How about respecting people instead of treating them as resources that deserve exploitation?

While I'm not sure of the typical application timeline, google's summer of code is a possibility if you want to target open source contributions.

They're a means of meeting new people or re-encountering acquaintances that you otherwise wouldn't see again, no?

I occasionally update my web log, however updates are rare because writing ends up taking a lot of time. You have to identify an interesting topic, research it to fill the gaps needed to describe it, create a writeup with associated figures

Find a small project that you're interested in and check out the developmental discussion channels to see if there's any way you can lend a hand. Starting with trying to find complex coding tasks in large bureaucratic projects is

FYI in case you didn't already know this, filtering adult content is a massively more challenging problem than face detection.

I initially started out with music from outer space as an educational resource and recently dug through the classic of electronotes, but if you're looking for videos with a lower barrier to entry I'd recommend: https://

Usually it takes a few days for the thread to completely populate, so unless you're looking at the rate that it fills up I think it's too early to decide.

No, I would not work on any personal projects during work hours as I don't want to risk any IP clauses getting applied to my own personal/side projects. Generally down time is a good opportunity to learn more about tools which cou

You're not (likely) going to be working casually on VLSI design, but for basic circuitry and embedded design you can work on hobby projects. I wouldn't compare that to having a fulltime job working on complex systems where you&#x2

If you want to have ragged starting information displaying pricing information for the various symbols in the range they're defined, I'd assume it's much more common that there's different start dates, but they're a

If the goal is to demonstrate relative performance over time, wouldn't it be useful to use a normalization such that all lines either start at the same point (e.g. simulating investing X amount) or ending at the same point (showing req

Taking a quick look at the source it doesn't look too bad all things considered. First off, assume that there's going to be some sort of 32bit->64bit issues (likely casting pointers into 32bit words). So, start off on a 32bit s

Certainly not as much as I used to, but yes I contribute to open source projects. It's a combination of making things I'm interested in, drive by patches for tools that almost do what I want or have a bug that I've managed to

From the start it was done for show. He paraded himself around at least one neuroscience conference while still healing from getting the implant.

My personal big disappointment was seeing objectively false claims being made at the society for neuroscience conference. It made it clear to me that the work was not being done in good faith.

This was almost certainly the case. It was extremely abnormal that the surgery happened at all.

Certainly a unique experiment, however behind the scenes things were let down by poor experimental procedures, minimal experiment designs, outrageously inaccurate data analysis, and poor recording equipment.

As someone who intersected with some of this work, my opinion is that it was likely a consequence of dwindling funding.

I still use meetup, though it is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to meeting people. Groups tend to either be small enough that it's a challenge to get around how tight knit the dynamics are or they're huge with mostly inactive

Personally I don't buy that line of argument. The endgame for a business is not a binary choice between acquisition or taking over the entire market.

Ideally I (and I'd assume other commenters) would have preferred to see bandcamp remain independent. It's not like there's a huge need to scale up quickly or provide large partnerships. Bandcamp was an effective way of paying

For code, git has won out among the other options. As per ML data+model versioning that area is still evolving and what the right choices are there depends on ML frameworks as well as your approaches to deploying new models. Generally I&#x2

Sure, I encounter TIFF images when working on various datasets if that counts as using the format. One of the first things I do though tends to be converting the tiff images into a more common format. Once the conversion is complete I don&#

'Hello' as a method of establishing a synchronous chat makes sense, but if you just need an answer to a question when someone reads through chat next, then it's by no means a required formality. My personal stance is when a d

Perhaps the described patch based routing to experts isn't a problem in practice, but at first glance it does seem to discard more spatial information than you'd like as well as introducing more image boundaries than would be idea

Call me a pessimist, but if the site caught onto some non-trivial traction it would be quickly overrun with unreasonably loud clips, people generally saying horrifying things without much recourse, and then slightly down the road TTS voices
