I have a feeling that might be the point. Still, the subject remains the same - just ignore if it offends you.

So I started working for a new company in San Diego 3 1/2 months ago. I'm working as a contractor for another month or so, then I come in full time. I really love this new company.
However, my actual employer is out of Boston. They are a firm that supplies developers to other companies. Since the day I started their on-line timesheet app has not worked. Entires are not saved, various issues entering job code, etc..
Finally it stopped working altogether. Now, when I click the link I get an error page showing
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
My first thought was someone didn't null check a references. Should be a fairly easy fix.
That was 4 weeks ago.
In the meantime I have been tracking my hours in Excel and sending that in and they enter it for me. They've finally screwed up my pay... Mailed me a check and then direct deposited TWICE the amount the following week... I was paid TWICE for the same week.
Finally, yesterday I get an email from the main contact there which she was forwarding from their IT tech support:
Hey Mary,
I tried logging in with his credentials. Please have him try the following.
Username = kevin@blahblah.com
Password = GXXXXXXXXXXX (capital G)
Let me know please!
The email address and password WERE SENT IN THE CLEAR in an email!!!!!

Right?
The extra money is sitting in savings earning (a tiny bit of) interest until they take it back.

Well, that certainly narrows it down. 
I think I have an idea for a time-keeping system. Have everyone make a CP membership and tell HR the name. Every morning, log into CP and post an "I'm here" message in your personal forum, then add replies as the day goes along -- out for lunch, back from lunch, etc. HR can then scrape everyone's entries to get the punches. Simple.

Right now reading this book about Neuron Network in C#[^], yeah! 
Ok, I have to say it does help me go into a subject which has always been nebulously mysterious until thus far, so.. it must be good right?
On the other hand the book is somewhat obscure (luckily I am very keen to understand WTF is going on!!), it is riddled with very average programming and... really really poor math!
I mean where in the world the derivative of 1 / (1 + exp(-x)) is even remotely related x * (1 - x) ?!?
Well in the book that's where[^]!!

If you pick x as Sigmoid(actualX) it's fine
|
|
|
|

not sure what you mean...
far from 0 this function is approximate to (const) 1, hence its derivative is approximately 0, and it its integration function (not sure of English name) would be x (is it what you mean?).
but:
1. x is the approximation of the .. integration (? not sure of name), not the derivative
2. -x^2 != x, where -x^2 is the value he suggest
3. -d^2 + d (the value he suggest) has 0s for x = 0,1, 1/(1=exp(-x))'s derivative has no 0, i.e. it behave very differently
[EDIT]
Ho, I just got it!
You suggest I could use (x) as activation function, right?
No worries, it's even in the book!
You just confused me with your terse off topic answer!

If that sigmoid thing is s(x) = 1/(1 + exp(-x)) then its derivative is s(x) * (1 - s(x))
So either the author of that code was confused and mixed his x's and s(x)'s, or it's correct but used in a way that is not immediately obvious from that implementation.

Ho... I see...
what a strange notation hey!
And from the book so far it's not obvious that is what was needed!
Thanks, might help me in my deciphering more of the book tonight!

I found out the guy right next to me at my new job is on codeproject. Not sure his username.

Guessing as soon as the keylogger picked up "give code plzzzz", loctrice turned it off in disgust

Try and get him to casually bring it up.

Maybe he is not logged on, and only lurks.

I'm not sure I want him to know who I am.
Yeah, he can just find out by searching I guess.
