Why? Unless you check "don't ask again" it will always ask...

Jupytext solves this for me completely. It is an extension to jupyter code which can be turned on (globally or per-notebook, with additional configuration options) which automatica…

But they rarely host the bad shit themselves, so it still is easily blockable.

Of course, agreed! How?

But there is zero reward for showing replication results. Not novel enough, you won't get published. And if you're unable to replicate it then maybe you just did it wrong, or there…

I understand quite well the connection between static type systems and proofs, and how compilers work. As pointed out by another user here, an amazing amount of optimization can be…

While informal, I do not think his tone lacked civility. I strongly prefer papers written in this style. Not only are they more enjoyable to read, but they are often easier to unde…

I don't think that was his motivation, I think his motivation was stated quite clearly in the abstract: > The author's lone goal is to show that the entire field might have evolved…

Julia does this. You can run the code and you get the output right next to it in an expandible dialog. You can write your while program this way, executing a line of code, tweaking…

The community of people using Swift for numerical computation essentially didn't exist prior to their announcement, and after their announcement it seems to only consist of the tea…

Except it basically only runs on MacOS, which means that it doesn't have strong datacenter support, which means that it won't be used in any serious applications. It's also not dyn…

Many of my relatives seem to have no interests or hobbies. I mean sure, they watch TV and movies, but it's not like they are deeply interested in them, they serve more as pastimes.…

Wouldn't this argument also apply to cars? In fact, there's always some inherent risk that the item you're buying is damaged in an unnoticeable way, even if it is new. What if your…

Because they don't make money directly from iMessage, they make money by selling the hardware, and the fact that iMessage only works on their hardware increases it's value and furt…

No, I was saying that it is strange that the debit card is only free if you use it a few times. If you give me a debit card and I don't use it, what did it cost you? A few pennies …

What a strange rule. Debit cards presumably only cost the bank money if you use them.

Banks are associated with much worse at the higher levels of the income bracket.

Reading the link, it seems that Jeremy Howard only tried out Swift because Swift for Tensorflow existed. I got the impression from your comment that using Swift for this purpose wa…

That might explain why they chose it, but it doesn't give me (or anyone else who isn't familiar with Swift already) any reason to consider it.

I like differentiable programming a lot, but can anyone explain the motivation for Swift as their language of choice for this? I assume it was simply because they wanted to get Chr…

Not the person you originally asked, but I can share a relevant experience. I definitely have concerns with the amount of data Google has about me and, in particular, the idea of C…

How do you stop the bots from upvoting? If you make people fill out a recaptcha every time to upvote they just won't bother.

Then that's not great, based on the way I (and, from observation, many others) use search results. I often middle-click (or control+click) several links which look promising, loadi…

I see. I can see some benefit to motion planning on the device if, for example, decisions are being made based on real-time data. For example, if there is a pressure sensor for the…
