Wouldn't you want your tests to be run against the same DB family (and version) as production anyway?

Plenty of people did exactly that before science became a professionalized endeavor. Sure, being in a community of practice, having experience guidance, etc would help a lot -- but by no means are they necessary conditions to do good resear

Yup, and a lot more! The Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations come up in anything that can be formulated as an optimal control problem. I'm not an expert, but he is: http://www.athenasc.com/dpbook.html

No, the "methodology" of using a very self-selected group to represent the whole is certainly and unambiguously complete methodological bullshit. The problem is known as "confounding variables" or "common latent cau

Are you sure it's not just a bunch of app store updates and an iCloud backup? That's what I'd expect my phone to be doing at 4am anyway.

Maybe these are considered "business partners" and not "anyone"? :P

Watson is probably not for companies whose core competency is software. There's plenty of less glitzy and more functional machine learning tools out there. Have you tried scikit-learn and nltk? Watson seems to me like it's mostly

All of statistics and machine learning involves lots of integrals and derivatives. For example: expected values are integrals, and model fitting is done by hill climbing in the direction of the derivative.

Relevant excerpt: var nullXML:XML = <root>null</root>; if (nullXML == null) { trace("Some XML is null"); } nullXML == null is true! That's... impressive.

You're referring to cost, not value. The price charged here is for the value of the effect, not for the cost of changing the few lines of code.

Heuristically, eating actual fruit (like a normal healthy primate) seems to be fine, but our metabolism isn't as ready for the man-made sweetened foods (e.g. juice, cake, bread, soda, etc).

So it's fine as long as I precompute the full transaction to apply to the key, then do it all at once? I expect large overall transaction volumes but am happy to only issue one DB change per user interaction.

Could you unpack "circular hash attack"? Googling was not very helpful.

Same thing that's explained by https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/48586 ? TLDR: It's easy to find fixed points of hashes like SHA-256.
