It's definitely a story of economics. Raising a family doesn't mesh well with being a fungible producer of labor.

I've never worked on PHP code in a truly professional context, but I've had one-off (very) small jobs where I've had to perform maintenance on some PHP. I have no doubt that the language and tooling has improved over the year

I think Unity isn't too bad about screen real estate and mostly staying out of the way, and I like the Cinnamon throw back a great deal. But what I like most of all is chucking the entire desktop metaphor into the bin and using a tilin

I agree with your post. Had a bad experience with the chromecast recently, but I managed to figure out that it required an update (through the android cast app) even though it did not indicate it anywhere else. I guess they assumed that it

You can code yourself into a corner no matter what language you use. I've not seen much of this beautiful many-seamed code that could suddenly accommodate unanticipated feature requirements without rearchitecture, but I have enjoyed a

The real problem is exhibited but not addressed: a plague of insipid descriptions next to each photo followed by a string of dumb hashtags. Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong

To be fair, I think a larger sample size of human vs computer games are needed. Let the top pros train with the computers and we can measure what level is beyond any human.

The result of the shoulder hit coordinated with black's bottom formation, and the extension on the 4th line that threatened to cut white's stones off was flexible and could have easily formed an impressive moyo on the bottom. It d

I think AlphaGo is playing very natural go! The 5th move shoulder hit that is the subject of so much commentary would fit into the theory of go that players like Takemiya espouse. It has chosen to emphasize influence and speed and has not b

The last victory was significant, but this victory was far more significant. The professional dan scale isn't exactly linear and the ranks can't simply be compared numerically even when they are granted by the same organization -

I was one of the people who rooted for the champion last month, and my position hasn't changed. Last night's game was very exciting, but if the pressure doesn't get to Sedol he has a chance. He made some mistakes in the game

I believe that Lee Sedol would sweep all the games if he were to play Fan Hui under the same conditions, which makes the wait until the official match tantalizing. It's fair to say that AlphaGo has mastered Go, but there is a very larg

I cant tell if your post is satire. Historically the life of the common working man has been one of varied conditions. People have worked more but also much less in the past. The conditions of society aren't fixed by any obvious univer

The results of the study are a bit counter-intuitive for me. I prefer to read and write software with <80 cpl, and find it difficult to read programs with longer lines. Maybe the difference between reading articles and software is to gre
