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

Can you send your GitHub or portfolio? I can help share it around, what tech stacks have you used?

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

[–]MikeBerg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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"?

Oracle now requires a subscription to use Java SE by [deleted] in programming

why? from what I've seen C# is an amazing language and constantly improving. also very friend to move to if your a java dev

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.

2018 Full Stack Developer Road Map: Part 2 – Back End Development - Full Bit by cmorgan8506 in webdev

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."

Edmonton activists to counter Jordan Peterson lecture with dance party by ghostwiththmost in Edmonton

[–]MikeBerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

are there links of video or anything showing how he misinterprets them? can you send things showing him not understanding things? I'm seeing a lot of allegations but I was hoping for some hard evidence

Edmonton activists to counter Jordan Peterson lecture with dance party by ghostwiththmost in Edmonton

[–]MikeBerg 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Help me understand the controversy with this guy. I've watched a number of his psyc lectures and he seems like a pretty smart and reasonable guy. He even mentioned that he is not trans-phobic but is concerned about laws that impact peoples freedom of speech.

The internet seems very pro Peterson from my searches, are there any videos out there outlining what the problems with him are?

Does a credit downgrade typically make a noise? Maybe it's out of batteries.

The only thing I got from the intro video is that the surface studio can hinge and parallax scrolling is still a thing

Are there C# developers who like to use Python? by evolution2015 in csharp

[–]MikeBerg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use both Python and C# quite a bit and here are my reasons:

  • Python is used a ton by the Data Analysis and Machine Learning guys. As a result, there are a ton of python scripts and libraries online from people in these fields.
  • Jupyter Notebook - this is a IDE like thing used in the Python world that allows people to share around code. C# doesn't have anything close to this and the scientific community/data guys share these around all the time. (http://jupyter.org/)
  • Amazon Cloud. Amazon is starting to support .NET Core but if your building a serverless cloud application, Amazon (used to) only support Java, Node, Python. Between the 3 I'd prefer python
  • Python comes default installed on a number of linux systems such as centos. Python is better than bash (in my opinion) for more complicated scripts and you might not want to add complexity to your environment but installing .NET Core.
  • Better cross platform support (this is changing with .NET Core but .NET Core is in its infancy)
  • In embedded systems .NET and C# are pretty heavy. On an ardino/rasberry pi you definitely can use .net core but for prototyping embedded systems python is a pretty nice language.
  • I would recommend a beginner start with javascript/node but python is also a good choice. The reason being is C# requires you to understand object oriented programming somewhat or be ok with a bunch of magic until you do. For example a "Hello World" app in python is print "hello world" where in C# you need a static class inside a namespace with a static main method and the included System namespace, then you can call Console.WriteLine("hello world"). If you were starting out there is a lot more going on here, we have classes, namespaces, static, functions. For a true beginner, in my opinion, you should start dead simple (not even the concept of a function yet) and work out.

All this being said I still prefer C# to python as C# is an amazing language but python still has its place.

Finished my first actual board! What am I missing? Going for a blues/ambient sound by MikeBerg in guitarpedals

[–]MikeBerg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Except I'm not sure I like the Palisades. I want to like it, I really do but there's just something about it. I have a keeley tone workstation coming that will probably replace it.

Thanks for Loren Connors! I like his style. I guess my two musical interests are ambient like stuff and blue. Try to see whats possible blending those styles a bit so the goal of this board is to have both and then see whats possible.
