Did they really just try to define "amount pledged" as different from "amount the end user actually pays" so they can say "well now you always get 95% of amount pledged" but, of course, not 95% of what the user

Unless Jekyll has changed a lot, using themes is a major pain. Since Jekyll doesn't enforce any particular structure, there's no way to have drop-in themes. Using a new theme is really about cloning a theme and then re-writing y

You could try TDD katas (see http://osherove.com/tdd-kata-1/ for a starting point). For me, the value in this practice is becoming hyper-proficient with your chosen development environment, not neccesarily learning TD

I was wondering if I was the only one who thought the book was terrible. Once I made it past the first third (it was tough, but I didn't pay for the book so I just read it on my phone when I was bored) I was able to enjoy it for what

I guess what I was trying to say, in general, was that since SC2 required less micromanagement of your macro (auto-harvesting, etc), players had more free time to spend on unit tactics. In GSL season 2, MarineKing showed that stimmed marine

Yes, very nitpicky. MarineKingPrime didn't invent marine micro but he was known for it/popularized in the early GSL seasons before it became a standard tactic. SlayerS (the team) dominated MLG Anaheim with blue flame hellions an

The API Blizzard is exposing is really nice. Sadly most of the advantages AI had in SC1 were just due to the fact that an automated process could micro-manage the tasks the game didn't automate for you (a lot of boring, repetitive wor

Ok, not democratic in that each person doesn't have an equal voice, but democratic in that anyone could buy some twitter botnet time and get their own message out.

Distribution of propaganda by bots is at least sort-of democratic. I wish there was more analysis of the automated suppression of news by the various platforms (twitter, facebook et al).

NFL players are probably compensated the worst out of the 4 major US sports. That's just in terms of what they get paid and doesn't even look at the total package of the risk they expose themselves to in terms of chronic injury,

> This is ridiculous because it lumps refined sugars in the same category as nutritious vegetables. It doesn't, though. Low carb diets focus on net carbs, which is carbs minus dietary fiber, and guess what: nutritious vegetables ha

It's a useful product. I'm actually surprised that the state of Stack Overflow clones isn't better. Although much of the value of SO comes from its knowledge base, the UI and organization and administration is nice to have

Yes, this is the major issue. Authors also can sell their extension, then re-publish their own non-malwared version as an alternative, then just keep doing it over and over again. I wrote some scripts to provide version pinning (just autom

Don't you get a lot of "are you a bot?" captchas (or just outright bans) from google / cloudflare / others? Happens to me with AWS.

It's amusing to see owners of disinformation platforms lose control of their content. They are put in the losing position of always playing catch-up to censor information which is often a pointless endeavor since by the time they catc

You could share the pre-trained models that take tons and tons of data and compute time to generate? The models themselves are abstract enough to be considered anonymous, by their very nature.. I think.

Hopefully Mycroft (or similar open-source alternatives) can provide the benefits without all the privacy / behavioral modification downsides. But I fear open source products like this will always languish behind commercial offerings.

Sports franchise values are increasing, in general, because they're artificially limited in number (there are only 32 NFL teams) and specifically because of (a) increased rights fees, (b) rising value of local broadcast deals, especia

Put it where it will have the most impact / get adopted, then that can cultivate a desire to have it for other browsers, and someone may get motivated to write those versions.
