Re:Ask HN: Anyone know any funny programming jokes? on Wednesday January 20, 2021 @04:30PM (#25852258)

I think I saw this on reddit years ago:

Programmer's wife: "when you go to the store, can you buy a carton of milk and if they have eggs, get six."

He comes back with 6 cartons of milk. Wife: "why would you buy six cartons of milk?"

"Well, they had eggs"

Ask HN: Pre-Built Desktop for Deep Learning

Posted by preparat on Friday March 09, 2018 @11:28AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am seriously considering buying a pre-built desktop to get into Deep Learning. List of the important components is in my comment below. The GPU in the pre-built desktop is a regular 11GB 1080 Ti, not the FE, but the FE was the only NVIDIA 1080 Ti I found on pcpartpicker.Q1: Are there any reasons you would think this is NOT a good system for a beginner?Q2: I plan on ordering it without an OS...

Re:Ask HN: Which programming language did you learn and why? on Friday February 16, 2018 @11:22AM (#16393411)

Matlab, because the opportunity presented itself at work. I have no formal programming training, just huge interest. Learning bits of Python now.

Wonder how they would deal with forks, if it's an issue at all.
