Good question! The parameter has been set to a touch below the optimum. Your observation is accurate, there is indeed such a tradeoff, though it is less than you might think. The qualitative behavior of the system is very sensitive to changes at that point, and the tiny bit of extra convergence you get by getting the step-size exactly right of offset dramatically by the chances of diverging.
> And yet not many people train themselves watching just these videos.

Although not that many go out of their way to train – period. You are already an exceptional case if you are thinking about furthering your education, be it through postsecondary schooling or Youtube videos.

> You generally need a highly disciplined lifestyle to get your education through these means.

More disciplined than than those who do not attain an advanced education at all, but not more than other avenues of gaining the same education.

> Many things in college have gone from 'learning' to 'getting a degree for a job' a long time ago.

The perception has, at least. The outcome hasn't. Job quality has measurably declined with increasing college attainment rates, and incomes have remained stagnant.

In my experience (we have a product where people upload Swagger files), most people write it by hand. There's two reasons:

1) Many people use Swagger to design (rather than document), meaning the Swagger comes before the code

2) Most people just prefer to write it out, since the tooling otherwise isn't necessarily great (especially for non-developers)

We ran a poll and "by hand" (either on Swagger Hub/Apiary, or locally) won by a landslide.

That's why the original ghosts had some somewhat random behavior centered around a corner of the maze for each ghost. If I remember right, at random times a ghost will head to its own corner in its own specific way. There's an article or two out there about it, it's an interesting read.

Plus, the ghosts are faster than you when you are eating dots.
This isn't really about Gödel, but I always wish that people had a little bit less of a natural instinct towards bastardized Gödelian thinking. So that there would be fewer infuriating people arguing things like "Infringing on my right to infringe on the rights of others infringes on my rights." Or, "You can't be against criticism, because then you'd be criticizing criticism." I've been rolling my eyes at these arguments for decades, and I wish fewer people thought they were clever.

It looks like the perfect workaround is to use some middleware to autogenerate the Swagger docs, at least to keep code and documentation in sync. After a while I found myself doing the opposite, using Swagger to autoconfigure endpoints (https://github.com/krakenjs/swaggerize-express) and even mongodb models (https://github.com/pblabs/swaggering-mongoose). Here is my actual reference architecture: https://github.com/pibi/swagger-rest-api-server

Best thing about this approach is the clean separation between API definitions and the implementation (all over the stack), so the teams can just discuss about how to organize the resources and how to use them.

UpMetrics| San Francisco Bay Area | Back End Engineer| Full-Time | Onsite

UpMetrics is looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer to lead the design and development of our back end software architecture.

What we are looking for:
4 or more years of experience with Ruby on Rails, including working with interactors, workers, policies and libs
Experience designing and building APIs using RESTful interfaces and SOAP
Deep knowledge of and experience with data architecture, including SQL/RDBMS, MySQL and non-SQL data stores such as Redis
Unit testing experience, and a commitment to developing high-quality code
Knowledge of Git, Github, and team-based development using branching and pull requests
Experience working in AWS architecture and services, including EC2, RDS and S3
Working knowledge of New Relic, Vagrant, RSpec and Travis are a plus

Tizen was/is mostly built out of a Samsung subsidiary in Warsaw, Poland. (Several thousand software engineers in total.) I worked with Polish software engineers for a western company that used the same outsourcing method during the same time that Tizen was being built. We had hires from Samsung and they had hires from us.

I think that what I witnessed at our company (which I won't name) is representative for what Samsung saw.

The stereotypical development model was one where individual developers were perceived as lego blocks that could be moved from one area to another about as the project(s) progressed without any regard for the individual contributors accumulated knowledge. Large volumes of contributors ("bug resolvers") were valued over smaller, coherent teams with smarter contributors.

There was also a disturbing amount of machoismo surrounding everything - nothing could be questioned; everything was a of sense pride to someone.

(What I heard from the local engineering managers supports the above.)
To me this seems backwards. Don't we define some basic objects with axioms and then use logic to find out the consequences of the axioms? We make up some axioms for natural numbers, then we define operations like addition and multiplication on them, and finally we investigate the consequence of those definitions, we discover for example that some numbers have very special properties and can be used to uniquely decompose all numbers, we call them prime numbers.

I would therefore say that mathematics is a human invention and build on top of logic, it seems in no way universal. All the things we discover in mathematics are nothing but consequences of the axioms, the definitions, and the logic used to prove things. If there is something universal, at least so it seems to me, than it would have to be logic.
>majority of recent terror attacks in the US have been committed by US citizens.

Also, the issue with homegrown terror is that you can't preemptively kick those people out. This vetting wouldn't stop 100% of terror attacks, but it could help prevent terror attacks that are preventable.
> I also tried out the "codegen" and a few other projects that generate boilerplate from a spec (for Python) - the code it generated was frustrating, lengthy, and much more complex than the simple endpoints that I quickly wrote from scratch.

Personally, I don't understand why codegen is even necessary as opposed to a pure object-oriented client that works directly from the Swagger spec. Before I knew Swagger existed, I actually implemented such a client based on my own made-up spec.[0] It's relatively naive, but I attribute that more to my relative youth in development than to the concept itself.

"That might say more about the average player of modern cod games than the AI to be honest.."

Lmao. You got me there. I didn't consider that. It does seem more than that, though, as the bots did things like camping, soloing, revenging, or careful groups. The CoD player knockoff might be behaviors like tea bagging. It did something goofy but I cant remember if it was that or something else. Once he said it was bots, I quicky found its weaknesses to start killing them in mass.

"You also did not have to suffer from kids shouting on the voicechat and all the bad community parts :-)"

You might be semi-joking but this is a real market. Lots of people got off Live or at least its voice features because of this. We're even talking on an invite-only, low-noise forum for similar reasons. So, AI or game developers should keep that in mind when making tradeoffs in marketing.

The Galaxy Nexus was released at the same time as the 4S, and its last supported OS was Jelly Bean (4.3). The last update for this OS, 4.3.1, was released in October 2013. It was not supported after this.

I can see how A/B testing might help with understanding users, but to me, A/B testing is orthogonal to Test Driven Development and early on A/B testing would probably not have enough test cases to generate deep statistically significant insights due to small sample sizes and the need to make gross movements rather than fine tuning a working process.

For Uncle Bob, TDD is a business process because he is selling consulting at some hourly/weekly/monthly rate. His client base will tend to be looking at improving stable business processes not those taking a spin of startup roulette. For a technology startup, what gets developed in house will tend to be strategic in the sense that it has a big effect on the company's velocity. Getting 'there' in three months is more than eight times as good as getting there in two years.

Business model that exists at the whim of a closed platform discovers the existential risk isn't theoretical. News at eleven.
Well, ideally the person who wrote the code is fixing it, and should know how it works. Or at least a close teammate.

But if you don't have that luxury, then it means you're hoping that the documentation is up to date, but chances are that if you don't have enough resources to have on call coverage from someone very familiar with the area that's having a problem, then there is a good chance they didn't have time to write or update documentation.

So ideally the person who wrote it has it in their head, or you're figuring it out on the fly and hoping you have good comments in the code and good metrics.

You are a normal business, monetizing users for a slice of dwindling ad revenue, but you're competing with something that isn't a business and doesn't monetize its users. That's... kind of the problem right there. People who use ad blockers are not looking for a compromise by committee which is out of their control, and people who don't use ad blockers don't even know you exist. Worse, new users of ad blockers are inevitably told to look into options such as your competitors, because they offer a more complete service without monetizing you. The only market for your product is defined by its desire not to use a product like yours, and the rest don't know you exist.

So, I understand your position... namely that someone lacking in foresight probably "suggested" that you engage on some social media platforms, with predictably tragic results. I'm sure there's a slice of the market that still uses IE or has really bought into the notion of a "community spirit" around advertising, but that is not a growing market.

Frankly I'd just keep a low profile and hope that existing users don't realize that they have options.
My impression is that Uncle Bob works for clients that have software that people are already using at some meaningful volume (volume rather than scale). I could be wrong.

Sure. There are places like e.g. North Korea where "rich corporations" don't abuse the "poor". In my opinion "rich corporations" are necessary, because Civilization requires economy of scale. And because centralized/planned ("socialist") economy is not flexible, better you learn to deal with "rich corporations" and hope where you live citizens keep their rights while dealing with a complex context.
Better question: What background is the reader expected to have?

Until Xi, not a single variable is defined prior to inclusion into an expression. Even Alpha and Beta are only defined in the header diagram rather than the body of the text. Also, why are the iteration notations in the superscript rather than subscript?

And before someone chimes in and says that rudiments are necessary to understand this work, no they aren't. The logical steps here are exceptionally simple (and intuitive - as the introduction might lead you to believe) once you get past the delivery. This is a fantastic article that could become very accessible with the proper notation housekeeping.

Here's a neat dwarf trick:

1. Obtain a vessel capable of holding liquids.
2. Drink from the vessel until it has one unit left.
3. Empty the vessel onto the ground.
4. Refill the vessel to its maximum capacity from the puddle you just made.
5. Drink from the puddle.

The problem was that puddles and spatter and liquid coatings did not have a volume.

So you can also quench your thirst by swimming in a river, then drinking the coating of water stuck to your own ear.

So the cat thing was exactly the same problem. An infinite number of cats could walk through one puddle of spilled alcohol, and then ingest enough alcohol to get poisoned by licking each body part. Lick first toe of right foot? That's a shot. Lick second toe of right foot? Another shot. Lick third toe of right foot? We're having a party now!

On the one hand, it seems like there should have been some additional effort there. But on the other, the game actually simulates that when you dunk something in water, it gets wet, and then stays wet until the water evaporates. I don't know of any other game that not only does that, but also handles dusts and powders, and things falling from the sky due to weather, and even getting diseases by inhaling vaporized droplets of a contaminated liquid.

You would think that with all that incredible detail, the pathfinding AI would not kill the framerate just from two dozen pastured sheep all trying to find their next clump of grass to eat.
Dollars work fine as a transfer currency as well, given the short transaction time.

1. I order A Thing from ThingSupplier for $1000.

2. I direct MajorBank to transfer $1000 to ThingSupplier from my account.

3. Underpants gnomes at ThingSupplier coordinate with Shipper.

4. I receive A Thing (now, The Thing) from Shipper.

There's no need to waste money in conversion fees.

What am I missing here?

Unless you're into high-speed trading, etc., the volatility of a currency is not going to have an effect, because prices don't update that fast, because ThingSupplier is not going to tie their prices to fast-fluctuating currency value. Doing that would Not Be In The Interests of their Customers.

I am working on this: https://onlyusedtesla.com/

A marketplace to buy / sell a used tesla.

My opinion is that Tesla is doing EVERYTHING differently. It would be highly likely that the Tesla on-board vehicle super-computer (currently made by Nvidia - leader in AV tech) could easily handle selling the used vehicle per the owner's request automatically online. All Tesla vehicles are connected to the web via LTE 24/7.

I hypothesize that a Tesla owner or Tesla could automatically upload vehicle mileage, age, options, etc. on to a dedicated used tesla website. Perhaps onlyusedtesla.com can be an exclusive website to Tesla (the company) through a strategic partnership. (know a guy who know's a guy?) can you get me an intro? anyone have elon musks email?
