Stub for F# Machine Learning Dojo
// This F# dojo is directly inspired by the
// Digit Recognizer competition from Kaggle.com:
// http://www.kaggle.com/c/digit-recognizer
// The datasets below are simply shorter versions of
// the training dataset from Kaggle.
// The goal of the dojo will be to
// create a classifier that uses training data
// to recognize hand-written digits, and
// evaluate the quality of our classifier

The fun of implementing date support
After spending the better part of the month implementing date support
in RethinkDB, Mike Lucy sent the team the following e-mail. It would
have been funny, if it didn't cause thousands of programmers so much
pain. Read it, laugh, and weep!
-----
So, it turns out that we're only going to support dates between the
year 1400 and the year 10000 (inclusive), because that's what boost
supports.

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016

// paste in your console
speechSynthesis.onvoiceschanged = function() {
var msg = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance();
msg.voice = this.getVoices().filter(v => v.name == 'Cellos')[0];
msg.text = Object.keys(window).join(' ');
this.speak(msg);
};
