Recently it's failed to find functions by verbatim search name within single project searches. I am pretty sure it used to function better than this.

The bank was nearly fully capitalized with low risk investments. Everyone would have gotten their money back anyways , it would have just taken 5-10 years. Imagine what would happen if startups could not access their capital? By the time

I didn't see catch this part, but having 10 notes over 4 octaves is not out of the question. If all of those notes are rhythmic, that could be a challenge. All of the fairly wide chords I saw could be played either with sustain or co

Hopefully not too off topic. How do people monitor these BGP announcements? Is it possible for laymen to monitor such route rules?

Question. From my experience, GitHub uses the `github-amo` bot to fetch the data when the page is rendered. How did you prevent it from cacheing on GitHub's servers?

Wake up with the sun or when I am rested. Eat eggs or whatever I have around with a lot of milk and a cup of coffee. Take a shower. Read until I don't want to anymore. Go to work until I am hungry. Eat something, usually around 1pm. Ta

Doesn't this mean that a conditional branch is added to all existing code which performs casting?

Some societies believe it is acceptable to judge people based on their appearance. Arguably, most people do it instinctively. It is just that in America it was deemed illegal. I know there's an epidemic of plastic surgery taking pla

Why is showing your child a professional boundary? Different phases of life necessitate different accomodations. This person is advertising their priorities upfront. Startups might see it as a weakness. Established companies might see it

It probably helps that Julia and Fortran are both column major. When interfacing with C languages, that can be a big penalty (depending on the complexity of the algorithm). It will probably take two generations of developers to make this ha

Somewhere there is a programmer that tried to fix a bug in 10+ year old legacy code (mso98win32client.dll) who has learned the bugs of legacy are features of today.

I really hope they do not do this. In and of itself it is not a problem, Ruby code is perfectly readable when the style is consistent. Software developers are often stubborn. The main result of this change will be a mess of code which fol

This presumes that the truth is knowable and you could know it. Mathematics tells you what is not possible , but it tells you nothing about what exists. Every other discipline is separated from truth by bias in observation. And there are

Ooh, I missed those. Support for C++17 is pretty major. Thanks. Perhaps my memory is fuzzy, I just remember the CUDA 9->10 switch having some significant (but not major) performance and feature changes.

It is possible to SIMD parallelize multiple linear problems when you can guarantee convergence of each subproblem and compute iterative bounds. But sure, SIMD is no panacea. Especially when the latency between the vector instruction shares

Does anyone understand why such minor upgrades resulted in a major version bump? Is this some sort of stability check point? Or some other versioning convention?

Teach them about cyclomatic complexity and then review their work in these terms. It gives them something concrete to target rather than trying to accomplish some ethereal notion of "proper abstraction".

Julia, R, and MATLAB. But yeah, it's not common. I end up reinventing this wheel about once a year.

What a beautiful conclusion for him on such a beautiful project. This man clearly loves the art of programming... so much, that he would give up power, just to pursue it again. Thanks for the wonderful blog posts (over the years) and produ

Yeah, I think you got lucky. He sounds like a great boss. And, he was probably right.

I suppose from the perspective of someone implementing these models, yeah - it is linear, but it is not bijective. In a system with only one layer, that manifests as an alias (assuming the output dimensions are smaller). In a system with

If you have ever opened up Excel or a similar program. One of the more useful options is to generate a regression line-fit on your data points. One option is to specify a polynomial function, you can specify how many coefficients you want.

I agree with the notion that artificial intelligence is a graph of smaller problems, as is human perception. The problem is a question of informational density. Biological systems are computationally very dense. Far more dense than the 4n

Offloading a hash function to a custom chip seems appropriate. I suspect they are deploying an entire specialized box, not just a custom processor. Edit: Nevermind, I may have been thinking about the wrong end of the pipe.
