Is this actually true? I know it's definitely not true if a million people are rolling dice forever -- each die should land on 1-6 with equal frequency. Given a limited number of rolls, though; say, 20 rolls per person; is there actual

There has to be some kind of middle ground here. On one hand, I'm very surprised that Google doesn't pay a license fee to Microsoft for Exchange ActiveSync. I assumed all phone makers with Exchange support had licensing deals with

Maybe you're just trying to read too much into the analogy. I think Netflix is basically saying that the infrastructure is there (the bridge), but despite the fact that usage has increased (rush hour), Verizon is artificially capping s

I thought it was a reference to the Gov. Chris Christie bridge scandal, alluding to Verizon's corrupt nature.

It will probably never end, since putting a stop to app shenanigans is very much a cat-and-mouse game, and I'm very happy that Apple isn't afraid to put devs in check. People who want to view ads for in-app currency are more than

Yep. Script Debugger was almost a requirement for doing any serious AppleScript hackery. You can explore an open application's exposed objects and tell Script Debugger to paste the path to it into your current script. Way better than g

The author's comments resonated with me, and I think some people in this thread are drawing the wrong conclusions about what it means to let go of difficult people. A difficult person, to me, is different from a person who challenges m

In AppleScriptObjC, Objective-C methods are converted from -(void)addNumber:(NSNumber)num withString:(NSString)str; to addNumber_withString(num, str) Swift could be different, though.

Maybe it was a typo. I also noticed that the article says "...the number of possible unique chess positions [is] roughly 1043," which is a typo. 1043 should be 10^43.

I'd say leave the programming languages to modules and compose them together with a data language. Forced simplicity for configuration is a good thing.

I can imagine it being a grueling effort! Part of what has kept me away from using a classifier or any kind of 'neural network'-type solution is that the initial configuration always seems to be something of a shot in the dark, an

Very cool solution! How easy was it to collect data for the classifier? I'm just wondering if the company had huge detailed logs or if you had to train the classifier in real time.

With the advent of computer analysis, the serious chess player needs to have a basic understanding of almost every opening, with that understanding going deeper and deeper as you scale the ranking list. For example, the King's Gambit h

Just to clarify what you alluded to, it's theoretically possible for chess to be solved, and progress is being made slowly, but surely (it took around 7 years for chess to be solved up to 7 pieces). Of course, with each additional piec
