Here's my counter-offer: Just unban me and I won't make another account. You've already banned me dozens of times. This account had a good run, but if it's time to drop it, that's …

This guy has the most smug and condescending picture of himself that I have ever seen on a professional website.

Efficient market hypothesis is nonsense. A lot of institutional investors are long-only. That is their mandate. All the information they may have does not change that fact. It is u…

Tensorflow-JS is that framework that you export to from Tensorflow. Tensorflow-JS is not Tensorflow, it's just the same brand.

Smash that downvote button to make society more just and less racist!

That "tiny minority" still has an outsized impact. The pareto principle applies to pretty much everything.

So you're saying that telling people to shut up will not actually change their minds and make the world a better place? I don't like that. I'll give you a downvote, that will set t…

Fair enough, it's arguably cynical to tell the children that Santa Claus isn't real. However, we're all adults here. The highest-quality software can not win in the software market…

> This is just pushing testing to the customer. Correct. > Why would the customer report a bug instead of switching to a less buggy product? All products are buggy to varying degre…

I don't buy the "bugs caught early are cheaper to fix" paradigm. Most bugs are caught early without special precautions, but special precautions can be quite expensive. Most softwa…
