Linux? BSD would have filled that void, if Linus hadn't written it.

GCC? The portable C compiler already was years old, and would have gotten more attention if it hadn't taken over.

Web Browser? That's big enough an improvement over gopher to be something genuinely new. The world would look different without it.

I would consider adding email, Word processing, VisiCalc and the first 'real' search engine, whatever that was.

I would consider the GPL idea, too, but that's not software, but wetware.

It's part of almost every insurer's terms and conditions.

They use your driving history to set your premiums. Thus they want to know every accident you've been in because that affects how much they charge you - it affects how risky you are.

If you know you've had an accident, and they ask you to report all accidents, and you do not report an accident with the intent to keep your premiums down you've possibly committed fraud.

Things seem to have shifted on my end as of late. People are very skeptical when if I'm interviewing for a job, more than in the past (I tried recently a few times when work dried up bombed on the interview processes a few times... i have comments about it in my history).

I need to get my resume cleaned up and put together a new portfolio site.

I'm starting to become disinterested in full time gainful enslavement. Three reasons I keep contracting:

1. freedom (i make my own hours and jump between contracts every 3 months or so, taking a short break between... usually around a week). When I do work, I only take on fully remote contracts.

2. my "interviews" consist of asking how much I charge, asking what my availability is, asking a few simple tech questions, and then having me sign a contract. That's because I get my work through recommendations from other people so I no longer have a need to prove myself on this front.

3. i make more money than when i was employed.

no-reply emails are typical of companies like Paypal. It is a terrible customer service experience. But the worst UX is when you have to complete a web form to make an enquiry but don't get a email receipt of your enquiry. So there is no proof you submitted an enquiry and unless you copied the text to another file you have no copy of exactly what you submitted. If you are lucky enough to hear a response it's from a non-reply email address. I experienced this exact scenario recently. I thought it was blatantly cynical.
Thanks for this. I wouldn't mind the banner so much if it wasn't abused so often. Screaming "breaking news" at readers all day for stories like "Andy Murray gets married" is absurd and it devalues bona fide breaking news.

Well, because of that appropriate variable scaling is important. (Typically log or sqrt, but if one wishes - one my use continuous percentile scale.)

Isn't there a big difference in health/success between a fat arm and an arm with muscles on it?
It is easy to arrive at wrong conclusions. But it is No.1 argument against discrete scales, not for it. It can happen by accident, but it is possible also to intentionally deceive - e.g. by setting such bins that Greece and Spain have the same color but Italy do not. Or that Spain and Italy have the same (but Greece different), etc.
I don't understand how that works, since each user has a different number of friends. Does the number of parts for each buildable vary from person to person? Or did they just make the number of parts be slightly higher than what the average user would have available?

> They're high because ESPN has fixed price contracts into the future for the rights to broadcast sports events. If their subscriber base falls, they're still on the hook for those contracts.

If ESPN continues to lose viewers, their ad revenue will suffer. If ESPN revenue suffers, will they be able to pay the fixed price contracts they have with the largest, most viewed sports leagues, such as the NFL, MLB, and SEC (college football)?

Seems to me that this is the first domino to fall...

Language is what it is, and the "specification" was invented long before anyone needed precise algorithmic rules. IMHO, the real WTF is that Unicode decided to reuse the ASCII codepoints for "i" and "I" to encode the Turkish alphabet.

If you think about it, it doesn't make sense to use "LATIN SMALL LETTER I" as the lowercase form of "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE". Four new codepoints for Turkish ı/I and i/İ would have solved so many problems.

I've never played a Zynga game so I'm just guessing. I think this is about

(probability of getting an item) = (probability of getting the item for free in a drop) * (1 + (probability of a user gifting an item to a friend) * (average number of friends)).

So for the late items, they pushed down (probability of getting the item for free in a drop), so you were unlikely to get it in a drop or as a gift from a friend.

Even then, if you're above 125% the poverty line, you can be forced to pay for your court appointed attorney. You can claim financial hardship, but the court isn't obliged to accept your claims.
There is. There isn't a lot of point measuring arms as an indicator of body fat.

Completely agree. My language (spanish) has also accents (tildes) and tildes (virgulilla) and two dots (diéreses). But when texting, people don't always write them, so when an ambiguity arises you notice. They were also clearly having a fight through the phone, so even more reason for not having a completely correct text composed.

More to the point, they ended up dead because they were already quite upset and were sufficiently violent people to reach that point, so also not localization's fault!

I think you forgot the \s.

In any case, yes, absolutely less productive. The time you need to communicate with other people in your team probably already amounts to at least 3 hours in your week.

Not counting the time you need to build back your mental context of the task you are working on. Why you were stuck last time ...etc.

I understand the feeling that people have that there should be a more relaxed schedule and restrictions on the location you are working from but in the end I'm unconvinced that it improves productivity. No saying that you should work 80 hour weeks and be be stressed out of your mind but the reverse is not true either.

When I was in LA I went to rent a car with FlightCar, and needed a ride to their parking lot from LAX. When I got into a taxi and told the driver where I wanted to go and for what purpose, he got so mad saying that I should've waited for the rental place bus and I explained to him that this one didn't have one. I had to pay $20 because he said so. Thankfully FlightCar reimbursed me for the value, but god damn I was pissed.
Sports are the most popular thing on TV but the reach is about 40% and probably headed down. Video games scratch a similar itch and a gen xer or anybody younger with a serious gaming habit is watching less sports, if any. They are making it harder and harder to watch the games which I think means fewer people will start a sports habit.
"Tired of making legends for your data visualizations?"

No. It never takes more than about two minutes to whip up something basic like this.

Integrating your legend tightly with your visualization has lots of benefits, mostly in terms of enabling interaction.
To follow the analogy. This is why changes usually undergo serious code review prior to being pushed to production. This bill underwent none of that - in fact it reimplemented with bug compatibility a broken module that had been removed from production previously.
I started, but never finished grinding an 8" mirror. I began making a low-focal ratio mirror for deep sky observing (which means grinding it to one curve) then decided I wanted a high-magnification planetary scope instead (and reground to a different curve) then kids came along and my hobbies stopped.

Along the way, I built my own tools, like the necessary Foucault tester and a mirror grinding machine. My machine was basically a variable speed drill driving some eccentric gears that pushed the blank around. I have no idea whose plans I followed but there are lots out there. I planned to use it for the polishing stage but ended up giving the machine to a friend who tells me he used it successfully to polish a mirror.

Everyday interactions present opportunities for further exploration. I get my projects from problems I encounter during my normal interactions with people. Then I try hack something together for fun. My most recent project is hacking a thermostat with a Raspberry Pi 2 and mobile app to notify small shop owners when their freezer temperature has risen above a certain temperature. This project came about from a interaction with my local grocer. I grabbed some Ben&Jerrys out of the fridge a few weeks ago and the shop attendant apologised. He couldn't sell the ice-cream because the freezer power was cut the night before when a cleaner accidentally tripped the power cord. The ice-cream had melted and was a write off. The shop owner had to leave the stock in the freezer until the insurance delegate arrived to confirm the write off. The shop owner gave me the idea of an app that would notify him if it ever happened again. He wanted to do it himself but didn't have the technical ability. I didn't either but that was an opportunity to learn on a real life problem. It doesn't matter that there are commercial alternatives available. It's something fun to program and I have a willing participant to trail it on. Keep your eye's and ears open. Real life problems are often more rewarding to solve than projects on hobby sites.
If the typical person has 5 friends actively playing, and there are 5 different parts, the chances that a person can get one piece from each friend is 3%? There were also limits on the amount of times that players can help friends daily; it encourages a tit-for-tat dynamic of helping only those who help you. But without built-in tools to track this (mark fav friends, etc), there was always some tension about who "deserves" your help, and players would not spend all their help options right away so they could save some to give back to helpers later in the day, etc... All of these simple mechanics (or lack thereof) interact to create additional scarcity in a very natural, subtle and organic way. And all of it guided, adjusted and optimized via metrics and A/B tests.

I love that this code is so elegant, but (and!) chooses strings and string manipulation for storage of the possible cell values.

It seems like he started with lists and switched when he got to the search method ("This is why I chose to implement the set of possible values for a square as a string: I can copy values with values.copy() which is simple and efficient.") - It's probably not an amazing insight, but I'm sure my brain would have been yelling at me "don't use strings! don't use strings!".
This is great. As for the criticism that a lot of the content is old, most of the core concepts can be explained better with older tech as it's simpler. This allows you to focus on what is happening and leave the extra details about what technology a part or process has for a case by case basis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYAw79386WI is a great example of this.

There's a middle ground here where the car sees it's about to be rear-ended and softens the hold on the brakes just enough to convert some of the impact energy to forward motion.

It knows the distance to the car in front and has a good idea of the rear car's speed. The only real variable is the weight of the approaching car but a pessimistic estimate could leave more margin to avoid touching the car in front.
In principle I would agree, but the Atatürk alphabet was made up at the spot based on the existing Latin alphabets.

You have to take FarmVille and CityVille's so called "success" with a grain of salt. Social games companies don't measure success by revenue, they measure it by daily active users (DAU). What you don't see is how much money they spend on advertising to attract users to the game. I know at one point, they were spending much more per user than the game was bringing in. You also don't see the churn rate, which is typically high in social games.

There's a real possibility Zynga was never as successful as it appeared to be, from a cash perspective.
You're right that it may not be morally equivalent, but that's not really relevant to the legal analysis. Possessing and distributing child porn is a crime, regardless of whether you believe it directly causes harm. So the grandparent's question remains: Does the FBI operate under different laws?
I am a bit concerned with the direction of in-game purchases. Games are being designed to push users to spend money. Whats the difference between this and gambling in casinos? Are users aware that algorithms are being gamed to maximize profits? Is this ethical? I think we really need some oversight here. I think an entire generation is being exposed to gambling and exploitation -- and I am not sure if its healthy.
