God says Line 52915...

126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build
it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the
bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the
womb is his reward.

127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of
the youth.

127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall
not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

5:11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as
heard these things.

5:12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders
wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in
Solomon's porch.

5:13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people
magnified them.

5:14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of
men and women.) 5:15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into
the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the
shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

13:18 And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such
robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his
servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

13:19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers
colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on
crying.

13:20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother
been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother;
regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother
Absalom's house.

13:21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very
wroth.

13:22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad:
for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

Not to be pedantic, but this was too generic. It reads like a cliche.

If the author provided specific real-world examples (nod to DHH v. Curebits) it might help to lend some depth.

To be perfectly blunt, we all wrote this shit like this in 7th grade, but no one else thought to post it here.

I think learning statistics definitely helps. Simple things like averages, stdev, probability, etc will help you. Also a healthy knowledge of SQL goes a long way.

But more importantly, its learning how to be a detective. For example, I'm not strictly a math person. I also know Python and PHP and use it to write scripts when I need to validate a theory, often working with raw logs.

You also need business acumen. Analysts are like consultants in that they work with a variety of teams and stakeholders. Everyone wants to be sure that the decision they're making is the right one, and data can help them do it. So you need an understanding of what the core issue is, how the stakeholder wants it solved, and the engineering capability to get it done in a timely fashion.

One of my favorite books is Collective Intelligence. Its a soft-intro to machine learning, and having read that and gone through those exercises along with taking a formal class on machine learning, has helped me see the importance of statistics applied at web scale.

EDIT (to the PS):
I don't think there's a standard teaching for data science. Everyone screens for it differently. If you apply for a job as a data scientist at LinkedIn for example (I did) they'll expect you to have a fairly formal CS background and will throw you questions any good software engineer should be able to solve. But they also ask you questions like "design a news feed" or "whats a good algorithm for a spam filter and how do you score it" or "how do you make an algorithm work with little data". I think "data science" is actually learning how to apply statistics at web scale problems, so my advice would be to look at things like recommenders, spam filters, classifiers, NLP, etc.
One possibility is the amount of money to be gained. According to http://www.quora.com/What-is-Dropboxs-revenue, "revenue is on track to hit $240 million in 2011". Google, on the other hand, made $37,905 million in 2011. Microsoft made $69,943. Apple requires too much effort for me to get the numbers, but it's more money than either Microsoft or Google.

So my theory is, "why bother?" If one of those companies needed a few more million, there are easier ways of making the money.
If you abstract the layers of science , you'll realize that "God" is just a concept we've taught ourselves below the abstracted layer of language ,which in turn, is below the layer of science. Therefore there's something higher, which we don't know of because we haven't developed enough to reach that depth of abstraction ;)

In order to squeeze every bit of productivity out of my day, I've experimented with several different sleeping patterns, including but not limited to polyphasic sleeping (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep).

In my experiments, I've come to realize that nothing comes close to optimal sleeping patterns than letting your body decide for itself. Depending on the activities you engage in through out the day, the body may need fluctuating amounts of rest. I don't think that one needs a consistent amount every day. A lot depends on the activities you have been involved in as well as your mental and physical state. Sleeping too little however, which seems to be the goal of many polyphasic sleepers is great if you are mostly performing mundane activities. However, ample sleep is essential for doing any kind of creative work.

The human body is extremely good at picking how much rest it needs. If you can afford to, follow your body clock instead of an alarm clock and sleep when you feel tired. Over the years, I find that naturally we are bi-phasic sleepers, requiring a long rest at night and then a short nap in the afternoon.

This part in particular:

"Yes, we maximize for users who spend over $10k. These users even have names. They're called "whales" in industry parlance. Why wouldn't you want more of them in your game? This is a business afterall. I feel just as bad as the next person wondering whether some of these "whales" are addicts. I don't want to be creating products for addicts. But what if these users are just rich people who have tons of money to spend off the cuff? There's no way we can know because we never get that data. All I see is what's reported in ItunesConnect."

I think the somewhat layered nature of it is what creeped me out. It kind of reads like an internal dialogue of somebody trying to justify their own actions to themself.
He seemed, to me, to be talking about the Google/Apple folks in some gaming league, not the general employees.
This is something I've done recently in Go: it's actually an exercise I first read about in an Erlang book. It's the book "Erlang Programming". In the book he describes this exercise: "Implement a simulated world inhabited by carrots, rabbits, and wolves. Rabbits roam this world eating carrots that grow in random patches. When they have eaten enough carrots, the rabbits get fat and split in two. Wolves run around eating up the rabbits; if they manage to catch and eat enough rabbits, the also get fat and split. Rabbits and wolves within a certain distance of each other broadcast information on food and predators. If a rabbits finds a carrot patch, other rabbits will quickly join him. If a wolf finds a rabbit, the pack would start chasing it."

I've written this now in Erlang, and in Scala, and most recently in Go. It took me way more than a weekend, I'll confess.

I don't doubt that a degree can take much more time or work. In fact I'm sure it probably does, which is all the more reason to NOT go that route.

That's awesome that you want to push things forward. We need that, but what I'm saying is that nothing is going to help you except down right resourcefulness. You're going to have to go deep and master something to do that, sure.

Five years ago, I think you would have been right. The resources to get started weren't there. Today it's all changed and now resourcefulness gets you so much further than it ever has before.
You get those million dollars only today--not on that day he has taken right decision.
I remember being told not to wander around downtown Nottingham around 11pm (when the pubs let out) after football matches because of that rowdiness. I also think it points to the cultural nature because I never had that concern in the other parts of the UK I've visited (I spent about six months over 2.5 years in the UK, well over half of that in Nottingham).

My boyfriend likes to brows 4chan and similar sites looking for images. He loathes the comments. So a while back I wrote a user.css to resize all the comment text to about 3px. You could still tell how much people were talking, and possibly make mouth-flappy motions with your hand while making noises like Beaker, then giggle.

This makes me happy in much the same way.

MAME Turns 15, And Why it is Important
On my business trips to Paris, nobody refrained from drinking because I don't drink. I would have been mortified if they had. How strong is the "we don't drink if someone doesn't drink" culture? Is it related to social drinking as opposed to, say, having a glass of wine with dinner? I'm just trying to understand the culture and how I can expect my not drinking to impact relations there.
In other words, they are now valued at $100 billion, but providing the most basic privacy functionality imaginable, after being given years to do so, is just too expensive?
This is an awesome, insightful comment and really highlights what I'm getting at.

You're right that they both have weaknesses. What I'm saying is I'm willing to go all in on the person who figured out much of it by himself using whatever he had available to him than the person who had a college instructor put together everything for him and then provide additional readings, power points, and web links to all their students.

A smart person has to think their way out of a box. A resourceful person can just hack their way out of the box. I don't mind a little mess, so I'll take the resourceful person over the smart person everyday of the week.
I think that might be what he was getting at. In my mind both the groups sort of meld together as "non-engineers".

If you can't handle a pointer, you have no business being near a compiler. If you don't know why you (usually) don't want to handle a pointer, you have no business calling yourself an engineer.

Extra Mile Strategy
So there is a place off of Monetery I believe where there are pipes that extend out into the ocean from the beach. Waves coming into the beach push water up the pipes, the other end of the pipe up on the shore has sort of a pipe organ type end with a flapper valve so it plays one note when the water rushes in and another when it rushes out.

Imagine a square tube that at one end underwater is just an open pipe which connects with this square tube which goes up out of the water on the beach to a pool which is say 10' above the water line. The pool has a drain which feeds a square trough going back down into the water.

The trough has a micro-hydro wheel in it. Or just for fun a pelton water wheel type wheel which drives an animated sculpture.

The interesting question for me, is this; Can the Tesla valve reduce the back flow of sea water enough that the following wave arrives with the valve still holding water?

Intuitively you can see that if the valve is 'full' when the wave returns then the next wave will push its mass worth out the top of the valve. If the valve is say 'half' full then the next wave should fill it and every wave after that should dump a 'half' wave's worth of water into the pool. This would be a good problem to set up for students learning computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as they could vary things like the angle of the elements, their size, and their quantity and characterize the abilities of the valve for various fluids.

Anyway, its a really interesting gizmo.
this is definitely true.

The Emerging Wisdom Revolution
I've been wondering about this myself. Why are videos supposed to be better than the same content presented as a textual tutorial (with some multimedia content like animations)?

I can think of several advantages of textual content over video:
- you can compare different parts of the text (for example, to discover an analogy) more easily
- you can read at your own pace (you can't slow down the video)
- skipping between different places is easier (just move your eye instead of using a slider)
- it's easier to find the exact place you want to read
- textual content can be easily revised by the author, which enables gradual improvement and error correction

Can someone please explain to me what the big deal about video is?
As I said in another comment, I think this industry is still in its infancy and getting a lot of its mechanics worked out. I don't honestly believe we make a game targeted to addicts, otherwise I could not work there in good conscience. But I'm also not ignorant in thinking that addicts aren't part of our userbase.

The question that confronts me when I go into work everyday is how can we make this game fun for everyone, and how can we make money in a non-destructive, ethical manner?

Someone in this thread gave a great example: their company makes "photobooks" and this effect is used in the preview before you order to make it feel more "real". I think that's a legitimate use.

I don't use SNMP neither do any other operations people I know. Its interface is complicated, hard to navigate and a pain to manage.

"I don't want to be creating products for addicts. But what if these users are just rich people who have tons of money to spend off the cuff?"

Did you ever stop to consider perhaps money isn't the worst fallout? The families of addicts suffer as well–and I suspect, when we look back years from now, we'll see a pattern of spouses and children ignored & damaged because companies like Zynga analyze/optimize everything in order to maximize engagement. A single person can't compete with that.

You're not just engineering people to part with their money–you're using your skills to get them to part with their time.

Sorry, but I consider what you do (& Zynga does) unethical.
Well, the good news is that even if you're a big company, the Apple App approval process is just as annoying for you as for everyone else.

I have a traditional education, BS in CS & EE, and it seems to me that it never has been relevant in my professional life. I'm not talking about what I learned in college, that part has been useful. I'm talking about the certification aspect. I finished college 29 years ago, and in all that time I've never had the issue of showing some kind of certificate come up when being offered a job. Maybe I'm an exception and I'm underestimating the certification aspect, but what I'm more concerned about right now is that he wouldn't experience meeting many different kinds of people if he stays at home to study instead of going to some campus, and that doesn't feel right to me.

I'm also concerned about how complete is the curriculum at Udacity going to be. I'm sure all the CS classes are going to be pretty good, but what about other subjects like math & physics? I wonder what they are going to do about that and who's going to teach them.

I think adding a machine learning method on reordering/prioritizing the links would be a plus...the input data for the machine learning system would be the links user clicks to read as well as links to which user clicks as favorite...
or may be pulling the keywords/tags from a given link's page and then checking how many links are clicked under a certain tag will surely help ordering the links by tags...its just my idea on how to help user to read his preferred links/topics....your inputs are welcome!
Many people have difficulty going to sleep even though they are tired. There are many reasons for insomnia. When the mind is too active, we have a hard time going to sleep or even if we do go to sleep, we are restless and do not sleep deeply. There are many theories and opinions about how much sleep a person needs and it certainly varies according to state of health, activity and circumstances. But most of us would agree that the deeper and more peaceful the sleep, the more rested we feel the next morning.
