We are in a similar situation, both working from home. It very much depends on how lazy we are during the day. If musli bowls and lunch plates haven't been handwashed when we start…

I am not a designer/UX person but still thought I would give it a go. I couldn't get through more than 30% of it because of how boring and repetitive it was.

Which also might solve the mystery of why it's only available in the Netherlands? No need to built a different keyboard.

What are the advantages of this over CDK? It's trivially easy to spin up a loadbalanced service https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/@aws-cdk_aws...

Petrol stations in Germany make almost no money on petrol. I think it was something along the lines of 2-3 cents/liter. I am quite sure that they will be happy to have customers st…

Why this being downvoted: You need to use a process pool in Python, thread pools are for I/O bound tasks and cannot use more than 1 core.

I would love to know what the problem is. We do dozen of deployments every week with a ALB + ECS + Fargate setup. We upload a new container image, create a new task and launch as m…

PGMs also provide the intuition behind GANs and variational autoencoders.

I think the better scalability does not come from lambda itself but because you have to design for share-nothing concurrent executions from the start.

I think it is already through libraries. At least for lambda in python you have libraries (Zappa for example) that allow you to write basic flask and Django apps and then deploy th…

Hey, I just finished your book. Loved it! I am out of uni already and uses it to brush up.

I find it interesting that one of their major pain points was data schema. After having worked at places that use plain json and places that used protobuf I can highly recommend an…

Taxpayers already pay quite a bit to keep the cash system running. I think it would make sense for the state to provide baseline infrastructure for electronic payments.

It is ridiculous how hard it is to get ANSI keyboards here (Germany). Laptops are ok (Macs, Lenovo and Dell) but external keyboards (especially mechanical ) and any other laptop br…

I am glad other people get that feeling too. A lot of pop-sci books are not terribly bad but could be cut down to 1/4 of their length. Another example for this is "Deep work" by Ca…

If you are into python I highly recommend Zappa. It turns your flask app endpoints into lambda functions + API gateway. The big benefit here is that it is trivial to test locally b…

There are real-time sensors in the balls. Players are tracked with cameras and ,I think, also sensors in their shoes. We read about a systems developed by a German uni in an event …

What are you talking about? Google assistant is entirely ML driven text to speech and sounds great, wavenet by deepmind is almost indistinguishable from human speech.

Not to be confused with an 'Introduction to data science' book

Look at the new Nokia 'matrix phone' 8110. It is a dumb phone with some smart features and most notably 4G and WiFi hotspot functionality. At only 80 dollars or so. I am seriously …

I highly recommend "Avogadro Corp: The Singularity Is Closer Than It Appears" by William Hertling to anyone interested in some good AI scifi around computer worms/virus.

I honestly felt the same way about "The design of everyday things". The first few chapters are quite interesting but it gets insanely repetitive after a while. To be fair I feel th…

An so it begins... To anyone who has read Daemon by Daniel Suarez this sounds very creepy.

Flatshares ("WG" , Wohngemeinschaft) are extremely common in Germany. For anyone under 30 living in a major city it is absolutely normal to share a flat with 1-3 other people.

But what's to point? You will get a lot of applicants from non-cs backgrounds. Not only will they be unprepared for the job but also most likely very unhappy with their tasks.
