   I’m really interested in what you feel about the potential applications of CS/ML to sociology. Or if you might have any resources that talk about that. I ask because I’m enrolled in a research program in “computational humanities”. My

   Is there a similar study done on the physical sciences? I’m getting a bit of holier-than-thou feeling from this article. Edit: from all this talk of reproducibility, I wonder what percentage of cutting edge ML research is reproducible (eith

   > You won’t get anywhere at all if you try to enter the field without a mathematical background. Unnecessary gatekeeping. There’s a lot of engineering-oriented research that has nothing to do with math.

   does tor’s problem with large amounts of data stem from a lack of operators or the nature of tor itself?

   wow this is pretty ingenious. the only problem is that i think tor has traditionally been a low-bandwidth network?

   My main gripe with Nim is that documentation (even for the standard library!) is in absolute shambles. Not to mention the lack of an ecosystem. I think that authors of Nim libraries get so tied up in their superiority over having types and

    Is the author sad because Python 3.8 is fixing things? What would he rather have them do? Not fix things? Or is he sad because millions of people around the world use Python instead of his shiny new esolang where he’s managed to get all the

    Great game and it gave me quite a few insights into how systems should be designed.

    I just looked through Google DNS’s privacy policy and what you claim seems incompatible with their claims: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy Do you have any concrete evidence of what you claim

    Is that because the libraries you link to are gigantic? Even so, the compiler shouldn’t be compiling those parts of the libraries that aren’t being used, right?

    NextDNS does basically the same thing and is pretty easy to use.

    What are some production websites that run Python stacks? I’m curious. On a tangential note: if anybody has blog posts on scaling Flask/SQLAlchemy or Django stacks I would appreciate it.

    I think what excites me most as a Rust newbie (~2 weeks) is the ability to write low-level and performant code and at the same time be ensured a fair amount of safety by the compiler. Something that Python/C++/Go cannot offer me.

    Just a guess but probably because Nim uses a garbage collector and probably doesn't make the same memory safety guarantees that Rust does.
