The Set-Up-To-Fail Syndrome ( https://hbr.org/1998/03/the-set-up-to-fail-syndrome ) is a great resource for how to handle situations where you feel an employee is underperforming.

The article omits SB 50 [1], the effort by Scott Wiener (state senator from SF) to increase housing density and remove regulatory hurdles for housing development near transit. From what I’ve seen it’s the most promising method to increase h

Definitely — our R&D team works on developing new mathematical approaches (for example, how to best leverage TDA for classification problems) and also applying existing approaches to new problem domains. The team also does plenty of pro

I did simple analysis of overall letter frequency and how that would map to a 98 tile set (not counting the blanks) and this is what I got: A: 7 B: 2 C: 4 D: 3 E: 11 F: 1 G: 3 H: 2 I: 8 J: 1 K: 1 L: 5 M: 3 N: 6 O: 6 P: 3 Q: 1 R: 7 S: 9 T: 6

Yes, my distaste for C is probably because I'm not a good enough player, haha. I received an email mentioning the CLARINETS heuristic for choosing tiles to leave in one's rack, and in that context the drop in C's value makes sense, as you s

Interesting, hooking could argue for weighting letters at the beginning or end of 3+-letter words higher than those in the middle.

I was thinking that you could sum up the transition probabilities from the actual transitions available on the board as the main measure. Then you could use frequency by length to weight legal Boggle plays (3/4 letters and up, so 2-letter w

Looks like there was an Xcode 3/4 confusion that crept in. I imagine you were compiling in Xcode 3--I've fixed the issue now and pushed the change to the repository, though you may need to do a clean after pulling. If you're still having is

Thanks for the heads up. I'll patch that issue on the repository.
