That could have gone quite wrong no?

There is an abusive and potentially criminal pattern of behavior spanning years.

Abstract:

The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent or convolutional neural networks that include an encoder and a decoder. The best performing models also connect the encoder and decoder through an attention mechanism. We propose a new simple network architecture, the Transformer, based solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely. Experiments on two machine translation tasks show these models to be superior in quality while being more parallelizable and requiring significantly less time to train. Our model achieves 28.4 BLEU on the WMT 2014 English- to-German translation task, improving over the existing best results, including ensembles, by over 2 BLEU. On the WMT 2014 English-to-French translation task, our model establishes a new single-model state-of-the-art BLEU score of 41.0 after training for 3.5 days on eight GPUs, a small fraction of the training costs of the best models from the literature.

I upvoted you. Sometimes we need a laugh.
Yes since dependencies should be immutable given a version number, a backed up file share is suffcient for storage. Nuget allows this. I'm sure maven is similar.

Are you saying 10M isn't fuck you money? Its not rich but with planning you can live middle class support a family and not work again.

Does a floatation count? WiseTechGlobal in Australia floated for 1bn last year, market cap gone up 3x since. Completely bootstrapped AFAIK.

The problem with nulls in c++ etc. is that every reference type is forced to be nullable. There is no opt out of that semantics. You get passed in an object of type O and it is really a sum type of O + Nothing. It means you need to do runtime checks everywhere and reason across call boundaries. You need to look at he code inside that method! That so un-OO!

In Db land you can make a column not nullable. Bit the SQL languages like PLSQL TSQL etc have the same issue.

I better get some credit card debt then ;)

More seriously I have a 3.5% mortgage. Interest is not tax deductable. So roi is almost 7% pretax paying that bad boy down.

Awesome I'm going to stick a couple of LEDs on my T-shirt and then hang out in France. It'll be illegal to stick my photo on FB
