At first glance I really like the idea of Microsoft/Nokia/Android manufacturers giving away free phones to get developers to write for their platform. However it makes me wonder: does a platform where the developer chooses it for their personal phone yield better apps?

The Monte Carlo simulator is a very simple and weak heuristic by itself. In UCT go players it's inseparable from the tree-traversal/expansion algorithm, which uses data propagated up the tree from the MC-tested leaf nodes to decide which move sequence to explore next.

When it's expanding the search tree, every node expansion is arrived at "intelligently". It starts at the root node, and at each branching, asking itself: which following move is the best mixture of good (based on MC games I've played on the leaf nodes of its children) and unknown (ie I haven't explored that branch very much yet). It does that at every node until the leaf, where it expands a node with the MC-simulator (and then propagates the result up the tree). So unlike some other tree-search algorithms, it isn't cobbled by having to expand all paths to a certain depth before exploring a particular sequence deeper. The result literally looks like a tree: some branches are really tall, maybe 18 moves deep, while others are really short. Even though the "heuristic" is MC, I don't like calling it brute force, because it uses the results of those MC games so well.
Looks nice!

Accusations on both sides that the other lacks the requisite dedication for membership in the guild or that the other is allowing itself to be exploited hint at the larger and more delicate issue of equitable working conditions. Culture is generally associated with technology in any case, though here the term signifies an attempt to distinguish programming and programmers from the "culture" of the corporate workplace, under circumstances in which one cannot easily speak of classes with differing economic interests. One resorts to a euphemism like culture (management versus programmers and system administrators) in lieu of class.
Those aren't pronouns. Making up fake names would get very confusing for the reader.
Imagine applications that blend multiple subjects (math, science, history), presenting the material not using your standard “preach at you” teaching technique, but instead using role-based or video game style interactive learning that makes the kid WANT to study, gets excited about the subject.

Basecamp uses textile, not markdown. I don't know of an option to switch it. I would be thrilled if it in fact used markdown -- I find it much quicker to write.

For this particular customer, maybe the WYSwhatever is a little easier, but not substantially - I personally prefer the old Basecamp overall.
it can get confusing when you import a lot of things, but for quick prototyping I prefer to just do `from package.this import that` and then be able to `that.execute(element)` instead of having to type `package.this.that.execute(element)` every single time. (which already takes up 34 characters of the 80 char limit)

Shouldn't there be a middle ground between the two ? "501 programmers" or "I eat breathe and live programming"

People that usually go at home around 5:15 but some times are there longer because they want to finish something they are doing. Or sometimes they go out at 4:58 because they have a non programmimng related date.

People that when are not at their job want to go out with their friends, watch tv, be with their family and not think about programming or see a computer for a full night, even a full week-end, but have spent more than once a full week-end experimenting with that new SDK.

People that love programming but want to take a break every now and then.

People that like to go out at their local bar and have a drink with their (non tech/geek) friends and watch a sport match. Only to meet another tech/geek guy they didn't know and end up talking about how they both hate that programming language all night.

Yes, I'll call this the 515 Manifesto.
In Gimp, however, if you save to a format that does not support layers when your image has layers, you get a warning. Likewise if you save to a lossy format like JPEG you get a warning. Every time.

So by just being a digital nomad that makes money online you get access to a country that spent billions and maybe trillions of dollars building its infrastructure?

My opinion is that you are going to benefit from that, so here is what I think is a fair deal for digital nomads seeking to browse the USA:

Duration: 0.5-2 years. renewable after 5 years.

Cost: $5,000 for the visa + $600/month.

Work: No. But you can do consulting for accredited companies.

For that cost, I get access to a great infrastructure, culture, people, universities... I don't have to pay taxes, I just pay a monthly fee which is the equivalent of what I get.

Once I finish my tour, I just leave the country.

I find this quote totally wrong "Experienced programmers know that in software, there is no material waste like in carpentry."

There is waste of electricity the more time you waste on writing bad code. This wastes electricity and the materials used to generate it. Even though this is really small and you do not notice it anywhere else except in your electricity invoice.

Another material waste is to build hardware and software can not be used without hardware. Building computer parts does create waste when the parts are created this same happens when you saw a wood plank. Even if you use the plank you cut you have wasted the amount of wood your saw cut out. Basically sawdust is in this case the waste, but I am not certain how much building hardware will create dust, I think it's really minimal, but it's still waste of materials.

I wasted quite a bit of electricity by writing this meaningless post.
You can see rivers, mountain ranges, coasts, valleys and walls. But you can't see national borders, although you can sometimes see things that indicate their approximate currently agreed location, especially where the border has stayed fixed for long enough.

But the border can always change tomorrow, or even be in two or more places at once as neighbours do not always agree on such things.

Question: do you think there's a way to have a balance between the '501-ers' and the '24 minus sleepers'?

I only ask because I feel like I do it pretty well:
1) I am newly married and loving that new part of my life
2) I work out regularly with my wife and friends
3) I spend plenty of quality time with other friends

and yet

4) My brain is never really not cranking on whatever I've been fighting to code at work
5) When I have a brilliant/dumb idea and I have time/access to try it I'll log in to give it a whirl.
6) I read about programming/C.S. for fun (because I find it fascinating).

I find that most everything (regardless of what it is) is best in moderation, even things you're passionate about. Basically: why is this so polarizing? I see it as a false dichotomy.
Assange: I’ll be called a traitor, interviewing radicals
Correction: "most non-random tactics" wouldn't make it better, as someone else pointed out. Finding ones that do is a tough question, beyond just runtime; keep in mind that the MC player uses that strategy against itself over entire random games, which can lead to really un-humanlike games. Completely random games at least ensure that you're hitting all possibilities (and when that good move is found, that path is explored more).
Well put! I didn't see this before I posted mine.
This is definitely fodder for the "walled garden" proponents to justify closed and heavily vetted architectures. It feels like the old WWW-Wild west days but this time with bigger brothers smugly looking down with the "tut, tut, tut" expression on their faces.

> More money has got to change hands.

No, quite the opposite. If you really want to be bold about inventing the future, money is one of the things that needs to be replaced.

The internet is, in a general sense, a technology for cooperation -- for organising collective activities through shared information. Money is really just an information channel for doing that too, but it is now comparatively obsolete.
Depends on if you include time to type the command.

If your find command looks like

find . -name '*.pl' -o -name '*.pm' | xargs grep foo

and it takes 1 second to finish, and your ack command is

ack foo --perl

and it takes 1.5 seconds to finish, you can say the grep is faster.

But I just timed the time it takes to type those, and they took me 9.2 vs. 2.3 seconds.

So which is faster: 9.2+1.0 or 2.3+1.5?
That's funny, I had that experience too. At first I tested my implementations against the plain UCT-player, and was puzzled why my "improvements" didn't do as well against GnuGo.

It's an internet meme and it looks like malware authors left it there on purpose for malware researchers' amusement.
If I were to visit a country, stay there for a few weeks or months, and write programs, I would be paying rent to a local landlord (which goes into the landlord's property tax), sales tax whenever I purchase anything, gas tax whenever I drive, and even income tax if I did consulting for a local firm. That's almost exactly the same as what ordinary citizens of my host country pay, and unlike them, I don't even get to vote (taxation without representation?) and I'm OK with that.

Now, why do I need to pay extra just because I hold a passport with a different color? Like everyone else in your country, I'm paying for my use of your infrastructure. Nobody's getting a free ride there.

Really, Google? I find the following far more convenient to read:

result = [(x, y) for x in range(10) for y in range(5) if x * y > 10]

Than the alternative:

result = []
for x in range(10):
for y in range(5):
if x * y > 10:
result.append((x, y))
I did something similar with a resume template [1] where instead of mustache I use angular. The problem with a purely client side solution is that it doesn't sit well with search engines. You would still need to figure out a way send html from your server at least to the search engines if you want to be indexed.

It's not that hard to build a very good USB DAC since most of the work is done via hardware that's already pretty solid. The problem, like the article states, is that most of the parts are difficult to get and are very difficult to build by hand.

Sorry - I want my version control system to be really, really good at being a version control system, not at being a system to train other software developers.

If you're an experienced developer, you should be able to pick up the static source code and figure it out how it was engineered. If you're not as experienced, you will learn through doing (not reading) and perhaps by working side-by-side with a more experienced developer.

Based in the EU means they have to collect VAT for all EU customers. And the VAT amount depends on the volume of sales. If they sell more than a certain amount (€100k) to a specific country they can collect the VAT rate for the buyer country otherwise it is the seller country VAT. And the VAT seems to be 20% in Czech Republic. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_value_added_tax#...)

Yes, in the meantime I found it and have identified the underlying problem.

You land on three different pages for these links:

A) The github logo (top left)

B) My name in the organizations dropdown (when available)

C) My name in the upper right

The solution is simple:

These 3 pages must be combined into one and the organizations-dropdown must be made visible on all pages.

It's pretty obvious in hindsight, I can only assume the github frontenders are suffering from routine-blindness.
I would suppose it's a combination of corporate politics being very different, more goal driven than in government agencies and the simple fact that SpaceX simply has a lot more giants on whose shoulders they can stand. Why they are that much more effective at it remains to be seen. I would guess it's being smart with the shoulders you pick to stand on and a good bit of PR.

The War On RSS
Anyone have an idea about how this would compare with current GPU performance ? My impression is that GPU's are currently way ahead of CPU's in floating point performance (though maybe not for 64 bit ?).

EDIT: To make this question a bit more specific, say I wanted to develop a really fast neural net implementation, which basically reduces to matrix-vector multiplication and function interpolation. Would I be better off looking to do this with a GPU or an FPGA given the current state of both technologies ?

From what little experience I've had with GPU's I think bandwidth to the device might be a limiting factor but I'm guessing this would affect either type of co-processor.
