This makes little sense no? With 200 ELO diff Hans should beat Magnus ~1/4 games.

If visualization is required Matlab with the financial toolbox is a winner before the competition began.

Actually the only non perfect side of matlab is pricing. It also has the best help ever devised in history of cs. U can build a math PhD. Curriculum from matlab help pages.

Using built-in gitlab ci. It's definitely good enough for my ci needs. Setup was easy. Love having less tools involved in my day2day.

Some features seem to work incorrectly (ex. some combinations of branch filter rules + file changes rules). Or I misread the docs. For a free service it gives excellent value.

Circleci also good product. But having 1 less "thing" wins over most other considerations for me.

"Tie a donkey to a balcony in MIT and in 7y he has a PhD"

We live 25 minutes driving from school. ~2h of (dangerous) bike ride.

As an Israeli, I'm fully accustomed and conditioned to tell others their solution is idiotic and their ideas are dumb. But having worked abroad, I've come to depreciate this "quality" more as just bad taste and lack of manners, and less as "straight talking".

It really adds little to the conversation. It's just an IDF inheritance that should be eradicated.

One company trying to address that is Up42, a subsidiary (hope that's the appropriate term) of Airbus, building some marketplace for SAT imaging analysis.

Interested to hear Mr. glen's opinion about that approach.

The skill of "getting something done without breaking anything" which is basically our profession.

I salute this dude's commitment to Chesterton's fence.

If only my teammates had this mindset...

Your argument falls apart immediately because Visual Basic was a great language for its time.

I’ve always had issues using mDNS on a mixed os network. I assume both bonjour and avahi and whatever windows uses comply with some standard. But in (my) reality, it doesn’t work.

The teams share screen “menu” is stubbornly stack on a strategic real estate with no way to hide or minimize. Consequently, it usually hides the browser tab I’m on.

But the best part is throwing in some rdp. The teams share screen rect is carefully designed to cover the entire Remote Desktop title which is required to resize it.

Love that Bill Withers soundtrack!

I also work in the "robots for PV" space, it's just the place to be. Good luck!

By shipping lots of horrible crappy code to production and observing the outcomes.

Reflecting on what will be the greater challenge for my kids: avoiding emotional overreaction to the media's business model

  ...or climate change.

Pretty sure it's the later

cryptocurrency saving us from climate crisis! no one saw that one coming

Strangely missing: older people (40s) usually take care of X pretty small kids + N pretty declining elders while having Y hours of work + Z hours commute daily.

Seriously - I don’t even have 2 hours a day

Just to state the obvious: this is a country's Gton CO2 / pop.

i.e it's not that common French is more carbon economical than a Canadian - she just happen to have been born in a place with established nuclear power generation.

In other words - this stat means nothing.

It's pretty irrelevant to derive any conclusion about mass public education systems based on extreme outliers.

No one will "become Bach" by attending a school with good music curriculum, and no school could have input a Bach-level talent and output a median musician.

100%. All of TED comes from, or converges to, that "talk".

Feel not as though it is a sphere we live on

Don't throw away the baby. Some talks were very good. Khan, Dawkins, all of Ken Robinson, Reggie Watts. There's some great material there.

Team newbies should write unit tests.

Transition to TL: Gently explain what could have been improved instead of fixing it yourself.

Balancing the grid is so simple that a whole flock of startupish ecosystem is flourishing around this very problem - building flywheels and other offsetting facilities to solve it.

I'd pay $$ just to have someone reviewing our Raman bowel of a codebase and documenting it.

Personally I think it's pretty great that I can write Dockerfiles, run them locally, and call it the day because this is also what runs in production.

So basically I have no clue what the dude is talking about - we have a great setup which is x10 better than what we had before.

No?

This is how writing should be done.

First - you throw out your main idea.

Then - you stop, put a period, and hit publish.

If only all web content was like this post!

Caruana is the best. On top of his chess brilliancy he’s never rude or over dramatic. Infuriating that they IMxplainig over him.

Let Fabio speak!

I've used both products in production. Both are good++.

The blog wars seem extremely ridiculous to me. I don't recall ever choosing one over another based on how fast it runs on some imaginary arbitrary dataset.

Which everybody should (must?) read. Seriously, should be a mandatory read in school curriculum, instead of "catcher in the rye" or some Scottish ballade [+].

[+] not that there's something wrong with any of them
