I very much agree with your comments regarding mailing lists. Unfortunately they aren't good tools for self-promotion and building one's personal brand which I think are often times more important to the author of the tweet than the content. I think thats part of the reason behind the impedance mismatch between subject and the choice of forum.

This ins't meant as knock against Kelsey because I think he's great. I have much praise for him. It was more a comment on the frustration of twitter as a medium.
Most people I have spoken to about this say exactly the opposite. In 2014, the project even ratified a Code of Conduct [0].

In my experience, there's usually two parts to this:

1. Initial external paid marketing (in the form of Adwords campaigns, email blasts, facebook ads, affiliate programs, etc).

2. Reworking the product until the "viral coefficient" is higher than 1.0. The viral coefficient(aka "k-factor" or "k value"), is basically just the likelyhood that one existing customer will refer another customer. So if your k-factor is above 1.1 for a given period, your initial userbase will grow over each period with no additional marketing needed.

In practice however, few startups ever reach a k-value of 1, so many rely on a combination of virality and traditional paid marketing in perpetuity.

Nokia was seem like an old generation mobile manufacturer after Google released Android to the world, computing was then staggering that both Apple and Samsung are competing and own countless patented and fabrication is quite a profitable for their survival.

"Results from models with alternative cutpoints at 1980

Also would it be normal practice for a study like this to make the raw data aviailable? I'd love to take a look. As it's not totally clear how the 3.3% figure was arrived at.

This sentence struck me as a little odd:
"For example, I use employment from 1985, reported in survey year 1986, to predict marital dissolution in 1987"

I would have thought unemployment in the actual year of divorce would be more important when looking for a corellation? Not looking at the husband's unemployemnt two years previously?

It shouldn't. However, many of the tools assume the ability to e.g. mount filesystem images as part of the process. Which does require root.

What's the problem with specular lighting on bump maps? I think I see what the issue can be, specifically, that when the bump map texture is smaller than 1-1 texels-to-pixels, then the normal chosen will 'shimmer' between the possible texel values. But can't one use mipmaps for bump maps as well to reduce this?
F# is definitely a great language. It would be amazing if the interop with Entity Framework was improved, too, with regards to code-first development. Not having a nice and easy way to define virtual properties on records and classes is something I miss a lot:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26775760/how-to-create-a-...

Not sure how difficult it would be to implement a [CliVirtual] attribute (https://fslang.uservoice.com/forums/245727-f-language/sugges...), but that would definitely help and make the EF-models more readable.

But in general, F# is great. I hope more people will use it.

> That should really be an event stream, but if you want to find all `unassigned` orders, an index would be good.

No, an index is not good for that, because it only has 4 values (at most 4 times faster than a full table scan), and it hammers the index on every update, using PostgreSQL or not.

Same for the two column index: single column indexes on pickup time and creation time are highly selective, and their values are updated basically never, whereas status has low selectivity and updates are common: combining them you don't significantly improve selects on the two columns, and limit the performance edge on time select where time.

Status index only performs well when you select one of the values which is is significantly underrepresented in the column (e.g. all except completed). The most performing approach without doing black magic is to split in columns with separate indexes: Assigned Time, Pickup Time, Completed Time. If you want unassigned ones, you select where Assigned Time IS NULL, same for the other columns. Performance on update for most RDBMS blasts, as index updates are now distributed among several, allowing higher concurrency and overall throughput.

> How did they conclude it was both significant and caused by radiation? 24 people from a similar background and age is less than 24 people.

Quote from the abstract:

> To test a possible mechanistic basis for these findings, a secondary purpose was to determine the long-term effects of simulated weightlessness and space-relevant total-body irradiation on vascular responsiveness in mice. The results demonstrate that space-relevant irradiation induces a sustained vascular endothelial cell dysfunction. Such impairment is known to lead to occlusive artery disease, and may be an important risk factor for CVD among astronauts exposed to deep space radiation.

They didn't just do some poor statistics with a low sample size.

So, their findings suggests that low gravity for a 6 month period doesn't affect the health of the mice but the radiation does. Not far off what we already suspected but with a small twist (cancer was probably considered a bigger risk than CVD).
Technically I'd say it's not just the PokemonCamera (which everone has turned off except when they want to take a picture of a pokemon in a cool location). The game augments reality by providing a virtual layer that you can only see on the phone (poke stops, arenas, spawning of pokemon). Yeah it's not the shiny AR of projecting objects into the room but I'd argue it's augmentation regardless.

If someone has a organizaiton which founding goal is to stop something, then I would argue that they have a right to write a blog post about it. Wow! Supremacy right?

Whats next? Should we complain that greanpeace make blog posts against oil companies right to dig, sell, and burn coal?. How dare they, writing a blog post about the very purpose of their organization. If they ever create a separate organization in order to advice companies in how to create green energy, I only hope they don't write a blog post where they criticize members who utilize their supreme right to use of coal!

It must also be time to go and stop al those political parties. Every single statement a political party do is somehow trying to argue how people should act, do, and behave. How dare a political part do that! They must be out to gang up on people and force their supremacy over all mankind. Political parties goals "are not exactly aligned with everyone else" you know, so shame on them! They should be made quiet, censored, and forbidden to use the extreme force that is blog posts!
Well Ingress also exists. But I'd agree if you mean mass/mainstream use case.

My experience being interview by Amazon is mixed...I had a screening call + three phone interviews with Amazon, for an elite devops system/network team. They were amazing and very nice people, from the initial RH contact to the technicians evaluating me. Actually to be fair, EXTRA nice people. On the other hand, some other recruiter messed up, and put me with an interview that I only found out at the last minute it was for a system help desk position in some other occasion. That experience was horrible, and the technician who was supposed to conduct the interview missed it and passed on the interview to an indian employee which accent I barely could keep up with...I just did not abort the interview out of respect. What I would say is that they handle differently people that applies for the more important positions, and in that respect, they are not much more different from other big players in the industry. To give credit to Amazon, their hiring process seems to be saner than Google, where you get contacted by a lot of clueless 3rd party headhunters that try to coax senior people like me into lowly positions that do not match our experience.
Many things mentioned in this article are not actually true. The publisher seems biased. Russian officials say different things.
I think the most Russia will do in the nearest 5 years is the same as Kazakhstan's officials: force users to install special certificates if they use secured connection.
And American and European govs likely have plans to do such things too. They have already copied a lot of laws about surveillance from China, Russia. etc.
> Linux or CoreOS

Well, now I'm confused
On what planet does this statement ring true?

Microsoft were the first to release Windows as a full on tablet-OS, at least half a decade before before even the iPhone existed. Forget about the iPad. That was at least 10 years later.

Microsoft delivered a full version of Windows XP (which was what was current at the time), capable of running all Windows software. No emulation. No limitations.

The problem was that most Windows software weren't really nice to run on a tablet, so the platform had limited appeal. Besides that you had the hardware issue: A "tablet" at that time was at least as heavy as a laptop.

It was way before its time, and as such, was doomed to fail. But don't come and claim Microsoft foresaw tablets as a platform for limited capability computing for answering emails only and such. That's what Apple delivered.

Microsoft had the right vision, and they were willing to execute. It's a shame it didn't turn out better.

Shipping is already tremendously automated. The remnants are most difficult, and the environment is difficult and has some particularly bad failure modes.

There are numerous tasks shipboard which aren't readily automated, and once you have one person aboard, you tend to need more (cooks, maintenance, multiple shifts, mechanics, etc.).

The reduction in employment in shipping since the 1950s, particularly relative to cargo handled, is already immense, much of that from containerisation though.

No moonshot by a big corp has paid off?

I used to work at Google. I remember the term "moonshot" being thrown around, it started with Larry and Sergey. If there's a definition for what this means, in the Google context, it's in their heads and nowhere else. But the way I interpreted it was "really really ambitious project".

One thing I do remember is that several projects that were described at the time as moonshots did pay off. The one that comes to my mind immediately was Street View. The idea of driving a car with a spherical camera down every road in the world seemed completely insane at the time it was first proposed, the idea it might make money even moreso. But Street View worked, and whenever we switched on SV in a new country usage of Maps in that country permanently increased. It really increased the value of the product, and in turn I guess it also raised ad revenues (or it'd be odd if increased usage didn't correlate with increased ad revenue at all).

There were others I remember. Rewriting the web search indexing system more or less from scratch was a big one. You don't hear much about that, but it was a big risky effort to rewrite the core of your product from scratch.

I think people tend to take past successes of radically ambitious projects for granted. Android was a moonshot at the time. We don't think anything of it now, but it wasn't clear at all it'd be so successful.

Outside my house is a crossing that waits until a gap appears in traffic before letting the pedestrian cross. Usually, by the time this happens I have already crossed the road (because a gap has appeared!).

Optimising "traffic flow" only seems to cause an obstruction for local pedestrians and cyclists. The only real purpose of a crossing is to restrict pedestrians so that excessive vehicle traffic can be accomadated. They should either prioritise pedestrians or reduce traffic.
Brooks Blueprint Software THE TRUTH
I write lot of c# at work, and Resharper really help.

When c# dev see f#, always ask for tooling like resharper.
That's because you expect to have same issue/experience of c# development, but it isnt.

In F#, there is a lot less need for Resharper help, but that's become visibile only you start writing code, because the compiler help you a lot more than c# compiler

Writing f#, lots of the issue fixed/highlighted by resharper are not possibile, the language fix entire classes of problems (like null ref, make invalid states impossibile or really difficult, type safety for external data, etc)

And refactoring is really easy, because function usually are passed as value, so less need to rename things.

Last is, having less code, there is less to change. Seem a simple reason, but that's it.

For example because methods/function doesnt explicitly write class/types in the signature (are infered), there is no need to change it when is renamed.

Or refactor: extract function is just indent or move, because compiler will complains about missing capture closure, etc, and with immutable data, it's easy

Another really strange feature (it's not a bug) of f# ordering of files, make you cleanly separate types/functions in separate modules, making the creation of entangled code that may happen with c#, really really difficult.

At a quick read, the study this article is based on seems like it's either a parody, a pointed critique of abusive statistical methods, or a terrible misunderstanding.

On the bright side, the paper seems clearly written and is freely available[1]. On the not-so-bright side, they conclusion of the study is based on the a sample of 7 lunar astronauts, of whom 3 died of cardiovascular disease. 3/7 is 43%. Surely they can't be claiming to have a statistically significant result based on the having 3 rather than 2 lunar astronauts?

Yup, that's exactly what they are claiming. 3 of the 35 non-flight astronauts died of heart disease, which is 8.5%.[2] Since there were 5 times as many in this group as the lunar-flight group, that's the upper multiple of 5X. For the low-earth-orbit-only group, 4 out of 35 (coincidental same number) died of heart disease. 4/35 is 11%, which gives us the lower 4x.

Maybe as so often happens, the author of the Ars Technica article putting more weight on this minor detail than the authors, while simultaneously removing the carefully phrased caveats? Given that the title of the article is "Apollo Lunar Astronauts Show Higher Cardiovascular Disease Mortality: Possible Deep Space Radiation Effects on the Vascular Endothelium", I think we can eliminate this excuse.

I'm hope I'm being too harsh.[3] Perhaps someone with a better grounding in statistics than me can defend their methods and show me what I've missed?

While this might not be the OP's point, but for me the main problem are the one-character variable names. Generally computer code that just operates on cryptic one-letter variable names, is considered bad code. Yet equations almost always have one letter variables and the worst part of all, their meaning is almost never explained anywhere

Case in point, what are b, a and c? what is their meaning if I have to measure them, what is the device for measuring them or what quantity do they represent?
