Had fun with this for a couple minutes. Would definitely be cool to see what this becomes.

A couple things I noticed:

Underlining and placing the description of the command on the same line as the command made me totally glance over the actual command. I typed "Make box" two or three times before I saw there was an example, and then finally I saw the syntax.

Another nice thing would be if there were some defaults, especially for the initial x/y values.

A question would be, how exactly are joints supposed to work? Sometimes they seem very rigid, other times it almost bends.
Shoppping at Lidl And Aldi is an exercise in picking and choosing. Some stuff is utter rubbish but some stuff is remarkable value for money. The best regular olive oil I've bought has come from Lidl, as has the best instant coffee. Aldi is frequently recommended to me as a place to get good quality venison or pheasant - something that just doesn't turn up in regular British supermarkets.
But that's not what is happening. Government subsidiaries (in this case, USPS) are selling lists of addresses to businesses based on one piece of knowledge: Zip codes. You provide tons of mail (literally) and a list of zip codes and USPS sees to it that the junk mail is delivered accordingly.

That's not a dumb pipe. ARIN/RIPE or Network Solutions aren't handing over lists of email addresses to spam.

How much technical experience did Jobs actually have? Did he actually have a part in designing all the successful products or was he just a manager and marketer?

I don't mean to diss Jobs or imply that he wasn't important, but I don't clearly understand what his role was in Apple's success.

Ignoring the ignorant comments here about Elop "killing" Nokia, I would wonder who would replace Elop in the middle of what could very well be a turnaround for the company? Microsoft is still fairly strong, they certainly don't need a savior in the way Nokia still does. Microsoft could certainly buy Nokia and put Elop at the top of the whole thing, but that's not without its risks.

Would Microsoft sacrifice their only real friend in the mobile world just to grab their executive back? If Elop comes over, either Nokia follows or Microsoft disappears from the mobile market.

Yep. You need a slope to get water to flow. The city is effectively at lake level. Having a storm sewer doesn't do you much good if the water can't go anywhere.
Why is this so complicated?
That's certainly a relevant test, and I'd like to see the method and results.

I can believe it, if only because the quality of the best fresh produce at Aldi tends to be very high, but that of the worst tends to be relatively low.

You definitely have to be a little more careful if you're looking for the best produce.

That said, I would be surprised if Tesco, Asda, or Iceland were included in this test.

Honestly, reading through his stuff is almost depressing. But as long as he sticks to the physics stuff, it's pretty hard to argue - all the math and sources are there.

The planned proposal claims that they can use some nifty beamforming to get good microwave transmission. It appears that the proposed technology will reduce the weight to diameter size of the transmitter, but Do The Math's calculations should still more or less be in the right magnitude.
I don't think I've seen the dot product there. Don't just throw terms around, it's very confusing for beginners :-). While I may have missed your idea about the dot product, I'm quite sure you can't express a dot product as a matrix multiplication; perhaps you were thinking you can express matrix multiplication in terms of dot products, but I don't see how that answer's OP's question.
I was thinking about this, but the form submission could honestly take less than a second by a person since all you have to do is type a comment. (Thinking of someone posting 'lol') to code.

> Was anyone really satisfied with the "9/11 commission"?

Actually, that commission produced a number of recommendations (http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/report/index.htm) which were welcomed by many in Congress and some of which were actually implemented. They included such issues as requiring government security agencies to share data with each other and reorganizing the reporting structure to ensure that would happen.

The analogy fails in this case though, because the 9/11 commission was independent and had members from various backgrounds.
The original author may have meant "cardinal" (primary) rather than "carnal" (of the flesh, generally used as a synonym for "sexual" in modern English).

Kind of OT, but a little sad thing I noticed in the "Jobs" movie trailer (at least the version they are showing in Brazil) is that while the images are clearly showing Woz showing what he did (Apple I) and then he and Jobs working together all the time, the text was saying "It only takes one person... ...to start a revolution".

WTF?! One person? I am not even making any moral judgement here, I am just shocked of how schizophrenic it is. People don't even bother about coherence any more?
And them the movie goes on to show another people joining, two more engineers, a investor. It was just weird...
Our first sprint on this product was following the first principles as outlined by that book.

We found that the strategy works really well on paper but there are significant scaling issues on the querying side when you throw massive amounts of data at it. A simple sales report over cities for one of our larger shops under moderate load would could take 5-10 seconds to generate, which is pretty unacceptable. Caching would only take us so far because of how much data gets ETL'd every moment.

I definitely don't discount the dimensionally modelled strategy, but to make it proper fast, and not 1990's let-me-hit-report-and-go-get-a-coffee fast, you might need to write your own OLAP stack that's optimized for what you need[0]. I'd also do it in go or c.

Once we ship, we'll do a technical post on what worked and what didn't.

He didn't build the canals, but he did make several observations and proposals for improvements which were taken up by other engineers after his death. These attempts were riddled with problems, though, and the work eventually terminated (I inferred unsuccessfully).

"Coding" in that context is not as relevant

The low-level programming needed for the Apple I is very different from "general programming". It made sense for Woz to do the hardware and the software.

In fact I doubt most "coders" of today could do something simple for an Apple I, even given modern resources (like a ASM compiler).
Issacson's biography doesn't indicate that Jobs ever wrote code, but at the very least we can say that he was one of the few non-coders who didn't treat it as a fungible commodity given that he literally threw a crying tantrum to get Woz to co-found Apple.

Also this: http://www.npr.org/2011/10/06/141115121/steve-jobs-computer-...

It's not something that should be relegated to 5 percent of the population over in the corner. It's something that everybody should be exposed to and everyone should have mastery of to some extent, and that's how we viewed computation and these computation devices."

I suppose, HR unit for recruitment belongs to the Taylor's scientific management; where companies were machines and recruitment unit would efficiently find resources to fill the openings. Also, resources were abundant and job openings were scarce, so HR's non-smart screening made some sense.

Now, for the technology world, the valley, or any company where people with unique skills are needed, HR unit struggles to help the company to hire the right people. That's why we hear everywhere rants about HR, recruiters etc. The solution may be to focus on newer tools for hiring or in contrary to focus on pre-modern methods; like leveraging your existing connections, using conferences, hiring competitors etc.

You build infrastructure when you expect to grow, because that's when infrastructure creates the most value. Chicago during the late 19th and early 20th century wast he fastest growing city in the world, and was becoming wealthy from its central location in transcontinental trade.

Today, nearly all traditional American cities are on the tail end of a long decline (save a small handful, like New York, San Francisco, and Seattle), or else are the kind of sprawly suburban cities that don't have the same need for the ambitious public works that the traditional, dense, American cities had.
I took a tour of Seattle, and the guides discussed Seattle going through a similar transition. Essentially the whole city was raised by one story. But the roads were done first, creating a sort of "waffle-like" city, where crossing the street as a pedestrian meant climbing a ladder, crossing the street, and descending the ladder on the other side. People were sometimes injured or killed by falling down the ladder, someone else falling down the ladder, or things falling onto them from street level.

After the sidewalks were raised to match the streets, the underground sidewalks were kept open for a time, until (predictably) problems started with drugs and prostitution, etc. They were closed in the early 20th century but you can tour them today.
Somehow, out of instinct, I feel this guy will ruin Microsoft, which is not necessarily a bad thing. On a "burning platform" he is too interested/risky in changing his behaviour instead of putting off the fire first then bettering things for the long term, MS is blind to say the least.
Absolutely, but in the meantime solar panels have improved enormously also. The third part of the equation is launch costs, which haven't really fallen at all.
The old tool defaulted to BROAD match, meaning you might get something like this:

phone - 1,200,000
home phone - 36,000

you would get really high numbers because people are searching for smart phone, mobile phone, landline phone, phone bill, et cetera and those are all counted under phone. Also, if you SUMMED the two keywords, you were actually double counting because home phone is already included in phone's count.

Google decided that this defaulting to BROAD match was causing confusion and double counting for people who didn't understand match types, so now when you get something like:

phone - 10,000
home phone - 12,000

because a lot less people just type phone or home phone.

What's really impressive to me is that Da Vinci deftly sells the benefits and features of his employ.

Who is playing the victim card here?

I'm male, and I'm saying that I don't think some of the criticisms she's received are warranted. There are definitely some legitimate critical points (the work from home policy, for example), but there also seem to be a lot of criticisms that merely revolve around the fact that she's a woman.

You need to distinguish between "playing the victim card" and "calling out behavior which is odious and unacceptable." I think that it's odious and unacceptable to make such a flap about the fact the Marissa Mayer had a kid, or call her a "princess" for not having a better answer for how she got where she was than "worked hard and got lucky."

So, if you're forbidden from going to the same school, and having as much opportunity to learn, that's a problem with you? Remember, many schools were both racially and gender segregated until the 1970s; we've only had a single generation grow up into adults since that happened. Do you think that a single generation can be enough to remove all bias?
It's very frustrating that they gated this feature. It's probably going to be great for more focused targeting (they can see exactly who wants to add what keywords to their web page). but as the OP states, there is about 1/2 of the features in this new version AND you need to sign up for AdWords.

I agree that complexity doesn't scale linearly. That's a very insightful thing to note. However, the fact that LOC correlates with "probability of a change causing unintended consequences" in many codebases is coincidental rather than causal. The underlying cause of the unintended consequences is almost always poor structure and/or poor planning.

Two words: cohesion and coupling.

Highly cohesive systems which are loosely coupled are far easier to extend and modify without fear of weird and unintended "spooky action at a distance" interactions.

His role was basically convincing woz to:

c) sell the Apple 1 instead of giving it away.

Not trying to minimize anything he did with NeXT, but I would be shocked if he did the coding for it..... he was already wealthy, and was an executive trying to launch a premium product.

It's irritating for losing query volume, but it became harder and harder to generate good ideas in the past few years.

Using tools like UberSuggest (ubersuggest.org) which runs off Google Suggest, or pulling from Google itself (http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&output=tool...) is better.

Since Suggest is for users, and it shows the most popular, you can cream off suggested queries which may be based on query volumes. It's relative, but it'll do for now :)
That's just sad, and something that inspires an all too common megalomania among wanna-be CEOs who think that, if they have the same ego as Steve Jobs, that their vision and passion shall too drive a revolution.

Woz was the critical factor to Apple's early success, and the momentum the Apple ][ bequeathed gave Jobs the significant runway to make real his vision.

And vice versa, being a stellar engineer alone won't necessarily lead you to success...Woz readily admits at he'd still be at HP, making calculators, if it weren't for Jobs (though Woz would be content either way because, well, he's the Woz)
