Is there actually a thing in physics where you change the measurement by observing it?

I do electrical engineering, and as far as I know, the uncertainty principle means that as the signal in the time domain gets more localized, the signal in the frequency domain gets more spread out (and vica versa). I think ( I don't know for sure) position can be thought of as time domain and momentum can be thought of as frequency domain (or it might be the other way around).

I'm not sure if this relationship actually leads to the Futurama "No fair, you changed the outcome by observing it!"

I could research this to find an answer, but it would take me way too long.
No sense?

What if you are happy with the current version and don't plan on changing it before changing the OS? What if you don't install more than one app on a system, or are using containers? Then you might not need the extra complexity.

The article isn't clear but the deviation is either from the sample mean or the mean of the underlying random variable. You are trying to find the expected difference from the average and hence the absolute value(otherwise, the positive and negative deviations cancel out).
To me, "scripting" means writing code that's not intended for re-use.

The compiled / interpreted distinction is sort of unimportant - I certainly wouldn't refer to myself as a "Python programmer", because all I do is use matplotlib to make figures for publication, but the guys and gals who wrote matplotlib are most certainly "Python programmers" in my book.
> Which suggests a nice solution if Congress were to be reasonable: amend the DMCA to clarify that ContentID itself would invalidate safe harbor

ContentID is more acceptable to the only potential litigants against whom Google would care about the DMCA safe harbor against than is the process which makes available the DMCA safe harbor, so that wouldn't matter.

A safe harbor is a protection against legal liability which you otherwise might have. If you have a separate arrangement which is both lower cost for you to operate and more acceptable to the only people against whom you are concerned about using the safe harbor than the actual safe harbor process, you don't care about a safe harbor.
Observer effect.
In my experience, at some point someone will write f(x, 2) instead of f(x, 2.0). This especially happens when you are trying to debug something at the REPL. The addition of the // operator has really solved the problem and given us the best of both worlds here.

> About them blocking (but still bundling) flash in 2016? I'd honestly be more questioning why they ever bundled it in the first place.

Google bundles Flash with Chrome so they can push out Flash security updates quickly and seamlessly.

Adobe's non-Chrome Flash Player has its own update check, but it's not automatic. The "updater" just opens the adobe.com download page. The user must still manually download the real updater exe, unselect any "special offers", run the updater from wherever their browser saved it, and restart their non-Chrome browser.

I wonder how common Flash would still be if Google hadn't bundled Flash (and paid Google security engineers fuzz and fix Flash bugs).
> But if Python dies, I won't really be sad. Better languages are out there. :)

Like what? I'm curious, because I've tried a lot of the newer languages out there, and I haven't found a general purpose one that I like nearly as much as Python. Elixir is really cool, but it has a pretty narrow focus, which makes it difficult for me to make the investment in learning it.
Google doesn't make websites be lightweight. Heavy websites get indexed just like any other. If they want to make a heavy page and accept the penalty, there's nothing wrong with that.
It happens when people use the mod system to vote their position on a topic. I'm guilty of this, and I do think "agile", as a noun in quotation marks, has gone badly wrong.

A lot of us have just gotten really burned. It's immensely fair of people who do stand behind agile methods to object to the mischaracterization of agile as a set of micromanagement techniques. But to a lot of us, that is now our experience with "agile." A daily "standup" where a team lead (who often doesn't write code) asks for a progress report and follows it up questions about whether this means we'll still meet our deadlines, followed perhaps by questions about what we can do to make sure we still meet them. You're welcome to say that this isn't what agile intended, that it is a corruption. I'd agree, completely.

The real disagreement here will be whether "agile" methods are inherently unstable enough to invite this sort of corruption. The notion of daily standup is just so tempting for people who wish to micromanage, deny developers autonomy that can't be measured in daily increments, and apply deadline pressures. In many ways, they may be scratching their heads that the developers themselves proposed this arrangement, but ok, sure!

I just finished watching a game of thrones episode, evidently the plan here is to invite an outside army in, order your own army to stand down, have the outside army to put down a rebellion, ask them to leave, then reassume power? What could possibly go wrong?
My point was not that there is no reason to believe developers will continue to be necessary, just that they do not seem to flow from "a software controlled world."

I think a lamb roast, lightly seasoned before roasting, is one of the finest meals you can get. The flavor of the meat is exceptional, and you really owe it to yourself to try it if you can.

Costco sells lamb roasts for a reasonable price. This looks like a pretty decent recipe, although I never make sauce for my lamb--it's certainly juicy enough as-is: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/rosemary-a...

Another great use for the Costco lamb: cube it, marinade it in French dressing for a few hours, then make kebabs alternating the lamb cubes, chunks of bacon, and pineapple pieces. Cook it on the grill, it's fantastic.

Working with Atom has opened my eyes to the idea that the web technologies are the ultimate UI platform. HTML+CSS can build any user interface and allow extreme customization.

Atom is slow and chromium a resource hog, but these are limitations of the current implementations, not inherent to the technologies themselves. A Servo-based UI toolkit with well thought out DOM bindings could solve both of these problems spectacularly.

But I'm glad this exists and I'm excited to see a light cross platform UI library that works across multiple OSes and languages. I'll probably use this for my future native UI needs.

yeah, that's why I had to use the parens saying that it was clearly data that would affect their stats (think about studies where you can only extract data from 5 rats per group, etc.). Also why I said normality-assumed parametric tests. There are many other parametric tests which aren't based on "normality" assumptions. But yes as you said, you can absolutely use normality-assumed parametric tests on non-normal data within reason and your conditions you listed are within reason. Of course this is my opinion and my opinion could just as easily be entirely wrong as decided by the expert community :D

And as always, your allowances depend on the test you are performing :P Also gotta love statistics for keeping a large list of customary exceptions determined by the community too.
Why do I care if it's using an "old-style cast" (I presume something like `(float)var` instead of `float(var)`, replacing a reserved identifier with a macro, or contains implicit casts (like `1.0 + 1` instead of `1.0 + float(1)`)?

Bad article. There is technological constraint that leads to inability to use end-to-end encryption when using bots (note that they are not only Google's but also 3rt party's). Same is true for other messaging platforms that use bots including Facebook Messenger. Individual messages are encrypted inflight. If you need end-to-end encryption then use incognito mode. IMO this looks like a perfect balance of privacy and functionality.

> as far as I know, the uncertainty principle means that as the signal in the time domain gets more localized, the signal in the frequency domain gets more spread out (and vica versa).

That is exactly right.

And you can also tell a similar story for the position-velocity relationship: if you make a wave by throwing a rock into a pond the resulting wave front will be circular, i.e. the position of origin of the wave is well defined (it's where the rock landed), but its direction of travel is not.

By way of contrast, if you want to make a wave with a well-defined direction of travel, the only way to do it is to make a very wide wavefront, i.e. one whose position is not well determined.

thanks! I have to let you know that my idea stage also took some time, so you are on the right path. I think an idea is a good one when you dont change your mind quickly to do something different.

Would there be more piracy of online video had no DRM? It only takes one person to try hard enough to rip a video and put it on a torrent. Conversely, I don't think removing DRM would increase viewers (not that many would not watch a movie they want to see due to their thoughts about DRM), but at least the providers could save a bit of money without it.

That's it. Sigma puts too much weight on outliers, giving them the power to distort summary stats. MAD doesn't.

All it shows is that there is certain group of people which will pirate even if the content would be given for free.

The people that would view paid content should not be punished with DRM, that only works on certain platforms and certain browsers.

It actually makes pirated product much better than original. Pirated videos besides being free work on all platforms, you can view it on your computer, phone, tablet. Living or visiting a different country does not revoke your rights to see it, and you can make as many copies of it as you want.

Aside from (impoverished) pockets in the Southern Tier, upstate-and-downstate New Yorkers generally approve of Gov. Cuomo's moratorium on fracking, not to mention the fact that some of the best shale gas deposits are underneath NYCs watersheds. There's no chance fracking will get a green light in this state without some pretty hardcore regulation.

Not to mention, the kinds of folks that tend to "buy and pay for" our government live and work in the tri-state area. Don't expect them to risk their health and property values anytime soon.

Equating fracking risk with poor regulation is like assuming moneyed resistance to fracking in NY will work everywhere.

Don't let the boogeyman scare you away from cold, hard, scientific fact: hydraulic fracturing, when done properly, is safe and cost-effective. The regulatory culture surrounding it has a huge effect - nobody's denying that - but the real risks are not scientific or engineering: they're political.
You fell into a very common logic hole on that one. The parent comment never said anything about the US, and never attempted to draw a comparison between the US and China. The auto-reflex to assume they were making a comparison, is the logic failure. Criticizing X does not inherently mean one is defending Z; pointing out Z's flaws, does not negate the flaws of X.

Unless you live in Palestine? No liberal ousting of pro-Israel CEOs.

Of course, the reason might be is that the issue is a complex one, there are many reasons to be pro-Israel other than wishing ill of Palestine/Palestinians. Why is that nuance not exist here? "Support prop 8? Must be homephobe then!".

Eh, Apex certainly isn't amazing (and the debugging experience is absolutely awful) but the limited code I have to maintain in our org (where workflows and other drag-and-drop tooling weren't sufficient to get the job done) has been quite easy to develop and maintain.

Problems usually come from trying to make applications that aren't well suited to the Salesforce platform work on it natively - it's great for CRUD apps with workflows, a custom visualforce page here or there and some more complicated logic implemented in Apex sprinkled in - but if you are resorting to Apex to do the majority of your work you are likely using the wrong tool for the job.

I agree that the bytes/string problem is a tough one. But the dev team created it and dropped it into the laps of it's users.

The Windows API had the same problem, it was ASCII and then they added Unicode. But instead of just forcing your app to exclusively use a single one of them (sort of like use Py2 OR Py3), they allowed you to mix and match your code, and call either the old or the new version of the API. And gradually, people stopped using the older version and started using the Unicode one. Today, new Windows APIs are strictly Unicode.

Of course, the solution was ugly from their side, having 2 duplicate APIs for the same thing, but it didn't brought pain to their users and allowed them to proceed at leisure.
