Giroflex··on Transform Data by Example [video]
This isn't the machine's fault, though; for a small number of linearly independent examples there exists an enormous number of possible functions that match the training data. It has no way of guessing, really.
Giroflex··on Snapchat installs fell 16% in April; Instagram continues to pull further ahead
Considering an install valued at $.26 [1], 4.1 million installs (the difference) is worth a bit over a million dollars, in one month.

Either you make enough to make a million bucks a month insignificant, or you just have little sense of scale.

Giroflex··on Vy – A Vim-like in Python made from scratch
Legit question, what's a good alternative for tkinter? I agree it's terribly inconsistent and unpythonic and generally a displeasure to work with.

Qt has license issues; GPL wrappers are a no-go and I still can't completely understand LGPL so I'd rather not risk it.

It surprises me that given Python's size there isn't a one go-to permissive licensed GUI library.

Giroflex··on An analysis of the Nomx secure communications device
At the very least there was bad faith from trying to stall and making false claims about updates and disclosure to costumers in the e-mail chain between Scott and them.

I'd also doubt they "had two of the largest security firms provide remote and "in hand" vulnerability assessments on nomx", or else they just completely ignored their advice.
