Repost of my reddit rant about UX issues in this visualization: This is interesting, but the layout is pretty confusing for somebody who studies poker. Every other hand chart has AA in the top left, like these from Poker Stove: http:/

To put it more bluntly, this resume is really just not very visually pleasing. I definitely wouldn't recommend drawing so much attention to your HTML/CSS skills unless they're really outstanding. And even then, going through

Do we know what's happening with the half of stores that are being sold?

Is that supposed to be good or bad? It describes practically every store in the town where I grew up.

Isn't network usage also finite? I.e. wouldn't there be issues if every device connected to an ISP simultaneously tried to stream large data?

That would be covered by net neutrality, wouldn't it? If all data has to be treated equally, that type of abuse wouldn't be possible regardless of whether you're paying by bandwidth or by usage.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm honestly curious: why is pay-for-use bad for internet access but okay for water, electricity, and phone?

> I don't see a bot being close to be able to conquer heads-up no-limit, let alone a full table of no-limit. PokerSnowie plays NLHE, but only uses 3 bet sizes (half, full, and double pot) to make the number of decisions manageable.

Indeed, "limit" by itself is shorthand for fixed limit. There are other limit games (such as pot limit and spread limit) where you do have a choice in your bet size.

This probably goes without saying, but they're definitely not allowed.

Indeed. It's pretty easy to win against somebody who only bets with strong hands.

There's a great interview with Jim Greer on the Thinking Poker podcast. It's mainly about CounterPAC without much poker talk. http://www.thinkingpoker.net/2014/11/episode-101-jim-greer/

Does anybody know why Google and Amazon both have fewer years of experience for women in the senior roles? Or maybe it's just an artifact of the small amount of data for women engineers (13 and 14 reports at Amazon and Google respectiv

Looks like you're right. My experience in a graduate program doesn't extrapolate to undergrad. Just looked this up: international undergrad tuition at UBC is about $24k and international graduate tuition is about $7.5k. Edit: to f

Canada could be a good option for many people. International tuition fees can be competitive with in-state tuition at public US universities. There are also funded masters degrees in some disciplines, which is extremely rare in the US.

It's very impressive that the dude in the video learned how to play that well on Aerodrums, but as he explains at the very beginning, it's a completely different technique than you use with real drums.

You have to consider that there were six years between XP and Vista (aka Longhorn), compared to an OS X release every year since 2011. Windows has picked up quite a bit of speed as well, though they're not quite at yearly releases yet.
