Why? As long as the price range of Google stays as it is I see no danger for Adobe. And as long as Google doesn't even provide an easily accessible API for raw data (or configurable multi dimension data export) I see no danger there. Did I mention classifications not costing additional dimensions/variables?

On the other hand I hope Adobe takes a very close look at API performance, segmentation et al.

Both tools have their strength and weak spots. Both might be the right tool for the right cient/company/use case. As always it depends on the circumstances.

Disclaimer: As an analyst I work with both tools. And the more I do I prefer Adobe Analytics.

PS. : The same goes for the respective tagmanager solutions.

It's really timely information - my girlfriend who has the health/immune issue was just making "Korean carrots" which are shredded and, I believe, fermented or at least pickled (not sure if that's the same). I bought her a bottle of kefir too, it's a popular and commonly sold product here in Central/Eastern Europe.

Funny thing, she once went through a phase of making home-made yogurt and also bought some kefir "seeds", little white blobs of culture. I saw that it's quite simple to multiply/generate a regular home production, so I'm going to recommend that she start the hobby again, for improving her health and immune system.

The issue you described of sneezing and stuffy nose every morning affects quality of living, and I hope fermented foods can help clear it up.

There's no downside to the FAA for overblowing risks -- just like they've overblown the risk of cell phone use for years.

Even if there's one chance in a million of a cell phone affecting avionics or a small drone damaging a plane, the FAA's job is to minimize that risk. They aren't responsible for cost or inconvenience to anyone outside of the aviation industry.

They wouldn't mandate that Boeing install expensive and complicated parachutes in every plane due to the huge cost to the industry and dubious benefit, but there's really no drawback to the FAA for imposing a drone ban.
The primary limitation I've found with Markdown, and the one reason I revert to LaTeX for longer documents, is the lack of support for equations. I'd love to be able to just add LaTeX math between dollar signs.
We shouldn't forget that these things exist and reduce child porn to snapchat and selfies.

No, of course we shouldn't. There really are bad people in the world, and some of them really do do very evil things, and there really are good reasons to have police and security services, and they really do need reasonable powers to enable them to do their jobs and deal with the bad people.

But what we should do is keep these things in perspective and ideally set public policy based on evidence and rational arguments. Creating security loopholes that might help the authorities to find and stop a small number of genuinely evil people but might also create millions of new vulnerabilities to be targeted by other evil people (or even the same ones) isn't necessarily a good trade-off.
I use Dvorak because default installations of most OSes carry it, including Linux, Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, and Android. I realize there are potentially better alternatives but it would then become a pain if you have to use someone else's machine.
I think just asking for a degree (in a computer-related field) is kind of a dumb idea. I don't have a degree, and I'm very successful at my software development job. The best programmer I know has a degree in Psychology; another has a degree in Biology.

From my own experience as an interviewer, "has a degree" was absolutely not even a factor when determining who was good and who wasn't.

It's not exactly news that HTML is verbose. I just like having the HTML I'm writing look like HTML. It's a fairly minor thing, and I wouldn't particularly mind using a different syntax, but on the whole I find it a bit easier to work that way.

It would be nice if it had more of a Jade indentation like syntax. The angle brackets and closing tags are just syntactic noise.

If we want to go with the code route then the DOM as code is actually really clean with Coffeescript.

When I was confronted with this dilemma for the first time I attacked it by using multiple passes. My original draft is markdown. I pandoc it to DocBook. Then I add frills and edits in DocBook.

>I tell them to send what they have in after two hours that I'm as interested in seeing the structure and thought process than the final result.

While this seems like a good idea on paper, you know that people are not going to stop after 2 hours unless you force them to (i.e. by doing the assignment on-site).

>get it done in 30 minutes, and intermediate 2 hours and a junior probably not finish.

What kind of exercise could a junior programmer not finish? Give up or produce miserable code sure, but not being able to finish? Do you require some really strange domain-specific knowledge?

Yes. I hope people get the chance to re-invent slavery, racism, genocide and every other horrible thing over and over. I have strong ideas about all of those things, but they are part of what humanity is. Maybe humanity will change, maybe it wont. I want to save it either way.
It's hard to tell whether this is a joke with a lot of truth, a genuine sideways takedown of the effort being reported in the article, a cynic's lament, or just a straightforward answer to the question of what would be the most helpful (if not most accessible) action for these authors. In any case I find it a tremendously compelling comment. It evokes a lot in a very small footprint.

I was nodding and agreeing right up until he got to the part where he was talking about how he's using Hyperscript as a replacement. Hyperscript's just the same problematic design with a different syntax.

Of course not, but they're 99.99% of the way to letting me use them to sign up for potentially spammy registrations, and for me they need to go 0.01% of the way further. Since I use it for so much important communications, I really am not budging on this, and will continue to use mailinator for throwaway registrations until they stop requiring me to send my base email address in plaintext to potential spammers.

Another potential issue is that someone might not necessarily want to associate these registrations with the same user. For example, after the Ashley Madison database was compromised, the intersection between those users and the users who are millionaires and billionaires could be quite valuable to criminals, or, for example some lawyer or something. (For extortion.)

If the base email address is included, that intersection is easier to find, via compromise of other email sources. The current solution is just not secure enough to be used, and I don't use it. But I like it, and it's 99.99% of the way there.

C is actually quite simple, even the aliasing rules (I think the aliasing rules all fit on about a quarter page). Programming in C though is anything but.

The tension between weakly typed pointers and the desire to generate efficient code is where there is a problem. More or less anywhere you violate the aliasing rules you are doing something that Fortran doesn't allow at all, and by disallowing it semantically the hope was that C programmers could have their cake and eat it too. The reality is that all systems code should probably be compiled with alias analysis disabled.
I'm a bit torn about this. I almost always come down on the side of 'less red tape' but I strongly suspect that putting in place a lightweight licensing framework for drone pilots is the best way to ensure the greatest amount of freedom for hobbyists going forward.

The other alternative is no regulation at all, and wait for the inevitable idiot to cause an incident and then the whole enterprise gets shut down as a knee-jerk reaction.
Starcraft is a cool next step yet it kind of seems unfair in a way since the AI has distinct advantages in certain areas (namely, precision). A pro can play at close to 300APM but are those actions always 100% precise when moving the camera/etc? It seems like unless you level the playing field in this regard it may be hard to take a lot of value from the AI winning since it may develop strategies that rely heavily on its advantages in those areas. Maybe that is completely fine though, or doesn't actually matter if strategic decisions trump precision.

No Limit Poker is a pretty interesting problem, especially when it comes to reinforcement learning...can an AI learn to adapt to different play styles?

Both of these games raise an interesting question as it relates to how exploitable a reinforcement learning AI will be in games where high risk decisions have major impacts and there isn't perfect information. Will the AI learn to have a more overall conservative approach to guard against these plays or will it itself exploit them.
This is one reason among many why people who write serious low-level code (e.g. game developers) think all the new aliasing rules are completely bonkers.

We implement our own allocators all the time. If you can't even do such a basic thing legally, then the rules are obvious nonsense.
I am sorry to hear about your Dad, and its very ironic in a way...both of my grown sons are super careful about substances so I think I get what you are saying.

Yeah whew...thank you very much for your kind words BTW. To tell the truth the hard part isn't staying totally sober these days, the hard part is trying to find a place in society for a 50yo man who has none of the obvious material trappings of a successful life and a whole shitstorm of dirty laundry that is only a Google search away.
genuinely curious (not trying to pick at your point at all), how many USA plane crashes could have been prevented if a parachute was present and working? (The amount of instant drag that parachute deploying would product at a jet's stall speed (> 150mph) is probably more than a fuselage would handle well, given the lightweight engineering.)

A designer sees this and thinks "How unoriginal, I could do this much better!"

But that is as if a front-end dev would see a WordPress page and say, that they could do it better.

They probably could in many cases, but do you want to?

Timeline profiling with Chrome DevTools in practice
Thanks for the name, with it I was able to find the article I was thinking of: http://samy.pl/opensesame/
I'm not sure they've demonstrated adequate support that a bird strike can be equated to a drone collision. Drones are plastic and metal, versus the very light and porous structure of avian bones and musculature.

Additionally, you can't just do this sort of probability calculation when the human operator is an integral part of the equation. Birds don't fly in an area limited by their operator. And birds aren't (as far as we know) going to try to fly their drone over an airport (for one example) to get some unique footage that has market value.

This really seems like a vast oversimplification of the issue at hand. I'd much rather see them firing a drone out of a canon at high velocity into an aircraft cockpit (a la MythBusters chicken gun) to show what the actual damage of a comparable drone strike would be rather than just assuming "drone == small bird" based purely on a mass of 2kg.

Crytek reveals pay-what-you-want CryEngine V
Fair point. What are the laws on producing evidence, whereby the evidence constitutes a challenge to review?

E.g. If I was ordered to produce logs that may be evidence in a case, and I only had and only produced a 10GB+ text log with a single line the warrant was interested in. Can a warrant order me to parse the log to find the relevant information?

Furthermore, at what point does a digital space become similar to a physical space? When I can carry 3 hard drives that can contain almost as much information as the Library of Congress print collections, is it reasonable to think of them as "one thing" for legal purposes? In that if you have access to the physical container, you have access to all its contents?

Half-kidding, but where is "growth" in your calculations? A big reason why companies discount their "fixed costs" (e.g. full-time employees' salaries, rent, etc) is because if they can get a marginal profit on their goods, then it's a matter of "making it up in volume". A company can still be losing a tremendous amount of money but have a bright future (I think this is what Amazon did for years): if you're making $0.50 per item, but have $1b of overhead costs, it very well might be possible to get to a profit, it just means you have to move a LOT of items.

A normal chess match last about 4 hours. If we divide proportionally the energy of the day, that will be about 400Wh. I remember a factoid that says that the brain consume the 20% of the energy of the body at rest (less % while running) (more % while thinking?), so if we cut the unnecessary stuff [0] that will be 80Wh, i.e. 10 batteries. Probably the phone is more efficient.

Can't find the reference now, but in recent interviews the AlphaGo team claimed that one of their next steps would involve training a system without that training database, from scratch (simply by playing lots of games against different versions of itself), and that they estimate that it would be just a bit weaker.
I'm going to read the rest of this paper, but it looks like the title here is misleading. The last sentence of the abstract:

> These results identify empathy, and social skills more generally, as previously unknown predictors of mathematical achievement.

Edit: added:

> Contrary to our hypothesis, we found no relationship between systemizing and math achievement after controlling for domain general abilities and no relationship between the systemizing brain type (greater discrepancy between systemizing and empathizing) and math achievement.

More edits:

The "negative correlation" turns out to be only for "calculation" and the values are r=-0.22, p=0.02, with a sample size of around a hundred individuals. This is a negligible effect by any stretch of the imagination. Sounds like the authors did their diligence in writing this up, and it's the submitter's fault for the linkbait headline.
The comparison to those stupid boondoggles doesn't really do the scale we're talking about justice. A few percent of gross world product is 4 trillion dollars per year. That's more expensive than the entire Second World War. That's enough money to fund NASA for two centuries. That's enough money to launch the mass of the empire state building into LEO twice using current disposable rockets.

How did you go about creating this? As in how do you find out about all these podcasts, topics, who's in it, etc?
I'm all for the advancement of drone technology, and I think that the FAA was perhaps a little too conservative with the way they handled the usage of cell phones on flights for quite sometime, but I can't blame them for their stance on small drones as they don't want to bear any responsibility for the loss of life due to some miniscule probability of a phone causing a problem in-flight. It's worth looking at a the cause of the Flight 1549 incident:

"the bird encounter occurred at 3:27:11, when the airplane was at an altitude of 2,818 feet (859 m) above ground level (agl) and a distance of about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) north-northwest of the approach end of Runway 22 at LGA." [0]

This could've easily been a drone which caused the incident. Now, it's possible that the FAA can put limits on drones(e.g. 400ft AGL or whatever it is now), but there may be people who attempt to circumvent this. The fact that people will shine laser beams into flight decks from the ground doesn't inspire confidence that people will respect their usage in high traffic areas.

You might be interested in taking a look at PullApprove (https://pullapprove.com/) -- basically you put a YAML in your repo that defines what code review looks like for your team (who, when, how many need to approve, etc. -- http://docs.pullapprove.com/). Approval/rejection can then be triggered by PR comments and it uses the status API so you know when the PR has passed review.

Code review "rules" can get pretty complicated since everyone works a little differently...not sure if GitHub will ever try to tackle that or not but we've got a lot of customers who are happy with how PullApprove fills the gap.
