There are only two ways to change society's behavior: policy or technology. No use arguing individually: court cases are dealing with the policy aspect and technically there's zero recourse on information being disseminated/c

Such a strange abstraction layer. Thr author could have skipped a step and formatted using tags instead of markdown and published the html directly, with zero need for any generator. Using scp and html, like it was 1998.

The median tenure of engineers at Amazon is 1 year. That means that the new engineers need senior and principle engineers to guide them on what tools exist. If an engineering organization happens to have strong senior Amazon engineers then

Further down the article she mentions that she solved the dependency by "I ended up rewriting the Lambda in Java", noting that the use-case doesn't care about the known JVM warmup times. The POM packaging and jar based deploy

I think what you're actually seeing is the output of a Kalman Filter temporal model. The zestimate is the mean of the filter output, but the error bounds of the filter are more important than the actual mean/reported value. What h

I wonder if AMP isn't just an open source/mobile friendly version of StumbleUpon. Not sure if anyone remembers those SU banners at the top of most blogs, trying to get more in-site clicks from deep linked articles.

Most likely because if you are doing ML and do not have a PhD (or previous experience), you are just looking at calling a library function that you do not understand. The majority of 'machine learning meetups' (not in the Bay Area

Right. And when someone is searching for facts, Google is using their dominant position to just display the facts, instead of just a link to a web site that has the facts. The problem is the definition of what are 'facts'. Are bir

It's so strange that Medium articles don't have dates on them. Is there a way to tell when an article was published? Am I missing something? The reason that I ask, is that I could've swore this article was posted last month,

That Feist v Rural case is interesting. The Feist Corp were not able to copyright telephone listings. I wonder if the telephone company itself could have laid claim to their copyright though.

Can you list the reasons that you're thinking of not storing data on Github? I would assume that you have a (paid) user or organization account and keep the repo private, unless it was for a published paper. I was thinking more along

Are you saying that people aren't storing data on github? How large of datasets are you talking about? It's a shame that Github's large file storage (LFS) mechanism isn't publicly released yet, because I am sure that wil

Whenever you say "that made no sense", I think that you are using too much bias and not giving enough credit to what the data is telling you. If you look at the most "controversial" data science paper from 2013 where a s

Right. Using pandas may allow you to process more data than an excel spreadsheet, but if the file is on your laptop then it's inherently not very big. It's a great tool, but it is a data exploration tool, not a data processing wor

The other poster is right. That is typing, that is not static type checking. You can write code like: List<MyObject> mylist = new HashSet<Integer>() {{ add("string"); add(1L); }} You will get groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeE
