There is just so much awesome stuff in this article. Finite State Entropy and Asymmetric Numeral System are completely new concepts to me (I've got 7 open tabs just from references FB supplied in the article), as is repcode modeling.

Agreed. How did they not call it "Pied Piper"?

Another way to put it might be to say that because neighborhoods near the center are more valuable and attract more people, they also tend to attract other desirables, and that those other desirables tend to further drive up their value. Wh

I think you can reframe this debate pragmatically and widen its applicability significantly: At what point is "bad" code more effective than the alternatives. If you get down into a debate about "best practices" you&#x2

My vote is for electron, although I'm following how React Native develops really closely. From what I've seen, the best new "Desktop" apps tend to be built with electron. We've been using it in production and, des

I agree completely but I guess I also don't mind it. But I also wouldn't mind "The Art of Woodworking: Tables You Can Build Yourself" - I suppose it depends on your tolerance for buzz words. I'm bombarded with them

Yeah, I'm surprised the Neo4j team hasn't made more of an effort on this. I've run into lots of memory issues with it as well, and although there are reliable, fairly straightforward solutions to most of these problems, the

Kind of shocked nobody mentioned this, even if it is a bit of an aside, but umm, I've been dying for anything at all from Gary Bernhardt - I don't even know what to say except that it makes me hope however unrealistically that wil

Can't wait to try it out. I hope you don't mind a slightly tangential question: why TypeScript?

I worry about breaking Stack Overflow into pieces - I think it functions extremely well as the be-all and end-all for copy-paste code bandaging. But AI is a perfect place to draw a dividing line and create a question and answer culture uni

I don't mind the OOP-functional debate. I think that encouraging developers to try out radically different approaches to programming and to regularly reconsider their implications is extremely healthy for the ecosystem as a whole even

Wow. If the "critical" temperature for superconductivity really does turn out to be determined by the density of electron pairs, as it now seems, I absolutely cannot wait to see what kind of theoretical frameworks end up coming o
