It can be put simply like where the struggle for rich kids start; that is the zenith of success for poor kids.
Re:Embracing Swift for Deep Learning on Sunday April 21, 2019 @07:51PM (#19715299)
But you loose so much flexibility. When you start working on a problem, you want your language should give you as little headache as it can with minimum rules and constraints. Then on iteration you can improve like having type annotation, unit tests etc.

You can write perfectly fine production level code in Python. It like lego block. Start with simple and then add on.

Adding compile type checks comes with its own demerits. I guess here Swift is trying to offer more tool chain on compiler level for model building rather than just being type safe.

Re:Embracing Swift for Deep Learning on Sunday April 21, 2019 @07:40PM (#19715255)
Swift large projects takes huge time to compile whether as interpreter wins here. Though there are model building layer on compiler level which Swift offers in Tensorflow which is unique but apart from that I don’t think it is going to hit nail on Python community.
I started by checking how you can write HTML using Kotlin DSL. Here is the source code https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.html

Now, I have to generate different languages once the DSL is finalized. To achieve this I use Flask framework architecture. There we have routes with HTML templates. Here each generator has its own templates.

Is the course content available online? Do you have any community around it?

The paper summarises well about current tech stack and bringing it to the University.

I built a code generator package in Kotlin which generates codes for Kotlin, Swift, Web (JS), and React-Native (TypeScript). Basically, you provide your class definition in a DSL style (Similar to TOML) and it will generate the implementation and interfaces of the bridge for different technologies.
Looks really cool extension. I would like to give it a try. I tried to click the Subscribe button but it is not working.
Re:I cut Google out of my life and it screwed up everything on Thursday April 11, 2019 @09:49PM (#19641209)
Google is so engrossed in web life that you have to fight with each of the decision you are going to make online against it.
I am just guessing here. I feel we will get more connected to biology in the future meaning communication with your cells and what your body is trying to tell you.
But he gave a thought to leave chocolate and take Salad. How do you think this got triggered in his brain. Discipline comes after you have formed rules by seeing it's effect either by you or learning from others.

Second-order thinking is too abstract: some time thing which is obvious for you might not be for other e.g. binary search is not always a good option, it can be obvious to you (here you are an intelligent person with acquired knowledge) and for novice to this concept; their second order thinking would be to find out what Binary Search is and then why not it is always good to use it.

I think second order is trying to convey to look beyond what you have good in your first glimpse and try to connect dots. I haven't done much study on it but that what I get from it.

I second it. I also switched from LastPass to Bitwarden. The main reason was now my data which are online is more valuable than it used to be a few years ago and I don't want to be the scapegoat of their failure in case if it happens.

Another reason, It has a polished app and works flawlessly on all the platforms and I can host it myself.

Re:What Winning $250k at Poker Taught Me About Money on Wednesday March 27, 2019 @11:36PM (#19509001)
This is true for newbie investor after reading a book and investing in Wall-Street. They almost always lose the money and again Wall Street releases a new easy book on investing.

I find a huge co-relation between how poker and wall street is aligned.

Can we visit the whole world in just 72 days; considering we have more than 190+ countries and a lot of VISA applications.
Re:Screen time: how much is too much? on Thursday January 17, 2019 @09:40PM (#18936621)
For me, screentime has worked really well. I don't have social media apps and notifications are on for critical apps i.e. Calendar, Slack, Journal entry (I achieved it with discipline).

Now the sad part is you can still access them on your browser and because of gamification, it is so easy to lose the track of time on those sites. I used to keep reading articles for hours even though I haven't finished a single task for the day.

What screentime offers me is a check which actually what I needed. It is like a teacher/friend who reminds me you are spending more time than supposed to in categories which is not important for you. At the moment, social media seems waste of time for me and so I set it up for a 5-minute limit. If I am reading important stuff on social media and it binges me the limit time. I think that check helps in reminding what is urgent and what is important and don't mind it as a problem as other people commented.

Re:Apple is a traditional business on Wednesday May 02, 2018 @10:23PM (#16982900)
I think Apple is a true tech company. How can you define a tech company? it has got holds on both hardware and software for its ecosystem. Doesn't that make it a tech company?

At this stage, if any company which can create an OS like iOS would be considered tech company leaving aside the hardware part.

Re:Statement on Cryptocurrencies and Initial Coin Offerings on Tuesday December 12, 2017 @12:51AM (#15903278)
That's a really strong statement. RFC structured this way because they needed people to contribute whereas SEC and Congress don't want people involvement.
