The day trader who picked up the $20, ecstatic from his arbitrage win, puts down on the ground a $100 hoping for larger gains.

Or the high frequency trader who spends $20,000 on a machine to try to find all of the $20 bills on the ground before someone else does.

I saw that you mentioned running Hadoop/Spark on your cluster? Do you have any comments on that? I just made a 3 node RPi3 cluster and I have to admit, it's really slow. Like getting the spark Scala interpreter running takes about a minute before anything I type registers in the console. (NOte: this is my own cluster not a PicoCluster TM)

When all 4 cores are under load, the BCM2837 on the Raspberry Pi 3 will rapidly reduce the clock rate after about 60 seconds (from 1.2 GHz to 600 MHz, or even 300 MHz if the core temperature exceeds 85 degrees Celsius). Cooling is required if you want decent performance for prolonged periods of time.

The RevPi Core 3 is equipped with a high performance cooler which is able to sustain 1.2 GHz at full load for about 20 minutes (at room temperature). After that the clock rate will be moderately reduced to 1.15 GHz.

A 4% heat throttle seems an unusually subtle adjustment. If testing has found it to be effective that is a good finesse.

How much does all this cost you per month?

Probably about 10 cents.

Great resource. I have a chrome extension http://compakt.nhatqbui.com where I naively added ML features but it was too inconsistent. I now understand the cautioned approach the guide advises on adding ML to a product.

I typed 'c++', hit 'Enter', clicked on second article titled 'c++', and got the article for the letter 'c'.

As I read through this thread, I'm wondering what the "new" programming languages are and specifically, which are being used in production.

Swift, Rust, and Go are the current mainstream "new" programming languages.

Probably add D and Elixer to that list.

Scala is only 12 years old. Go is 7 years old, for comparison.

Yep! F# is also 12 years old.

Languages generally take 10 years from someone starts working seriously on them until they are ready for wide adoption.

Thanks! I'm fairly new to JS. I introduced a new dependency on a node module and for some reason gulp-uglify isn't working on production mode. I'm going to give this a try.

Anybody know of a laptop+OS combo that can give me the same fluid navigation of windows/workspaces as OS X?

That has always been the best feature for me: snappy, fast, fluid window/workspace navigation with the 3-finger swipe. Great for going back and forth between docs and the IDE (split-screen makes texts too small for my 13").

Generation 48. What about you guys?

Generation 10, which was weird, but got to 70k points before I closed it. I wonder why mine was so much lower, sheer luck?

Yep. A good metaphor for evolution in vivo.

Generation 12. 12k+ http://imgur.com/a/PtvLI

I left it open in a tab while I was out for several hours.

Generation 11, score 1M+. http://imgur.com/GjpAFAz

Generation 22 @ 17k points and rising. Looks perfect now?

What application can I use to generate those JSONs for the models?

For the models you may generate their file with blender or other 3d editing tool.

But if you mean things like spheres, boxes, tetrahedrons and others - you may write them manually, isn't it easy(?)

It's 50% chance that we will make an editor for it (cause it will be super easy with such API)
