- Maybe allow customers to choose more than 1 of the same touchable type.

- Can these be mix/matched across multiple devices ? Can touchables pair with multiple clients ? Can you change the pairing ? More info would be useful

For me it was somewhat (but not exactly) the opposite: I encountered 0h n0 first, and was quickly able to finish each level without the computer hints, while I currently still need the hints sometimes for 0h h1.

It seems 0h h1 has a slightly harder learning curve before the pattern recognition kicks in, while 0h n0 doesn't rely as much on pattern recognition, but is easier to learn.

I got 50% while I am no javascript programmer. This is better than the average over more than 4000 people who passed the test. In my opinion, this only shows how bada language javascript is. Ok PHP is worse, but everybody concerned should feel very ashamed.

Yes. You don't seem to need any backtracking to play these games correctly. This is also why the computer seems to always be able to give clear hints. (Can it really always?)

One question is whether this holds for any possible board (starting position), or if they need to be constructed in a certain way for this to be true.

I think a game like 2048 will remain interesting longer, because you need to look further ahead and take the random factor into account.
EBM can only be the first step. The goal has to be a thourough understanding of the domain so that testing a specific case is no longer necessary. This is something that many proponents of EBM do not seem to understand.

for equal access to that knowledge

That's according to a narrow view of "equal access."

Many people (if not a majority) have an entirely different definition "equal access." On this view, simply putting text or a video up on the Internet without captions is providing equal access: everyone is equally free to download and make use of that information, to the best of their ability.

If I am free to publish a video on my own accord without captions, shouldn't I be free to do the same with a video I've made with a group of my friends? And if this is the case, why not a group of my colleagues? Present law aside, I don't see why should I lose my right to do something just because I'm doing it as part of a group.

I really enjoyed your argument. But why did you weaken it by reintroducing systematic cause:

>> if everyone in your family lives a really long time, there's a good chance you'll live a really long time too

This implies assumption of some sort of cause, which one would then expect to hold in other parts outside that cluster, too. Which I understood as: the island's longevity could be random -- but not really.
Ask HN: Please help me find that documentation website with good usability
Hi,
Sometime back I came across a post on HN about a clean online documentation for a library or api. The page was divided into two columns, the left had the documentation of the api and the right had example usage. I am unable to locate it again. If someone remembers, can you please post the link or atleast the library name?

Thank you very much.
Just curious, did you specify order ?

dict[`he.*`] == [4,2] could also hold. Or maybe [...] was a set literal and not ordered list.

Interesting ideas, perlish in spirit, somehow less cryptic.

Was it published ? was there other ideas you could talk about ?
The message I commented to was about the idea that suddenly "people" would be forced to caption videos that they had made in their spare time.

Comparative advantage theory (like most of economy) is a misleading simplification.

Historicaly the countries that were on the "low profit" end of international trade and followed the comparative advantage theory advice - lost (see Argentina), and the countries that contrary to the theory tried to move to more complex products/services and bigger profits - won (see Germany, USA), even if they had to abandon their comparative advantages, suffer international trade restrictions, etc to get there.

It turns out industrialization not only makes you better at producing machines - it also makes you better at producing food, and almost everything else. Meanwhile producing food just produces food.

Please cite a single court case in which a engineers reading of source code has been used as proof of intentional infringement of a patent or copyright.

I hope you do not read newspapers, HN or other places which publish information about new technology.

Think of the risk that you inflict your company, as a single miss clicked link can cause ruin in a future patent case. Better to cut down on any contact with the outside world.

Maybe I'm missing something, how many people felt that syntax made an idea pop differently and was part of the understanding ? To me it's often the opposite, it conflates too many things in a few symbols and then you waste time discussing corner cases.

I'm currently working on a ruby gem to generate examples of given regular expression. For example:

/this|is|awesome/.examples # => ["this", "is", "awesome"]

So, I tried it out on this "prime number validator" regex:

/1?|(11+?)\1+/.examples
#=> ["", "1", "1111", "111111", "11111111"]
/1?|(11+?)\1+/.examples(max_repeater_variance: 50, max_group_results: 100).uniq.sort.map(&:length).first(10)
#=> [0, 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15]

require 'prime'
Array(1..100) - /1?|(11+?)\1+/.examples(max_repeater_variance: 50, max_group_results: 3000).uniq.sort.map(&:length) == Prime.first(25)
#=> true

It has been posted before [2], so I'll repost my comment from back then [3]:

It's cool, but it's regexp, not regular expression -- regular expressions cannot test for primeness. The proof is a simple application of pumping lemma[1]: we want to show that language { a^p: p prime } is not regular. Suppose it is. By pumping lemma we have numbers N, n >= 1, such that for every k >= 0, we have a^(N+nk) in our language. But that means that for every k, N+nk is prime, and it fails for k = N, since N+nN = N(1+n) is not a prime, since both N and 1+n are greater than 1.

I've been going through this recently quite a bit. Reporting stuff is a waste of time, except for entertainment purposes.

I've reported all sorts of things. In nearly every single case, they say they cannot do anything. Even when there's a fake DropBox app "by" "@Microsoft". In that case, the CSR told me to try re-installing the app, that it worked for him. Zero understanding of the issue.

I've found a fake Windows Update on the Store. Reporting it got a generic response, until I emailed the MS security folks. Then it was removed in a few minutes. Meanwhile, they suggest I "Leave a review" or email the developer. Idiotic.

Netflix went back and forth with MS at least 3 times. Amazon had issues as well. Other ISVs tell me they can simply not get MS to be responsive about things.

Disney was the funniest response. Despite being a major Store publisher, there's all sorts of fake Disney stuff online. When I spoke to the Disney Store about it, the final suggestion was "don't go on it [the Windows Store]". Neato.

It's obvious MS is just padding the app numbers and no review is actually happening. It's a shame, since it undermines all the work; the Windows Store is a joke even with casual users. (Like even meeting random people on a plane and asking.) I emailed Satya. I emailed the GM of the Store. I emailed the Dev evangelist pushing the "let's pay people in third world countries 4 months salary for publishing 20 shitty wrap-a-webpage apps" program. No replies.

Here's a gallery of some gems: http://imgur.com/a/xvqZg#0

But nothing beats this awesomeness: http://imgur.com/fLOWMI4

I really hope they enable an Android compat layer. Even if it's slow, A: tons of random utility apps will be available, B: MS can enforce some quality instead of quantity.

I find it hard to believe MS isn't aware of these issues, unless no one actually uses it (Win10 makes it more in-your-face, though). Someone must have a bonus that's tied to "published app count". Neither Apple nor Google have these issues. The Store is worse than the Android Marketplace was.

So this is pretty much the control flow equivalent of someone complaining about memory errors in languages like C (dangling pointers/memory leaks), and then much later some academics look through some code written in a managed GC'ed language like Java or C# and decide that the original complainer really didn't have anything to worry about.

Google makes the majority of its profits from web search. The problem is that as search habits change, that entire market could become less valuable. Google could still dominate, but would just make less $, e.g. if search RPMs decline from $70 to $50 in the US, they are in real trouble.

There's a lot of downward pressure on display ads also. The move to programmatic platforms will cut CPMs in half or worse. Google is not immune from this Trend either.

FBI's “Suicide Letter” to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
I think it is unfair to give Shannon too much credit, Boltzmann and Gibbs came up with the exact definition Shannon gave

S = -k \Sigma p_i ln(p_i),

including a suitable information theoretic interpretation. As physicists they only thought about ignorance of the exact particles position and momentum in systems of 10^24 particles, but the essential idea is the same. Moreover von Neumann had generalized that notion to quantum mechanics

S = - tr(\rho ln(\rho)),

which gives it a form that is even more abstract than the information theoretic formulation.

It was only ignorance on Shannons part that he was not familiar with the work of physicists and mathematicians before him on the subject.
Thanks for letting me know. I though this was in the standard. I will fix the post.
You can do it with ggplot2 using the 'extrafont' library and installing the CM fonts (after loading extrafont, do 'font_install("fontcm")'). Then it's just adding

+ theme(text=element_text(family="CM Roman"))

to your plot.

For me that doesn't work when displaying the graphs in a window, but it does work when exporting to PDF with ggsave. Afterwards you have to embed the CM font into the PDF with 'embed_fonts'.
Revolver: An Automated Approach to the Detection of Evasive Web-Based Malware [pdf]
Before HFT, there was only a few market makers, which meant the bid-ask was high (if you wanted to buy or sell right now, you'd pay more), liquidity was low (it'd be harder for you to get in or out of a large position and in hard times it would take longer for the market to recover - See 80s crash vs flash crash).

With HFT, there's a lot more competition over the bid ask spread. Trading firms are essentially in an increasingly expensive fight over pennies, which is good for everybody else, since it's cheaper prices, more liquidity, and a more efficient market.

The people it's bad for is the old-school style brokers (which are effectively gone now) and large investmant banks who have a fundamental view on the market (they need to be smarter about executing since the market is more efficient and reacts much more quickly to their buying and selling).

Just to clarify the position you're arguing for. A university has a bunch of existing videos that have been taken of lectures. Someone asks "can I put these online for free?". The answer should be no you can't unless you're willing to have them all transcribed.

I suppose it rests on the definition of reasonable accommodation which could range anywhere from "making the material available for transcription" to "full professional subtitles should be made available".

Error Handling Without Throwing Your Hands Up
Distributed generation using solar or wind without distributed storage actually needs more transmission infrastructure than centralized generation.

That's because of unpredictability of these power sources.

With centralized generation you can do hierarchical network, with smaller capacity further "downstream".

With distributed you need P2P network, and when some part of country has no sun and no wind - you need to be able to get that energy from other sources.

Distributed storage changes the game, but it depends on the costs.

I think a big part of the problem is that integration is hard, and that the companies more or less resist it (I guess because they think keeping people in their garden is a good strategy).

It's also easy to oversell (to yourself) the value of a room having a movie mode. Most smart home features are 'nice to have', not worth a lot of messing around and cash.
One definite data point I can illustrate, through personal experience.

There is a treatment for trauma (PTSD etc.) called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which has over 20 years of statistical evidence backing up it's efficacy. To date, no-one really knows how it works (there are a few good theories, and hopefully modern neuroscience can help here).

Currently, it's "EBM". There is a huge amount of evidence to show it works, but no proven theory as to why.

It's not "SBM" yet, as there still isn't a demonstrable mechanism or theory that describes why it works.

homeopathy, antivaxers and scientoligists don't even have any evidence to show they work. They don't even count as "EBM".

A New Reality for HR and Managers
Unfortunately, there are a couple types of HFT. At it's core, it just means trading using a computer to execute more/faster trades. That seems justifiable in making the markets more efficient. Where most people including myself have issues is when they get a pass in certain markets to frontrun normal sellers and eat some of their margins simply because their latency was low enough. An earlier HN post that I can't find had a discussion on how this type of behavior can be countered by sending fake buy offers without intent to actually buy, but for whatever reason, that is illegal.
Two positive trials, but if there are additional negative trials those can be ignored. There is no requirement to combine all available trials in a meta-analysis. Very easy for the pharm company to come up with some excuse to throw away "bad" data.

I agree, in fact to go even further the upper limit would also have to be specified. For example 3886 of the 1000000 companies founded in the past 1500 years in Japan have survived giving a 0.3886% survival rate. Since we have no idea how many companies were founded, the survival rate is completely unknown. It would be better to compare a country with a similar age such as China if they want to make an interesting comparison.
