You can call me a "male" if you like. I do not find it offensive at all, even if intentionally used in that way. I am an animal after all. It's only double standards that I would have a problem with.
The worst part about that match is, Anand spent 50+ minute on one move, to loose all the time advantage he had pushed carlsen into.

First I thought, it was to make Carlsen loose his nerve, but he lost his own nerve, by moving Qe4, instead of slow push hh4. That was the turning point :( He went from winning position to a clear loss.

Also, I don't get the point of resigning, on this level, it should be a fight till the end, no matter how shameful.

Microsoft customers hit with new wave of fraudster tech support calls
Some projects are like that, because the synergy from a core functionality works well with added features. Its like how a window manager has menus and keyboard shortcuts even if its main purpose is to draw windows, or session managers are normally full working desktops.

Emacs do exactly one thing well (editing text), and a bunch of other things sort of OK. The sort of OK stuff is there because their core, they are about editing text. Like with an IDE, if the editing is crap, the ide is crap. As such, all IDE's require a good text editor to start with before they can do anything well.
There is such an API! https://wit.ai
Anand seems to have some frustrations. In an interview he lamented that he reached GM at the age of 18, while the youngest have been able to do that at 12 or 13 (Magnus at 13). He's not content with being the world champion, he wants to be the youngest, most talented, etc too. Can't have everything.

Since internet commentary is always interpreted with a negative tone, I'll edit to add: Anand is a fascinating personality and very sympathetic. I hoped he'd score 1 point today :-)
This is fantastic satire. Especially, since I've just read The Circle. Judging by the other comments here, a lot of us were going along believing it was true. Until robot.

And, why not? The pieces were believable: OpenCV, NLTK, some scripting and API twiddling. The virtual assistant wasn't much of a stretch either.

Especially if you're familiar with modern online dating sites now. Still thinking that online dating is like browsing an organized list of potential dates where an online host helps you with searching is naive. Craigslist personals are still like that, stripped down, no profile, anonymous and no algorithms.

OKCupid, like other dating sites, makes money via ad revenue, not by connecting you with a partner, so what's their priority? Who knows if your experience is affected by:
- how often you visit the site
- if you use an adblocker (they know, and they let you know they know)
- if you're on a free account
- message response rate
- if you use their features (quickmatch, etc.)
- how many questions you've answered (at a tech talk recently, Sam Yagan co-founder said answering more than 10 questions was pointless)
- your quantcast/cookie/tracker profile
- sentiment analysis of your profile/messages

Here's a fun anecdote: As a new user of their iPhone app, I was interested in using the Locals feature (to see who was available on short notice for a date). The first day it worked, let me see those in my vicinity. The next day it was completely removed from the app. No warning. Something (I was a new user) must've decided that that feature wasn't for me.

This goes beyond dark design patterns which attempt to influence your behavior (i.e. on another dating site, you have to pay to send messages, and attractive people send you collect messages, that you have to pay to read.). With dark design, if you're aware, you know what the site wants you to do. If your online dating success is controlled by black box methods without feedback, they silently judge.

So, how soon before hackers decide they're tired of being gamed and start using tools they're familiar with defensively? Could this be the start of a new arms race?

I came to a very similar conclusion while writing http://www.nGage.tv. I cannot compete with the "big boys" by myself but by empowering developers with a community and an API designed to support the website "theme" (in my case coupling streaming content with social engagements) you have a platform that has a chance of competing.

I was specifically responding to the claim that there was no comparison of their "dominance": that is, how good they are/were relative to their competition.
I agree that Carlsen isn't quite at Kasparov's level of dominance yet (he's only 22), but the James Harden analogy is a poor one. Harden is a great player (say someone like Aronian in the chess world) but isn't quite a once in a generation talent like, say, Lebron James.

I think it's quite fair to call Carlsen the Lebron James of chess.

You are right, I should have been more precise.

What I meant to say is that prostitution is one way to satisfy the unfulfilled sex drive a man has. I was not talking about feelings, but about a - so to say - intrinsic biological potential to find a mate and copulate.
A man will consider the offer of a prostitute on a simple sexual basis if he is attracted to her. It is a biological drive that each individual seeks to have satisfied. If this drive is not satisfied, the stimulus for attraction can be lower.

Of course, there is also a strong emotional factor involved, ethical components, fears (e.g. STDs, being caught etc). But I was not referring to that.

Please note that I was not trying to picture men as animals - on the contrary, I was just trying to show that male sexual behaviour has strong biological components. As does the sexual behaviour of women.

I would like to know what factors are the most important in the rejection of a prostitute's offer, as I think that prostitution it is part of a deep sociological process. It would not surprise me if the hygienic component would be the strongest one.

Chess players typically peak in their 30s, and it's very difficult (though of course not impossible) for players to stay world-class through their 40s. This is one reason everyone has been so impressed with the play of Boris Gelfand (45) this year.

In general, it is important to do independent and individual research before voicing an opposition.

However, it does depend on context. If this unnamed bill just happens to be SOPA, I am actually happy that we do not put such restrain on opposing voices. At some point, group action is more important than a handful individuals that has the time and energy to research the question independently.
>Overall, King.com spends over $350k (Source: King.com) a day on mobile ads and it can be assumed that the other 4 developers have ad budgets within this range.

I have said this other places, but I will repeat it here. Kudos to them for finding (or creating) a successful niche with high demand. I find it sad though that sooo much money is going to marketing games that don't push technology further, or really fundamentally help things get better.

You could argue that if you add up all the marginal increases in utility/happiness that are gained from playing any of the saga games that it might be a net gain, but I think that is a stretch. I find it tragic that this is how the market allocates resources (time and capital).

Mastering Remote Presentations
the fact that one sees "CHAR" in the schema definition is self-documenting that this is a fixed length field (and CHAR is "fixed length", the size of the string you get back will always be N), that's what I mean by "semantics". E.g., "what does it mean that the developer used CHAR here and not a VARCHAR?"

The CHECK constraint you illustrated earlier can just as well be placed on a CHAR (using trim() as well to adjust for padding). Then there's no chance of any blank padding issues either.
Weird and wacky? Sure. But if I were a lady I wouldn't want to be seen out on a date with a telepresence bot. (In fact, it's not even telepresence - it's surrogacy!) Perhaps if distance were an issue I would accept a Skype date at a restaurant (with a live date on the other end). Bringing my relatively inconspicuous iPad and conversing with another human is within the realm of socially normal behaviour.

That doesn't mean the women hired by these companies were "in tech" by any means. They could have been in sales, in public relations, in customer service. They probably were.

The only reason to assume this is if you've already decided that women are less likely to be in tech jobs than men. You're using that assumption to prove your conclusion which is... that women are less likely to be in tech jobs than men. Completely circular, and depressing since it's caused by and perpetuates the stereotype!

Allegedly Carlsen has said that he "didn't know anything about chess when I became world #1", reflecting over the amount he had learned since then. I don't understand what that can be, but I'm no chess player..
I'll agree that the analogy is poor. But I think Carlsen is not the Lebron of chess. Not yet at least. Not with his end game.
I find this article: "How to Eat Like a Chimpanzee" to be a bit more compelling:

As others have pointed out, you don't have to put length constraints in multiple places if you have DB access go thru a suitable layer or module, and this is generally (AFAIK) good architecture.

Surprised someone hasn't pointed out, too, that catching this in code is faster/cheaper than a database hit and erroring back to the front end. (It's less of a difference with AJAX but significant in traditional server-side applications, of which there are more than you might think.)

There is a BIG difference between Lua Fun and Underscore.
Lua Fun is based on iterators. High-order functions such as map, filter, etc. don't create temporary tables and don't allocate extra memory.
Since all operations are performed on the fly during iteration, most expressions use constant amount of memory to evaluate.

Content shouldn't just be defecated into pretty grids, with a responsive label slapped on it and boardroom demo.
It's astonishing how much "responsive design" gets thrown around as a buzzword...however, unlike a lot of buzzwords, "responsive design" actually means something and implementing it has implications systemwide...Across legacy sites, I've almost never seen it implemented in a way that didn't hide critical information, often because the designers and the people in charge of the legacy CMS probably don't coordinate enough. Things like, "Make everything that isn't in a p or image tag go to the bottom of the page" can hugely affect the context of certain elements.

For example, I worked on a site that hand hand-coded captions for photos and so those captions ended up having tags that were displayed:none when the device had a low-enough width. That's not great for photos that require the context of the captions.

No, this is like a literary critic finding a baseball score, let's say 3-0, mentioned casually in dialog in a Hemmingway short story that does not have a date or mention of teams, and, then talking about what the team must have been (okay, let's say we can guess). And the season. Let's say they can guess. Okay, and then talking about the lineup, tactics, what the innings must have looked like, and whetehr there was any bad luck or refereeing or questionable ump calls involved. You know, based on the fact that score was 3-0, and, you know, it seemed important enough for the character to mention. Maybe due to some bad ump calls. Probably. I mean, it's pure rank speculation but why else would the character mention it??

You see the difference? The only true answer is because, f--, hemmingway liked baseball and he needed some dialogue. there's no play by play action behind it, absolutely nothing for us to guess about because it just didn't happen. :)
it may mean he went from being a more calculating type of player(tactical), which you can win many games with, to being a more positional type of player (strategical) which takes a much greater understanding of the game.
Not a "high" but a better, and that's usually enough; and the gap seems to be increasing[0].

This is compressing the video using either H.264 or WebM (it's a bit unclear; they include both x264 and WebM logos in their "open source software used"); it's similar to Apple's AirPlay mirroring or Google's Chromecast. Unlike those, however, it's not tied into a single company's ecosystem.
I don't see anything wrong with resigning. First off, it acknowledges your weak position, which saves you some face for at least knowing. Second, it is a strong compliment on your opponent's skill, because only poor play from your opponent would put you into a draw/win situation. This in turn is classy, because it's saying "I want to win on my own merits, not on a mistake of my opponent."

So honestly I think it makes everyone look good.
At some point this construction has the opposite effect of your stated goal. Programming languages have their own syntax, grammer, and idioms. Working with those isn't so much about saving time, but about making clear statements. I'm not certain how calling your variable index is better than calling it i - the entire fact that it implied in the construct.

I'm not disagreeing that having decent names is a good idea, just that idioms and convention convey a ton of meaning. For instance if any of my team ever did:

def func(self, a, b, c): ...

There would be a problem. (most of the time anyway...)

By analogy: do you always refer to people strictly by full name (that is never calling Robert Smith by Bob, rob, Robert, etc)? Do you always refer to your vehicle as "my $Year $Make $Model" rather than "my car"? Why not? Because it is strictly clearer and easier to do so, with less ambiguity and chance for confusion. I'm guessing not, because the language you speak in has idioms and constructs that allow shortening this, and understanding is not lost.

Basically my point is that assuming the reader of your code is a complete neophyte, with no understanding of common idioms is largely ridiculous, and potentially harmful to the actual neophyte+(small amount of experince) folks because they wonder why the common pattern is not being followed... asking "why is this different? it must be special, not just a for loop..."

The commentator then asks Anand something along the lines of "did you think through all of these complications?" and his response was a curt "no, I was thinking of what to eat tonight."

"Yeah… so, do we have questions to the players?"

oof... such high stakes and he just missed the move. Really gotta feel for him.

The Effect of Human Faces in Web Design
As I said in my previous post: I think DRM is crappy and stupid, but that's how things currently are. And since there are devices that support HDCP over the air (apple tv, HP Wireless Connect, DLNA) the "ease of use" factor is given. I doubt consumers will be all-pleased if they buy an Airtame and netflix doesn't work.

(BTW: I don't think that Streaming Services just implement DRM because they think it's fun and I don't expect right holders will be enlightened any time soon)
