Yeah the MLB media team really knows what they are doing. The MLB has long had the best tech out of the big 5 sports leagues in the US
This doesn't really seem that innovative to me -- even the postal service can send you an email of what is in your mailbox.
To take your comment a little deeper despite me knowing you are being facetious, I think that's exactly it: the algorithms cannot communicate to facilitate these types of advantages. They cannot, in essence, be human.…
This is awesome, and something I was doing as well for fun! Go's image package has some pretty nice primitives. One thing I think would make this even simpler is you could simply sequence the individual sprites using…
I just use a text editor with plugins.
Yep. I primarily use Go, so you are often forced down this way because it uses a simpler regex engine. I used to complain but in hindsight I realized it was a blessing in disguise. Particularly in Go's case, it has…
It's more likely that technological advances in mining techniques allow us to extract the millions of tons of gold closer to the upper mantle.
Within my own self, I have a dichotomy. When I am on the piano and reading from sheet music, I feel "classical." I am a bit more deliberate and I stumble a few times. When I am on my guitar, I mostly play by ear and…
Correct my understanding here where I am wrong - In my mind, if a leaf of a tree or any vegetation photosynthesizes, it is pulling in air (dirty air by your account which is why those leaves are brown) By the very…
Follow up, can you define much here? I am just interested in this, I read this paper as a primer to my own question, and it seems that with proper city and road planning combined with the effect trees have locally on…
This may sound like a naive question, but how does this compare to say, trees?
May I suggest a crazy idea? Ditch it and just see what happens. We are a large organization, and had an end of year crunch so naturally when you need to pinch the absolute most productivity out of your workers,…
This is the norm in more industries than you would expect. A primary example is food service. You have a main job function, but you do whatever is required of you. Dishwasher busted in the middle of the shift? Grab a…
Target is portrayed in the book "Naked Statistics" as having some pretty advanced data collection and modeling techniques -- they could figure out which of their shoppers were pregnant and adjust their weekly ads sent…
Is there a world of software architecture that exists outside the "OOP" patterns we have seen in the last 2 decades? A quarter of the way through my career and I have already grown weary of OOP. It's promises are never…
Most of the recent psychologists who study expert performers all tend to agree that "genius level" just like "innate talent" is a cognitive distortion and discredits the amount of actual effort, practice, and honing of…
Last time I looked at the source for Java's dual pivot quicksort implementation, it used exactly this for 7 elements or fewer
I also recommend taking up computer graphics for honing your skills in linear algebra. Graphics are essentially applied linear algebra.
In my case, for most my teenage and short adult life I was always left "feeling positive and motivated" except I would always fall back into the same habits. I started to expect the gentleness and kindness. What I…
> I'm not sure what it is Video games are perfect, especially for people who like to tinker and are curious, which to me has been every hacker ever. That's what it is. They literally are just really damn good at what…
I know many scoff at this (because I have this same opinion and get scoffed at) but this is so true. Video game addiction is very real. Very, very real. Just as debilitating as any other addiction. The only "advantage"…
> That is just the historical accident of UNIX taking over the industry. There is definitely truth to that. Go has taken over the Cloud, so there might even be parallel there as well.
I still think it's why some of the world's most complex software such as our operating systems, proxies, load balancers and web servers such as HAProxy and nginx are written in C -- raw speed aside. C itself is also a…
> Like a boat with no captain They haven't even left the dock.
You perfectly described the 2009 USA Today comic on the Copenhagen Climate Change conference.
