entire fake conversations with potential "friends" and &quot

The downvotes on this comment are odious and don't help : downvote comments that are not well-written, not merely because you disagree with the content.

Love Fortran77, by the way. Learned it entirely from the manual that came with the floppy disk back in the day; and it's amazing to me that manuals were that good. There are some modern R packages such as library(randomForest) which ar

Also, folks on the business side feel like they're missing out on something if your solution is simple. When they meet their compatriots for dinner, they come back and ask me, "We don't use AWS?". They don't care th

This sounds like a one-pixel attack, but on robotic corporate procedures rather than robotic neural networks. Corporate culture as an entity, with rules of it's own, that evolves just like a neural network trained on weights is a great

I tried it once and remember that the community was unfriendly. New users are ridiculed. "This is an app for Pros. Never in my 17 years of experience have I"...is the general tone. Just off-putting.

But is that within the city / country, or to outside the country, too? International bandwidth can be completely mediocre compared to local bandwidth. What I do is change the Server in speedtest.net to one in New York / wherever I

A minor tip : I use the hashtag #learning to annotate pieces of code which I can then revisit using a search (could be just grep '#learning' *.R | grep data.table, say) in case I'm stuck. This could work with any language, of

I love Metabase ( https://www.metabase.com/ ) and used it successfully with business users, too (small hedge fund). If it's not too much data, getting it out as .csv and using R + data.table + dplyr, etc; = incredible pr

Hi, this trick works well for me : tell yourself you're only going to start on the task and work for 5 minutes, and after that, you'll be free to give up and walk away. You'll find yourself working on it an hour later (hopefu

Hi, the equivalent here is not a UX designer telling a developer how to code, but rather telling the developer their code does not work. For example, "Hi, I clicked delete in Windows Explorer, but the file was not deleted". This i

This is super interesting. I absolutely love AHK, too. But can you please clarify how you achieve, "caps is esc if used alone, control if used with another key"? Is it based on whether the key is still down (pressed) vs. up (relea

You are right. I think the confusion arises because this Menu bar at the top mixes up the File/Edit/View menu to the left and the bluetooth and WiFi icons to the right. When you minimize all windows, what does this top bar show? H

This very discussion shows that two people can have differing opinions and thus, the choice should be left to the user. That is my main point. Now, on a completely different note : a little bit more about the Vertical layout. Here are two a

I'm reminded of the robot that goes wrong in Robocop. Except, with Reinforcement Learning, we'll have a robot that executes hundreds flawlessly until stopped. This is the kind of advancement that should be regulated, IMHO.
