I'd argue that Karpathy's is much better.

It is learning phrases like so that you need the and that's the one from scratch. This version looks better at first glance because it is using correctly spelled words, but it repeatedly makes syntactic errors like for been/was been.

That depends on whether the code is executed using Apple's JavaScriptCore framework, or your own interpreter.

It's a stupid rule, but you can execute arbitrary code if you create a JSContext and load it in your app.
I don't think this is comparable really. Silicon Valley was making fun of people who claim to solve world problems using distributed message queues. (that was the joke in the first episode, I belive) Google didn't do that - they said this is our new logo and it's cool (and there's a design blog post about it). You're adding the "Improving the lives of the world's poor" comment yourself.

When they do want to go for "helping the world" message, they actually do it and for a specific reason: http://www.google.com/earth/outreach/index.html
I also don't see how a client/boss changing requirements makes me a bad programmer.

Being able to take vague and changing requirements in your stride and still deliver something that the end user actually wants (as opposed to what the end user asked for/thinks they wants), is the hallmark of a great programmer. The more I work as a programmer the more I realize that simply typing code is just a small part of my job (and the easiest part).

This is in same line of thinking as saying someone is bad at sports because sometimes it rains when they go to the park to play.

It's more like a player complaining that the reasons they suck is that all their teammates can never pass the ball right. Everybody can catch/score off of a prefect pass, what makes someone great is managing to adapt to and deal with a bad pass.

I use a 2009 MBP with 4G RAM and 240G SSD. Need to replace the battery. Still going strong.

If I was buying new, I would go for an 13" MBA with 8G RAM. The i7 upgrade is nice to have but not essential. As for storage I would settle for 256G SSD and use a USB3 external drive for backup and non-active storage.

For me:
The 11" MBA screen is a bit small and battery life a bit limited.
The MacBook keyboard bothers me and the 12" screen feels smallish too.
My eyes are not that good, so the Retina screens don't make that much difference. YMMV.

Of course, if money was no object, then a 15" MBP with the lot would be my choice :-)
A radioisotope might work, though good luck convincing people to dump tonnes of radioactive marker into a hole that nobody knows where it goes. A pinger from an aeroplane would do an alright job, but they are usually specified to work for a week which might be far longer than the period underwater.
I'm not very familiar with how web browsers are built, but would it be possible to write a HTML / CSS renderer on iOS that utilised JavaScriptCore for code execution?

This would abide by Apple's policies given that arbitrary code is still executed through their JavaScript engine, but would give much more flexibility on the rendering side.

It would be more bespoke than simply wrapping a WKWebView.

Is this a feasible path for a browser like Firefox on iOS?
That guy, Charles Platt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Platt_%28author%29) probably taught more people about electronics than most. I believe the schematic is in his breadboard-friendly style, which takes a bit getting used to but is optimized for easy implementation on a breadboard.

So, I guess CamperBob2 is right that it's optimized for building rahter than theoretical analysis. Usually the text does a pretty good job of explaining his circuits.
It's really a shame :(, there's a lot of things that I can still think of, such as a decent Java profiler, a feature competing with JRebel (or far better DCEVM support), etc.

Dependent Types: I'm Missing Something
This is so true. Where I grew up the roads are rarely exactly parallel, and the coastline is hard to replicate. There's highways and flyovers that weren't like the ones in the games.

When I came to the US, particularly the towns that aren't by the coast, I thought SimCity! Apart from things being on a grid, there's also quite a lot of repetitive architecture. Schools look similar, utilities look similar, neighbourhoods are filled with the same houses. And all the big box stores are exact copies.
Biologists have presented you with some startling evidence that living creatures change themselves dramatically
to ensure their survival in a particular environment. Life is self adapting. An insect in the Amazon playas has wings that look exactly like the flowers of the tree upon which it thrives. A bird has a beak that is shaped exactly right to gather nectar deep within a particular flower in its forest. A beetle puffs itself up to double its size to frighten off predators. Most plants, animals and insects have unique biological anomalies that ensure its life cycle in a very special place. How did the creature know how to
change itself so accurately? Can you suppose that a moth is smarter than you; that it can alter its own DNA?

The butterfly, whose wings look like flowers, has eyes and a sense of logic, and certainly a desire to stay alive being a butterfly. Its simple desire went forth as a signal to alert a greater intelligence who, by law, was able to assist the DNA change in exactly the way the butterfly had described. The butterfly literally said to itself, in butterfly language, “If I were to look exactly like these flowers where I spend my happy hours feeding, the predators would not see me here and I could avoid a horrible death.” And so it was. Desire propels a signal to where it needs to go.

Humans use the same adaptive biological process, but they are often slowed down by traditions and lack of trust. If a human wants to fly he settles for an airplane - because he has learned to understand and trust airplanes. It is possible that a human could grow wings and fly. And then again, he wants to remain a “human”. He is literally afraid of radical change from what his ideal “humanness” is like. The butterfly wanted to remain a butterfly, but one that looked like a flower. The human is very limited by his
ideals. A human could live 300 years, but then he would look funny and old and everyone would hate him - he thinks.

We would like to propose that the joys of humanness could be presented in an attractive but radically different manner. If you could know yourself as a Creator Wave Form that kept your personality and identity intact, you might find it quite interesting to change forms, to alter your appearance at will. Think about what opportunities might be in the cosmos to accommodate your desires. Owls and alligators remain unchanged over millions of years. Why? Because they were so successful and happy being owls and alligators that they stayed that way. Dissatisfaction has many advantages. This is not a joke. Think about how you might want to change. Believe that you can.

Two sentence summary from the actual patent:

>When an individual applies for a loan, the lender examines the credit ratings of members of the individual's social network who are connected to the individual through authorized nodes. If the average credit rating of these members is at least a minimum credit score, the lender continues to process the loan application. Otherwise, the loan application is rejected.

On a second thought, shouldn't it be easy to dismiss this patent as prior art? Certainly someone somewhere has done filtering based on a friend list before.

Just imagine those changes in modern language. Breaking changes, oh my god, I have to rewrite my software, no way I'll ever use that language again. People were more patient at that time.
Thanks for the link! My thesis was basically a data analysis project, improving on work my supervisor did prior to me starting my thesis. Figshare is good to keep in mind, but I don't think I'd have had much use for it, as the whole point of my thesis was to get certain figures within a reasonable time.

I actually had quite a lot of fun figuring out how to get everything working in the cloud. Set up my home desktop as my personal computer "cluster" (i5 processor, so a cluster of 4 cores!), I find it hard to work in an environment that I tend to do other stuff besides work in. Derived a small representative dataset from the massive one I had to quickly iterate over my analysis scripts in Cloud9 (while having github take care of my revision history). Then ssh'ing into my desktop PC whenever I needed to run the scripts on the full data set.

I considered adding a section on open science and cloud-based software to my thesis, but in the end decided not to due to a lack of time. Open science is based on open source principles, where everything that can be shared should be shared. The Cloud VM angle is quite interesting in this sense, as being able to share the machines that software for a research project was ran on is often quite difficult (or nigh impossible), and a cloud-based VM seems to bridge this gap somewhat. In theory, anyone could log-in to the VM and play around in the workspace I set up for my thesis project, not that many would want to I suppose.
Maybe they could use radar sounding and a big bag of passive reflectors floating upright.

Sander's sincerity does not matter much, nor does his ability to resist pressure matter in the slightest. He has no chance of being elected so support for him is the white liberal version of supporting Rand Paul (or his father in previous cycles.) [Let's get real here, to win the Democratic nomination the man would have to actually, you know, declare himself to be a Democrat...] That he has support in the tech community is not surprising, I see a lot of #feelthebern support in my Facebook feed from white liberal techies in my circle of friends and I will chuckle with amusement and move on to things that actually matter. If I did not know any better I would have guessed that Bernie and the Trump were plants from the Clinton campaign to frame the extremes of the debate.

As to the whole "build hope and then continue the same" bullshit line you are trying to slide in there, if you think that our presidents have been the same or even vaguely similar then you have obviously not been paying attention and you probably have that child-like imagined view of what a US president does and what they can actually accomplish that we seem to propagate in our media narratives. Don't worry, lots of Americans fall for the story as well. They end up with similar levels of vague disappointment because reality never quite lines up with the stories they have been told.
I can understand that you are upset and confused. That is only natural in the circumstances.

For me, being the COO and working remotely is the red-flag. That role typically requires being on the ground ASAP. Wouldn't you need a Green Card instead of just a visa?

If you are bothered by the decision, you could re-connect and demand more specific answers so that you don't fall into the same circumstances again.
Wow, those look really nice!
Goodbye, Docstoc
It could just go down into an underground aquifer, no?
Yes, have to add that!
Sanders is not going to be president, that is not what this is about. Sanders' goal is to keep the debate focused on issues he and his followers cares about and forcing candidates to take stands on issues they would rather ignore, all in the hope of making small incremental changes.

Look at the Tea Party on the right. By loudly forcing the debate to focus on their issues they managed to wield influence far beyond the size of their initial voting base, making more moderate candidates take stands on these issues and move the whole party towards the tea party line.

Large embedded systems also like malloc-less solutions. In such systems you essentially have explicit use for all the memory you have and you don't like to buy extra memory that is unused (reduces your margins). When you need to account for all memory needs and you use allocation schemes you need to create memory pools that are not too large (create waste) and not too small (performance bottle or deadlock source).

One such example are large SAN storage systems. We can have gigabytes or even a terrabyte of ram and still have very little spares (little by our standards < 100MB for diagnostics and general OS nuisance).

> Maybe take a step back and ask not whether it's the right or wrong foot, but whether any foot shooting is necessary?

Github/PR workflows often (usually?) recommend cleaning up pull requests (via rebase -i) in the same way submissions of patchsets get reorganised and cleaned up after comment then resubmitted (whether to a mailing list or a patch review tool like gerrit) rather than adding new cruft on top of the initial patchset.

That does indeed require "foot shooting" as the old branch needs to be replaced by the new one, lest each resubmission lose all existing discussion and comments and each tentative change ends up using half a dozen different pull requests.
I'm just assuming it'd be gone forever, which is why you'd need some sort of wireless data transfer system (ultrasonic sound, for example).
Yes. The invasion, if it had to be done, which could have been handled a lot better than it was. Which is to say, it was not handled at all. "We won. Now what."
> I consider it a basic point of computer literacy to understand this.

Yes, but just because fractional notation defaults to a floating point representation in most languages does not mean that the option of defaulting to decimal/rational notation at the language level should be ruled out generally.

People have also very often been freaked out by

>>> 1/2
0
>>> 2/3
0

... and this has changed from Python 2 to Python 3. But the floating-point vs. rational/decimal hasn't.

You might get what you want from

>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.Decimal('0.1') + decimal.Decimal('0.2') == decimal.Decimal('0.3')
True

Still, that seems like a bunch of extra work compared to the more obvious way to type in numbers!

> Floats are defined by the hardware essentially, not the language.

Floats are storage formats for approximations of numbers.

Floats are, by definition, not relevant if one wants to store an exact number exactly.

> 0.1 can't be represented exactly as binary.

1 can be represented exactly as binary.

And so can 10.

And thus 1 (numerator) divided by 10 (denominator) can be represented by two (binary -- or any-other-ary-for-that-matter) numbers.

This isn't about (just) decimals. The same thing applies to non-decimal fractions like 1/3 or 56,123 / 7329.

Some languages prefer to store exact representations of rational numbers. Perl 6 is by no means the first.
The devil's in the details. Lets suppose for the sake of argument that your AI actually only takes as much material and technology as a modern high end server to build, say $2000 worth of labor and materials. How does the AI suddenly have billions of dollars worth of materials (and initially only human labor) available to do this sort of manufacturing and research? And mustn't human beings be complicit in providing this material and building the factories to scale the production of these experimental units? It certainly wouldn't be able to accomplish this herculean task in a bunker without people knowing about it. The AI doesn't spring forth from the womb godlike, able to access the resources of nations to do this. "Feasible" in this case means feasible with the massive compliance of human beings, probably initially for years.

Gecko is an implementation of a rendering engine with specific goals, too.

Gecko has a stand on web features. Having market share means more control on new features (especially controversial ones like DRM) that get introduced to the Web. This doesn't help in that direction, which keeps the mobile web controlled largely by Apple&Google.

> Floats are storage formats for approximations of numbers. Floats are, by definition, not relevant if one wants to store an exact number exactly.

Floats can store integer values exactly up to an upper limit (2^24 IIRC), which is often useful. And they can store binary fractions exactly up to a point.

No number representation can represent all numbers exactly. Each can store some subset of all numbers exactly.
