I work on Monte Carlo simulations professionally for casino slot games. I wish that more depth was presented here: what percentage of the time do you get favorable vs unfavorable outcomes with each strategy? For further depth, use different

How much is rent, utilities, and books on top of 10k/year tuition? Can students work to pay these other costs of living without sacrificing their studies? I have doubts. Maybe at a public school the debt amounts are some percentage les

I have toyed around with the Wikipedia dump -- in XML, downloaded through the provided torrent file on Wikipedia. It took a bit to get accustomed to the format, but after looking at the files and doing a bit of research on the documentation

I highly recommend Kageyama's Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go. It does a great job explaining, with problems, the foundations necessary to become a decent go player. It is better than any other book I have seen on the subject.

I'm "only" a developer, but clear, concise communication from PMs is the most important thing for me in my current position. Think about yourself as a developer: what do you want from PMs? Personally, I like clear communicati

No questions. This is really cool. I hope to hear about a follow-up!

Do you have evidence that their refusal was due to their views, or is it speculation on your part?

Not sure about OP, but I certainly feel this way. When I want to learn a new language/framework I work on a project using it; instead of watching videos I mostly use the docs and Google/SO when I get stuck or have a code design qu

Gu Li and Ke Jie played each other (in a jubango -- a ten game series -- in 2014: an excellent series of games!). AlphaGo did not play Gu Li unfortunately.

Why are you choosing Cassandra every time? And what's your refutation for his desire to use MySQL over some other database, from his point of view as presented in the article (e.g. availability of support via Google/SO)?

This is a good way to think about things skeptically, but to say it as though it is fact is misleading. Is it that unlikely that a business professional can frame his beliefs and knowledge in this domain in such a way to justify himself to

A top professional reviews some elements of the five-game series, and explains that in the engine's state as of when the games were played there is little chance the engine could take a single game against Lee Sedol in March. Who knows
