cnr.it is a domain which belongs to the Italian Research Council, and that subdomain seems to be a blog by the Institute of Microelectronics and Microsystems. These are not scammers, it's probably an amateur researcher which published

If you can, try removing the source of stress. Depending on your situation, this may involve changing work environment. I've been there, I was at a point in which I would either burn out (if I wasn't already) or change environment

I have the same dilemma. I think I'll start fresh while keeping a copy of my old disk around to copy stuff whenever I realize I need it.

Exactly the same here! What a memory. In my case, my fellow students started sending broadcast messages which included a lot more profanity. They reached the computer of the school principal, which immediately came to our lab asking for exp

Mostly opinions without data, as usual. Why can't we as a community switch to a more serious scientific/engineeristic approach, at least in those areas where it is easy to do so? Why should I trust this blog post on the "Cach

I can visualize to a limited extent, i.e. I can see anything I want but images are always very "unstable". I'm much better with music: I can listen to music in my head very clearly, even though there is a strong focus on the

Introducing linear regression with gradient descent can also be really confusing for a newcomer. Gradient descent solves a problem (nonlinear optimization) which does not exist here.

This is great for ML Engineering. Does anyone know a similar document for ML Research?

THIS. And it always surprises me when this association comes not only from outsiders, but from CS graduates too. This really shows a worrying lack of communication about the objectives of such degrees (perhaphs intentional?)

Regardless of my opinion on the topic, which I don't have: why must software engineering be mainly opinion-based? Why can't we have objective facts, or at least only talk about objective facts without going out asserting one'

Then do not use those websites, if their morality doesn't suit you. In your words, using a service without paying for it is also theft.

While I fully agree with you, being Turing complete has nothing to do with it. I think the article is slightly wrong too on this point. Turing completeness is a property about the computational "power" of a language. It has nothin

I always keep my ad-blocker off by default, because in general I want to support websites that show ads, except when they get in my way. I had my ad-blocker deactivated when I visited this link, and this is what I saw: https://ib
