Is OpenAI planning to be a part of this?

What was your thesis? And what are some areas do you see RL being applied (besides the somewhat contrived game solvers we've been seeing)?

I've also never heard this. And IMHO this is very wrong way to think about it. Bootstrap is a comprehensive set of well designed and coordinated UI widgets and paradigms. And it's all customizable, so you don't have to get stuck with that "bootstrap look".

Well, you can be rich

It sounds reasonable, but with DNS you'd get geographic distribution for free, right? Won't you have to do something like sharding to achieve a similar thing with MySQL?

> When someone clicks a link to a Wix site... That server has to resolve the requested site from the site address by performing a key/value lookup URL to a site.

So Wix uses MySQL to resolve site routes internally? Is this the best way to do it? Would it be possible to use internal domain names and rely on DNS to resolve everything?

Is there any mention of how much the deal was worth?

Seems like mostly an acquihire, does Coin even have a steady revenue stream?

> Because LISP is expressive and C is fast and I wanted the best of both worlds is the short answer.

I'm not sure how well known it is, but some Lisps can be statically compiled to machine code.

But one thing I've wondered about is how good can it get? Are there any benchmarks for Lisp vs. C?

The western calendar didn't even exist until the 1500s, so asking for the calendar in 16AD is sort of contrived.

I think better UX would be show me the closest one to today, which is 2016

Ha, I thought it was packet switched network routing as a service.

Article doesn't mention the big difference between the recursive and iterative Fibonacci solutions, which is the O(2^n) and O(n) respective time complexity.

Other tools for developing / comparing RL algorithms:

* Burlap (from Brown-UMBC) https://github.com/jmacglashan/burlap

* RL Glue http://glue.rl-community.org/wiki/Main_Page

Also looks like some of the challenges come from ALE: https://github.com/mgbellemare/Arcade-Learning-Environment

> and of course we have class syntax now anyway

Even using Class syntax you're still locked into prototypical inheritance model. There is no classical inheritance in JS. (Probably a backward step in UX to call it "Class")

What's the incentive for helping you pick the next big startup? What if you gave users a trivial amount of equity for their input?

Turns out getting a production site up and working has little to do with finding the k-th permutation...

I feel sorry for the young developer

What we need is to put this into a Docker container then parallelize the cloud instances using asynchronous message brokers enterprise

I can't imagine how many enterprise sales they're losing because of lack of SQL support

> Misconception #3: Gulp’s Streams Are Necessary for Fast Builds

The author fails to acknowledge that gulp is also asynchronous. This is what makes it "fast". Streaming is just a nice abstraction for passing data through a pipeline.

Sure you can do async on command line but that's not trivial and the author doesn't address that.

?

I'm late 20s and I played doom on DOS.

It's also about direct sales. Similar to what Tesla is doing with cars. Traditionally consumers have bought mattresses from suppliers (Sleepys, Mattress Discounters, etc), but Casper et al are marketing and selling directly to the consumer.

> You spend your time writing plain ‘ol JavaScript. That’s the future I believe in.

How about a future where you don't write any code at all? This is the beauty of Angular's markup-centric approach, it's declarative so that means less code, which means less opportunities for devs who enjoy typing to screw things up.

Jeremy Keith made a good point in his An Event Apart talk [1], where he talks about HTML slowly subsuming interactive elements (e.g. like how HTML5 adds better form type support). Angular is pushing things into this realm by helping to take code out of the picture more and more.

So who'll be the next GovWorks?

> which pays me a SF salary despite me living in Montreal

I'm not sure what cost of living in Montreal is, but I'd be surprised that jvns is making less than 100k in SF. If Stripe were smart they'd increase her salary stat. Just based on her excellent blog posts and her insatiable curiosity, this is not an employee you want to lose.

Can anyone justify the down-voting here?

The company name is one of the least important things you should be worrying about at this point.
