Why do they talk like that? Like inventing new stupid words and torturing existing ones, instead of just straight forward saying what they want to say?
* Powerful functional features
* Powerful OO features
* Imperative features
* Powerful type system
* Great stdlib
* Great syntax
* Very fast write/test cycle with worksheets, way better than a REPL

Scala may not be the best on any one axis, but the combination is unparalleled.
Follow-up: How do you transition to productionizing your code after iterating in them?
Does that negate the truthfulness of LeCun's response? What would Gebru rather he do or say?
I feel like I can't tell what the desired form of action is from the article, and I'm unsure what good it does for removing bias from ML to attack prominent figures (on twitter let alone anywhere public).
I don't find it surprising, but do find it sad. Few people understand how the internet works, and that there's probably an alternative to every platform, utility, or library out there.
It takes a lot of the legwork out. Obviously you're referring to the likelihood of a major email provider marking you as spam, which is pretty likely if you're sending much volume. But if you have all your ducks in a row, you just might be able to make it work with this.
I finally put my photos up on my personal website. The only constraint I gave myself was to build a site that doesn’t need Javascript to load.
In the end I ended up using Next.js as a static site generator that pulls all the routes from my directory structure, making it possible to add new photography collections and filters as I go.
Might be overkill for the use case but it was fun to learn. The irony is I had to write a bunch of JS to produce it.
Still need to optimize the image sizes and I am thinking about adding filters for b&w/color/format.
It's spiteful.
Lessons learned that might help you guys out: - Consumers want everything Zillow has. Until you actually build Zillow AND THEN start to innovate on top of that, people won't come. - Zillow is developing the "everything app" for home buyers. Read their quarterly reports you'll get insight to what they are doing - Consumers in this market won't pay for a service give Zillow and others are free. Market is tough - Brokers are paying other fees and don't want to buy additional software. - Realtors are not doing well in this market so this must be a huge value add or they won't come. They also require a mobile version because they are on the road a lot. - Validate that your company is not just a "feature" but truly something different. A lot of times, Zillow can just build out the feature itself. It already has a first pass at using LLMs for search
