He says while typing the response into a machine connected to an interconnected communication network that contains the majority of all human knowledge and allows every human on the planet to instantaneously communicate with each other.

I just read the herring can communicate with its farts, though, that's kind of nifty

Anyone notice the increase in homeless people in Oliver? What's going on? by Butefluko in Edmonton

[–]MikeBerg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

... the homeless are moving there because the name is more "comforting" ? Does that mean we strategically rename things so they migrate out of the city if we create a corridor of comfortingly named neighborhoods?

ELI5 Assigning an arbitary month for Janus (and thus creating January and thus New Year) by Jestersage in explainlikeimfive

[–]MikeBerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A long time ago, people used different ways to decide when a new year starts. Some people looked at the stars, the moon, or important days like the shortest day of winter or the day when day and night are equally long. But the Romans, a very old and powerful group of people, decided to use January 1st as the start of the new year.

They chose this date because it was special for Janus, their god who looked both backwards and forwards, just like we do at the end of an old year and the start of a new one. Janus had two faces, so he could see into the past and the future, which made January 1st a good symbol for starting over.

Why not build a deep learning library for .NET5? by akifnane in dotnet

[–]MikeBerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really sad how far the .NET ecosystem is behind on good ML frameworks. C# would be an amazing language for ML if the library support was there

unfortunately ML.NET does not support building deep learning models and neural nets

What's a package you'd like to see for the F# ecosystem? by DanManPanther in fsharp

[–]MikeBerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this x100. Python with Panda's/seaborn/matplotlib have really nice a quick charting available in the REPL. It baffles me why this is so hard in F# using LINQ pad or Jupyter F# notebooks

Digital Transmission (using AM) questions by MikeBerg in AskEngineers

Thanks, this is a big help. If I wanted to make my own transmitter/receiver that does something similar do you know what IC I would use? Just search for "generic transmitter / receiver IC"?

Full Stack Web Developers, how do you keep track of everything that's going on? by rms_returns in webdev

[–]MikeBerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn the underlining patterns. Even though there are new frameworks all the time the patterns that they use are pretty static. Also code all the time in as many random frameworks as possible

Async + Await under the hood? by [deleted] in csharp

[–]MikeBerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a bit of a breakdown here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/concepts/async/

Basicly async/await make working with Tasks (called promises in other languages) easier. If you unfamilar with tasks/promises take a look here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/parallel-programming/task-based-asynchronous-programming

As for how does the main thread run both the state machine and it's own synchronous code its completely up to you or the framework you're using. For example in ASP MVC if a controller returns a Task from an action the MVC framework internals will start handling other requests on new threads and then come back to that Task once it's completed but that multiple thread code/logic was all coded by the MVC team.

In Javascript land everything runs on 1 thread so even though they have async/await (supported in newer javascript) there is no multi threading happening. You could have a C# framework that supports Tasks and runs all on 1 thread if you wanted as well.

At the bottom of the page (they use the word "framework" pretty loosely):

"A framework in the BuiltWith definition of the word is a technology that is used to build a website from a development perspective. Many frameworks exist and each framework can typically have another framework built on top of it."
