You can ask the mods to reconsider by use of the "vouch" button. At least, I think that's what the button does.

I hadn't actually noticed that! It looks like .run() allows input and output to be piped and the return code captured. That is a serious improvement over subprocess.call().
Not really. At least, not to any sizeable amount. It depends more on the country, but if a decade on the same job is a long time on your region, then no workplace will have a healthy community.
And I can say "people who take offensive to being called 'Sugar Tits' by their coworkers are giant, throbbing dicks" but that is completely irrelevant because we live in a society where that's not appropriate behavior.

Nobody's talking about how you got into your position. We're talking about whether the government should send you free money for a position you've already got.
I continue to find the use of "woman" or "women" as an adjective to be really grating. "Women firefighters", for example—we don't say "men nurses", ya know? Reads/sounds awful to me, like we're referring to someone who only fights fires for (on?) women, or does nursing stuff for men. To take dictionary.com's adjectival example, "woman plumber" seems like a gross euphemism for a gynecologist. Imagine "man teacher". Wow is that an ugly and misleading construction.

It seems like we only started doing it because someone decided "female" was suddenly a word to be avoided regardless of context, for reasons that elude me. "Male" seems to still be fine, fortunately.
Maybe this person has a good reason to be remote: caring for a disabled relative, strong ties to their region, ongoing litigation, etc.

That said, your advice is good in general: a portfolio is essential for junior developers who want to distinguish themselves enough to qualify for a remote position.

> Starting Strength fails in teaches the idea of deloading by dropping weight then taking a run at it without changing any of the training methodology

No, starting strength tells you to take exactly two runs up until your failure weight and then move on to another program, which for many people works very well and allows them to progress far beyond weight they failed at. People who can run an SS linear progression for a year straight are rare, but they exist and they end up in the upper 3s, 4s and 5s for bench, squat and deadlift after their first year.
And there is exactly 1 polynomial of degree n-1 that will match n points ;)
Assuming this is actually true, this tweet [0] captures the unusual state of Uber right now "Uber no longer has a COO, CBO, CFO, CMO or SVP of Eng and may temporarily not have a CEO. From autonomous cars...to autonomous company." And there have also been reports about the CTO being asked to leave [1].

Since this is targeted a developers, it's worth looking at the intro pages of similar tools - flask and spark come to mind but there are others in the same vein. The slideshow with vague verbiage which is often not obviously related to the code being shown just doesn't make any sense.

"Compose modular maintainable code" or "Achieve the productivity of a cohesive framework" doesn't really say anything at all - you can replace that whole thing with a random code snippet and a big title that says "Aqueduct - now, more than ever!".

The only problem is that it ends up not being a choice. Once you start working those crazy hours, they're going to expect them, even after you "choose" not to work at 2AM.
> They're meaningfully different in how they approach failure.

All 3 of these programs do deloads to handle failure. StrongLifts also starts dropping sets/reps, but that's after deloading repeatedly at which point Starting Strength just says to go do a different program. So no meaningful difference until you have outgrown the program.

> Starting Strength fails in teaches the idea of deloading by dropping weight then taking a run at it without changing any of the training methodology which is arguably a reason for the "spinning the wheels" approach you see from several lifters who claim to run the program for months on end upwards and beyond a year.

That's not running the program. You can't deload and work back up to the same weight repeatedly. You can call that Starting Strength but it's not. You get some number of deloads (3? can't recall) and then move to a different program. Pretty sure Starting Strength coaches will also tell you you're not eating/sleeping/training right if you keep getting stuck at a novice weight.

> It's also seen as a less ideal program for its poor split on upper/lower volume and really benefits from accessory lifts thrown in when the lifter is capable....

Sure, but for someone untrained, this really doesn't matter much. Hence nitpicking.

> They're decent programs in that they get a untrained individual to put up enough weight to get themselves out of a horribly weak position but they don't teach anything meaningful for long term.

They teach you to grow muscle and to learn to push yourself in the gym. Not sure what else a beginner program is supposed to teach.

> Other programs achieve the necessary linear progression that is capable during your noob gains without having stupid programming quirks that lifters need to unlearn when they move onto intermediate programs.

What programs do better?
Yes, at least for gaming. (Don't know about DNN.) Single-precision is the only kind that GPUs supported until CUDA happened.

Around 2011, I got my feet wet in CUDA and tried to calculate quantum waveforms (using a method that is mostly matrix multiplications and FFTs). I eventually went back to doing stuff on the CPU because GPU memory was too small in the systems that I had access to (256 MB), which restricted me to one job at a time, whereas the CPU (a contemporary i7) had enough cores and memory to do 4 jobs in parallel. And I needed double precision, which the GPU could only execute at a tenth the speed of a single-precision job. Also, with the GPU, I was restricted to running jobs during the night since those systems were desktops that were also used for classes. Whenever one of my calculations ran, it would occupy the GPU completely, this rendering the graphical login unusable.

I reckon that the situation would look much more favorably for the GPU today, esp. because of the larger memory sizes and because double-precision speed has caught up. But yeah, the most common uses need only single-precision.
Given Amazon's problems with counterfeit items, I'm not sure I'd buy something like that from them.

>The second is that "male" and "female" punt on having to refer to the person's age, and in our era of perpetual adolescence people are terrified of being considered a "man" or a "woman."

But many times you want to be clear you're referring to that sex, irrespective of age. So using "woman" isn't any shorter -- writers inevitably end up using clumsy constructions like "women and girls"[1]. We have a word for the union of the sets. Just use it already!

I'd be glad to entertain it as being dehumanizing if we had a less-dehumanizing, shorter term for the same semantic space. But as there isn't...

Similar issue for "male" and "female" as adjectives; to my ear, "woman doctor" and (especially) "man doctor" sound a lot clumsier than "male/female doctor".

In general, I'm glad Uber is getting their comeuppance, with all the shady things they've done, they are overdue.

On a personal note, having worked for a period with Travis at RedSwoosh, I think he's getting the raw end of this deal. He's a really great entrepreneur and a nice enough guy. He pushes hard but and plays to win; as the CEO, he's getting an inordinate amount of fallout from these issues. I would say he's not the root cause of the issues but he is the root cause of Uber's success. Uber will not be the same without him.
Me too. Another vote for "Starting Strength" being a life changer.
There's separate research as well into how much, if any, exercise can slow/reduce Sarcopenia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopenia). So they are at least researching it separate from simple correlation as well.

"Exercise is of interest in treatment of sarcopenia; evidence indicates increased ability and capacity of skeletal muscle to synthesize proteins in response to short-term resistance exercise.[18] A 2009 Cochrane review also found evidence that in older adults progressive resistance training can improve physical performance (gait speed) and muscular strength,[19] which are two key components of sarcopenia."
The prices rose around 20% and only for the more expense ones. Apparently that was enough to stop the sales immediately.

Maybe the useful thing here is that Sudoku is a problem space a lot of people understand pretty well even though it's not trivial. That makes a nice domain for thinking about and understanding NN. I guess that people who are familiar with the problem space of solving Sudoku and similar problems but who don't know much about NN will find this pretty interesting but people who already understand NN pretty well (or aren't familiar with solving puzzles like Sudoku) won't.

Surprisingly few food-related recommendations in this thread. I did see some, but for a trendy and multi-cultural place like the Bay Area, would have expected more.

It's worth noting that the paper was published in ACS Sensors, a journal on the topic of "new and original knowledge on all aspects of sensor science that selectively sense chemical or biological species or processes." So, the sensor-validation angle was the primary focus of the study. They also tested treated versus un-treated wastewater.

I can't get past the paywall, so I couldn't say if they give any justification for whether their sensor would be a good indication of in vivo behavior or not. In order for dangerous DNA damage to occur, the offending compound (or relevant metabolite) would have to get into cell nuclei in meaningful quantities, which is far from a given.
I smoked from the age of 16 until the age of 26 when I made the decision to switch to e-cigs. Within the year after I started using e-cigs I had tapered the nicotine content of the juice down to 0. I abandoned e-cigs entirely and have been tobacco/nicotine free since last April aside from one or two cigars. I truly believe that I would not have been able to quit smoking as easily and painlessly without e-cigs and therefor I am a huge believer in their use as a smoking cessation tool...I wish more people understood just how easy it was for me to quit with their use.
Yeah, but this is basically the attitude that led Uber to steal a rape victim's medical report with Travis's blessing, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cultural Marxism is not a conspiracy theory. It's simply a name for a strategy of advancing leftist political causes by using cultural institutions such as academia and the media; undeniably, there are leftists who do this, and they have openly stated that they do this. It would be a category error to refer to a strategy of political action as a "conspiracy theory", since no organized conspiracy is being proposed.

Saying that using the term "Cultural Marxism" is "antisemitism at worst" is nothing more than an attempt to preemptively scare off people from investigating the idea.
From the CNTK vs. TensorFlow page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cognitive-toolkit/reasons-t...

> TensorFlow shared the training script for Inception V3, and offered pre-trained models to download. However, it is difficult to retrain the model and achieve the same accuracy, because that requires additional understanding of details such as data pre-processing and augmentation. The best accuracy that were achieved by a third party (Keras in this case) is about 0.6% worse that what the original paper reported. Researchers in the CNTK team worked hard and were able to train a CNTK Inception V3 model with 5.972% top 5 error, even better than the original paper reported!

This suggests that an improvement in accuracy is possible by switching to CNTK, hence why I included an accuracy metric from both frameworks. (and also for sanity checking, as you note)

It is not insane... if you are 24 with no family. Everyone thinks that startups are populated by young, single 20-somethings because those are the people who take risks and disrupt the status quo, when actually, it is because they are the only people who can put up with that lifestyle.
I have observed that most of the people I know who fit your description: experts who work fewer hours but everything they do counts, almost always went through a period of ridiculous and obsessive long hours early in their career.

Once you've built that skill set, it makes sense to dial things back because you now know how to be effective and you also probably do tons of mental work semi consciously away from your "desk."

But it drives me crazy how people seem to think they can start out that way. In my experience that is a sure path to modest abilities, which is fine, but that's the trade off.

I'm going to assume you are young, unmarried, good technically, but have not run your own business before.

I'd set aside four months of your current living expenses, and keep it in the bank for emergencies. Having something like this just takes a lot of the stress out of life.

Secondly, I'd set aside about $10,000 into a separate bank account and use small amounts (sub $100) to encourage other people towards their dreams, or help them over bumps in the road. (See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14500784)

If you want to try your own startup with $20,000 go for it, but set a limit on how much of your own money you will spend before profitability. Sometimes during gold rushes, it's more profitable to sell picks and pants than mine for gold. Whatever you are currently doing sounds pretty lucrative, and might have a higher expected value.

Lastly I'd put the rest is long term Vanguard index funds. It only takes $1,000,000 to retire to an upper-middle class lifestyle in the nice-but-not-expensive parts of the US. This would put you well on your way there.

The best part about having money "in the bank" is that it allows you to leave bad employers and bad contracts without fear, which allows you to spend your life working with good people who pay well.
In context to the article, my point is that Fuyao is a poor example.

The author makes it seem like Fuyao's decision to build in Ohio is part of a larger trend across verticals, when in reality the nature of the glass industry demands Fuyao building local to suppliers.
I have the complete opposite experience. I messed up my lower back doing t-bars after a long break from the gym (very stupid I know) and haven't been able to workout much at all for almost a year now. I'd definitely suggest consulting with a personal trainer before seriously considering weight training. It's getting better now and I slowly start training my back again, but holy crap it's been very painful 6 months.

99,9% of code written will not be specific to ARM, nor will it be CUDA code.

Most programmers will still be busy assembling software from prefabricated low-level parts (which may have ARM optimizations or run on CUDA). If (for example) you use Tensorflow, you will not need to deal with CUDA, even though Tensorflow runs on top of it.

GPU programming is not for the faint of heart, debugging is much more tedious and you need to "think" parallel. You can't be a clown programming GPUs like you can with Javascript. There aren't a lot of jobs to go around either, even though they may be well-paid.
