In my experience, it's very easy to shoot yourself in the foot with Angular, performance-wise. But this is most often due to poor understanding of how the underlying update model works (people abusing deep watches would be a prime example).

Of course, the generally poor documentation does not help newcomers...

Impostor syndrome, meet fake it till you make it culture.

Does anybody know what would the performance gain be in this case?

Actually that kind of feedback can be extremely useful to a creator... There might be a demographic worth targeting with "it looks cool, just install it!", but that's surely not HN...

Having a page detailing what the product offers never killed any marketing attempt (unless we are talking complete vaporware, that is).

I personally wasn't sure if I was looking at a game or some social app, and certainly I wouldn't install everything that shows up on HN for the sake of trying (we would wind up with a hundred apps per week, each with its own security clearance!)

An Italian accent is not so easy to conceal, though :)

I think I've been lucky myself - in 6 years living abroad I was questioned a lot only at the apex of the whole Berlusconi debacle... And even then I think it was more out of curiosity than jest. Ymmv, I guess, depending on the environment...

Sadly, h-farm does not really play in the same league of even third rate incubators in sv, both from cash and expertise perspective... And it doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon

Since NIPS is a very prestigious conference, I'd expect a lot of submitted papers (perhaps a vast majority of them) would fall in a grey area between "clearly unsuitable" and "clearly suitable". I personally think there are too many factors at play in evaluating a series of papers - no objective sorting can really exist.

A note for people outside the academic Machine Learning field: NIPS is widely believed to be on a different level from the rest - during my PhD, my advisor used to say that a NIPS paper would be on par with a paper published on a good journal, resume-wise. The difference is especially striking if you've had the chance to attend other conferences (including, alas, IEEE-sponsored events) - that are, with very few exceptions, fairly terrible from a scientific point of view.

Wait, what? What decent programmer will ever find herself with N slightly different copies of their classes instead of planning ahead or doing some basic refactoring?

Isn't WU a not-so-relevant service that's mostly used by scammers? I'm not from the US, and I've always heard of it in such terms...

I'm having issues donating through the givealittle.co.nz service... My VISA gets rejected. Does anybody know if it's possible to donate via PayPal?

What a time to be alive

I use Route53 with no Cloudfront involvement, and everything looks good... So I think it's not really related to Route53

Is this for real? I can't tell if it's satire...

VMs too... At least for western europe

Looks fine now... On the other hand, I'm having massive problems with Azure tonight. Thankfully we are outside of business hours...

So the new PG JSON indexing is for equality only?

The infographics are really nice, but what's with the looming globe? This has to be the most invasive and annoying piece of useless UX I've ever seen... (note that two links in the fixed menu on the left send you to the same target you'd reach by clicking the globe!).

Other than that, this is really cool...

You should be posting with your main account, you know?

Aren't we done yet with the rhetoric of "making the world a better place"/"improving people's lives"? I can't help but think about HBO's Silicon Valley every time I read this kind of thing...

Not sure about the minute, the video is prohibitively long...

It's on the 9th slide: https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=http%3a%2f...

Ah, that's the catch, it makes sense now.

Are you saying that it's going to be equivalent to a non-private getter, private setter automatic property as it is now?

That's clear - but that's not the case presented in the slides...

"Automatic" is clear, "getter-only" is clear, but "automatic getter-only" leaves me scratching my head.

What's the use case for a getter-only auto property? I can't imagine how that would work, does someone have any insight?

edit: is it "same as a public readonly field, but it's a property"?

I would add that (i) the pricing you can see on the details page http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-mac... are already inclusive of Windows Server licensing, and (ii) depending on the nature of one's shop, it might make sense to get a MSDN subscription instead - and that's probably why people are talking about recurring costs to use the platform.

I'm not sure there's a point in using anything but Google Flights, to be honest... But in my experience hipmunk is among the best in the rest of a very crowded pack.

Actually it bothers me because I am the "CTO" of a 3-people company - when we started, I'd have preferred less glamorous titles, but my partners saw an advantage in using standard terminology to clearly separate our roles...

So no social policing - it just stirred some latent doubts about my current title :)

Of course in the end it matters little - this kind of silly discussion is good for a working Sunday afternoon. It's not like we can do anything to stop people from bandwagoning on the cool titles of this week...

I'm always torn when I hear about the "CEO" of such a small company (or, in more extreme cases, the CEO of a one man band) - from one side, I see that it gives a clear impression of how the tasks are distributed within the company, but it still sounds a bit weird. What do you think?

It's not so bad after all. http://codio.com, on the other hand... ;)

How many of the people who are bashing the paper in this discussion are machine learning experts? Especially the overfitting crowd - looks like emotional attachment to one's favorite topics is not really impacted by said person's overall education and expertise.
