Yes. But more importantly, we are continuously training our network. There is no terminating "training set" except the set of all considered classifications. Our discovery of ourselves being "wrong" about a thing is o

You really should care more about Kay has to say. There are few truly brilliant people out there, and Kay is one of them.

why use python for real work? For reference, I was handling 30M daily records in about an hour on hardware 15 years ago. This performance is absurd.

reservation bailing, like scalping can be solved through new business models: for reservation fraud, start by taking a creditcard and charge a 5$ reservation fee that is deducted from your bill. For scalping, there are a lot of various app

If we need a computer science-y role model who happens to be gay, we got Alan Turing. Why get out the second team when the MVP is on the field?

It is very difficult for me to translate lessons learned at google to anything except google. I have read a lot of blogs from googlers and formers who write from a perspective of, I guess, a luxury I have literally never seen, even at MS d

If HP can pull this off, it will be as big a wave as the PC, the Web, and the Mobile ones, if not bigger.

I am guilty of this more often than I care to admit. Ooops.

or an IDE that just scans the code files, picks out the lines of comments containing "TODO" and put them in a list in the gui, so you see it all the time. Or generate a compile warning instead of a comment. Then it will annoy you

Given that we are talking about lazy/overworked on top of lazy/overworked here, why any confidence that this will be done 100% of the time? Putting time bombs in your code, regardless of a global configuration switch, is just aski

Diamond-square has a bug/limitation in that it creates seams. There are better solutions :).

Meh. Using a dummy object doesn't solve the problem of testing if you got the dummy or not. And throwing a specific exception is still an exception, but now more code to maintain, and only for exceptional circumstances (or is it real

They didn't highlight the key property of a project for when tdd works and when it doesn't: when you know the requirements with clarity (compilers, stacks, etc) it is possible to use tdd since the tests will map back to well under

It is also a very well thought out language, that took from Java's history many of the mistakes it made, learned from them, and avoided them.

Eh, where was this line of reasoning when I was hand editing autoexec.bat and config.sys files to find an IRQ and DMA channel that would work with my soundblaster? Sounds like a steaming pile of BS to me. MS could have done a far better jo

Hmm... funny but... why not show an example that demonstrates adding these various abstractions in useful ways. Just always printing hello world, so none of these subsequent refactors actually added any utility is funny but not as real as

a routine that makes decisions on what action should be taken can still have a good name, like "routeOrder" or "dispatchWork". In C, inlining works if you are really worried about fn call overhead. No problem with the no
