    Good point. If you haven’t read “They’re Made out of Meat”, you’ll find this short story very amusing: http://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/thinki...

    Same here! I was going with the assumption that standard environments are going away since they haven't been updated for years.

    I think you got it backwards. Which seems to be a fairly common mistake because, intuitively, we tend to associate the amount of work to the amount of value. In Bitcoin, and other …

    One idea you might want to consider is to create a global function, let’s call it h() and pass all your human readable strings through it, like so h(“hello world”). This function, …

    Actually I prefer standardizing on double quotes and I do that in my code on a regular basis. I know some people use a mix, sometimes single quotes and sometimes double quotes, whi…

    You can now do it quicker with CTRL+Shift+V (Windows) and Option+Shift+Command+V (Mac). Both will paste without the formatting.

    Does Swift have a large community beyond iOS apps? Last I used it was years ago, right after it was introduced by Apple. I'm curious if it has found growth in other areas.

    I’m very curious about the use of such cloud finder. But, to answer your question, the Mask RCNN model would be useful if you want to identify individual clouds. As in, find clouds…

    I don't see this flag on my version of Chrome (64.0 on Mac). Are you on the beta branch?

    Yes, totally agree. TF is solid and it’s still my goto tool, but the API has a very low elegance score, to put it nicely. Clearly the team has a lot of brillian engineers, but they…

    Not only the language, but have at least one line that says what this is. I can guess that it’s a hosted notebook service, but I can’t tell how it’s different from Jupyter Notebook…

    It gets worse, actually. People often, accidentally, click on the pen icon after highlight some text and end up highlighting that text permanently for all readers. And you, as the …

    Thanks! Done. Although I hope I was clear that my comment is general and not specific to the topic at hand. I just think people should share the facts but be careful about making a…

    This is a general comment not specific to the topic at hand. If you have facts to share then do so. But if you 'feel' that someone has an ulterior motive and you share it in a publ…

    This architecture is optimized for accuracy rather than speed. The official paper reports 200ms inferencing time per image on a GPU. This implementation is likely a bit slower beca…

    Evaluation code against MS COCO is included in the repository, both for bounding boxes and segmentation masks so it should be easy to run (but takes a long time). We should publish…
