"The functional programmer sounds rather like a medieval monk, denying himself the pleasures of life in the hope that it will make him virtuous." From the classic paper: Why functional programming matters by John Hughes

@EuroSupermerca 3 de cada 5 veces que quiero usar las cajas de autoservicio en el Euro de la Trv. Inferior Medellin están desconfiguradas/fuera de funcionamiento. Pueden hacer algo al respecto?

OK, this issue doesn't have much to do with people who are trained in ML.
It has more to do with domain scientists who *use* ML and haven't been exposed to common methodological pitfalls.
More courses for ML pple won't help.
More training in ML for domain scientists will.

Very interesting company: https://t.co/4cQzLnXiBi You get training in AI development for free (~6 months) you pay during your first two years, after you get a job.

Interested in type systems and applied PL research? Jane Street is (still) growing our compilers team. There's a ton of ambitious projects underway, and more to come if we can find more of the right people.

@RAEinforma ¿Es correcto usar la palabra "talento" como un sustantivo contable para referirse a un empleado o colaborador de una empresa? Por ejemplo: "Necesitamos contratatar tres talentos más para el equipo cuanto antes" #dudaRAE

It's been a year since I visited my native Mexico 🇲🇽

The other day my wife scolded me: buddy asked what I missed most; I immediately answered "the food" (right answer: family?)

Life in Medellin is a dream, but its tacos suck

Mexico is on another level. Love Thread to Tacos 👇

Lots of technical management positions open in Colombia. In my experience this is the most difficult position to find. One simple explanation: Good programmers don’t want / don’t like to manage. Thoughts?

@PoliciaMedellin Tengo la duda de si el toque de queda de hoy incluye restricción de toda la movilidad el día 25.

I'm really excited about what is going on in Latin America right now.
The single biggest thing is the quality of the entrepreneurs and founding teams.
NFX is actively investing in the region.

Happy 250th bday Beethoven!

Vividly remember stumbling into my parent's CD collection and playing the 9th.

I was 10. Recently heard "ode to joy" as a song at the end of the 94 USA World Cup

Was blown away to hear the full orchestration. Loved "classical" music ever since.

A quienes se van a dedicar este diciembre a tirar pólvora les recordamos:
1. Que es muy mal tiempo para ir a la clínica.
2. Que este año la plata estuvo muy difícil de conseguir como para salir a quemarla.
3. Que esa costumbre es egoísta y muy mañé.

Legend

@JBALVIN personifies best of Medellin:

👷 Off-the-charts work ethic
😊 Kind and charismatic
🗻 Humble but hugely ambitious

At @LaHausCom:Tu Casa a Tu Ritmo 🎶, we’ll put Medellin at center of the Tech world.

Like JBalvin put it at the center of the music world.

@Rodrisanzrios @LaHausCom Cómo? Esta es la oficina de Bogotá. Y yo que no he ido...

Congrats @IndexVentures on its first foray into LatAm!

You chose great partners in @KaszekVentures, @RibbitCapital, and @velez_david

Like Real Estate, the Health industry has long resisted technological change. @somossofia looks set to change that in 🇲🇽
