git doesn't necessarily handle large binaries well (less true in recent versions). Also, when using Maven (etc) you can upgrade libraries just by bumping up the version # rather than hunting down the new jar manually. You can also use the same cached jar in multiple apps/modules rather that committing it in all of them - good if you've got a modularised application.
There are also other benefits like automatically downloading and linking sources and documentation (more relevant if using an IDE).
>Stockfish might be able to tell you what it was doing, but not in a way that it would be reasonable for a human to follow.
Looking at the code posted, if the sub-scores were stored in an array and only added at the end, it would be possible to compare the positions after two moves by sub-score and find the biggest differences between subscores. Then you could say that position A is better than position B because it avoid doubled pawns, or has better bishops, etc.
I can't find an example on Google right now, but I've seen demonstrations that it's possible to visualize the intermediate layers of a neural network - for example you can see how an image recognition network is first breaking down an image into horizontal and vertical lines, then combining those into more complex shapes, etc.
Looks cool, but I'm a bit confused about the colorized examples. It seems like in some of the examples, there are blocks that are colored red that are further away in maze-distance than other blocks that are green, etc. Do the colors roll-over after a certain distance?
Fluid intelligence (basically ability to process new things quickly) falls with age while crystallized intelligence (basically knowledge/experience) continues to improve, eg:
Those are tactical considerations and have nothing to do with the general liberal attempt to make the entire line of consideration verboten. Liberals would have it that we should pretend that such considerations don't even exist, which is transparently stupid.
Ah, good old Whig history. Well, as we can see from the rise of the Right world-wide and of neo-Reaction among thoughtful people online (hey, I used to be liberal too, you know), you may not be on the 'winning' side forever. So try not to be such an arrogant douchebag now, lest you fall that much harder later.
You explained why it's illegal, but I don't agree with the reasoning. I don't believe the government should be interfering in this kind of thing at all to begin with, but this is a particularly stupid example where something that is clearly highly relevant is somehow off limits due to political correctness.
Same to you buddy. Guess we'll have to fight it out in the political arena like anything else people can't agree on.
PS I didn't even say the things I believe that would really make you angry, like "pregnant women and women with young children probably shouldn't be working at all, and definitely not running a startup".
PPS That's a hell of a lot of wild assumptions about what "people like me" believe" off of one sentence.
I love(d) Adventure Time but it's (IMO) suffering from the same problem as many good American shows, which is that as long as it's profitable the network keeps it going even after it's run out of creative steam. I'm sure there are still good episodes but I've mostly lost interest in the thing as a whole.
I'm sick of all these software engineering articles which are so vague and give no numbers, no hard evidence, and not even any very specific anecdotes.
I agree - in particular, for advanced Scala libraries it can be hard to understand the source, which can make them hard to use without thorough documentation which is often lacking.
Java hate is overblown, but compared to say Scala (I have professional experience with both) it makes a lot of relatively trivial things (like basic data-holding classes and operations upon them) more painful and verbose than they need to be.
User game reviews are pretty worthless due to the trend of angry users spamming bad reviews to punish the developer whenever they're upset about some small thing.
