My favourite piece of irony is that one of the first political allies of decentralisation has historically been the Roman Chaotic Church, one of the most hierarchical organisations on earth. During the first industrial revolution it outline

My best guess if it does succeed it will be in the public sector or highly regulated industries, probably in the EU and not the "consumer web" as we know it. Things like bank account information (PSD2), health care records, smart

I feel you bro, the struggle is real, it's a shame not all dev jobs are as inherently interesting as those at Xerox Parc in the good old days. If you enjoy tech, sometimes the best option is to code for the $$$ during the day and enjoy

I've been stuck working on a problem for the last two weeks, I know this by the lingering feeling of dread, and anyone can tell by the empty squares in my commit heat-map. How can metrics help me make progress, except to tell me to try

I'm a consultant and have a practice of asking to be paid for these kind of silliness. If the company want they can look at my github profile instead.

That called being a contrarian investor, a successful strategy at times, but investing is "Keynesian beauty competition". To win such a game, one must bet on the contestant that one thinks is considerate most fair by all, not one&

I am going through the quantum computer exercise, but one point of improvement is that it's awfully wordy. A lot of time is spend on saying they are saying how they are saying what they are saying. Better to stick to their own advice o

I think mathematicians favour abstractions more then programmers, opposite as to what the OP suggests Its like when you're coding this solution in haskell and start to wonder if the GHC is going to optimize all the intermediary data st

I always thought "Program Vector Representations for Deep Learning"[1] was an interesting combination of compiler technology (parsers, ASTs) and machine learning. [1] https://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.3358.pdf

You make a fair point, but ins't that what any educator does. I've even heard multiple teachers say "never let the truth get in the way of a good lesson". It becomes impossible to begin to explain anything if you don&#x2

I sometimes socialise with a "high on live" crowd of sober vegans. In the beginning it was a bit weird because I wanted to say "who want to get a drink" but after a while you get used to it. You just stand around and tal

Yea, that would be like me running to the night-shop to get beer and run back home, all the while holding my breath.

My take on the attitude in academia: Here we describe a set of algorithms that can solve a class of problems that previous algorithms can't. In the 60' someone published a solution to a problem we have improved upon with the novel

The the following utterance, sort of looks like the triplet data structure used in graph/knowledge databases: "Alive loves Bob" What do you know? Nothing. Was it Alice who said she loves Bob, or was it Bob who said it is Alic

Thats a fun theory, but how is that different than all the pyramids found around the word. I mean, it's sort of is the "easiest" big structure one can build.

It never fails to infuriate me how deeply this type of corruption is present at every level of the EU. Are you an industrial pizza producer? Get 200.00 euro funding to bake patatos in the pizza ovens. Want a digital agency to build you a ne
