Yeah, we tried going to iPad for our kids but it’s so full of free to play junk.
Even with Amazon Kids, though, the games are still their free to play selves without purchases, so I still see these games where dopamine hits (get coins!) are a main mechanic :(
What’s strange is that iOS gives you no indication of where that sound is coming from…I guess I expected to be able to pause it somehow. Interesting, though!
Wow - if you're Type 1 and have an A1C in the "high threes"...you're definitely one of those exceptional patients. Your A1C is probably better than some non-diabetics!
I could see why you have a pretty high threshold for the quality of advice you want. Not sure it's a typical experience, though.
Would you consider non-trivial install scripts as an exception to this general rule? I mean, you wouldn't write some install script in ruby or python, right?
Definitely, but they keep it pretty vague. I'm assuming they're not just counting felonies, but also maybe someone who had some minor incident when they were a teenager.
I could see a lot of parents having some stupid minor on their record from when they were a bit more reckless.
This is cool - one item I think is wrong/misunderstood is Big Data > Data Lake Store.
It has nothing to do with ETL, it's basically just "HDFS in the cloud" [1] and a successor to using blob storage/regular old storage accounts for distributed/Hadoop-ish workloads.
While the actual change/patch is interesting, I found the long discussion and process to get it merged pretty interesting. It seemed to get bit tense at times in the "competition" between the two developers, but it seemed to have ended politely enough.

Yep, same experience here with both "Big Data" and the ML space. The decision makers need to see the sheer amount of Java, Scala and/or Python code you need to actually implement to do anything useful.
I've always assumed Stevia hasn't taken off yet because that means companies have to spend money on trying to rework "flavor profiles" to work with Stevia.
I long for a Stevia-powered Coke Zero...until they realize Stevia also causes horrible things in humans :-/
Well, a little more nuanced than that. I'd argue the convenience of getting books at the touch of a button outweighs some of its inconveniences (battery, etc.).
(1) Does the public accept that the FBI is even telling the truth on this (i.e., did they actually "break into" this iPhone)?
(2) If they did gain access to the iPhone's info, was it actually through the use of a vulnerability, or did they discover some other info that led them to the passcode?
