Falsehoods programmers believe about time, in a single list

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

  • There are always 24 hours in a day.
  • February is always 28 days long.
  • Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

Training TensorFlow models in C

Training TensorFlow models in C

Python is the primary language in which TensorFlow models are typically developed and trained. TensorFlow does have bindings for other programming languages. These bindings have the low-level primitives that are required to build a more complete API, however, lack much of the higher-level API richness of the Python bindings, particularly for defining the model structure.

This gist demonstrates taking a model (a TensorFlow graph) created by a Python program and running the training loop in a C program.

The model

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

How to serve a custom HTTPS domain on GitHub Pages with CloudFlare: *FREE*, secure and performant by default

Instructions

CloudFlare is an awesome reverse cache proxy and CDN that provides DNS, free HTTPS (TLS) support, best-in-class performance settings (gzip, SDCH, HTTP/2, sane Cache-Control and E-Tag headers, etc.), minification, etc.

  1. Make sure you have registered a domain name.
  2. Sign up for CloudFlare and create an account for your domain.
  3. In your domain registrar's admin panel, point the nameservers to CloudFlare's (refer to this awesome list of links for instructions for various registrars).
  4. From the CloudFlare settings for that domain, enable HTTPS/SSL and set up a Page Rule to force HTTPS redirects. (If you want to get fancy, you can also enable automatic minification for text-based assets [HTML/CSS/JS/SVG/etc.], which is a pretty cool feature if you don't want already have a build step for minification.)
  5. If you
