The Codist: My Biggest Regret As A Programmer. Moneyball is dead. Long live Moneyball! While it seems the term has been around baseball forever, the concept of “moneyball” — coined to describe the Oakland Athletics’ approach to building competitive teams despite being hamstrung with one of the sport’s lowest payrolls — entered the popular lexicon with Michael Lewis’ Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, in 2003 (followed by the film).
The concept is simple. Rather than relying on the traditional, often subjective wisdom of baseball-lifer scouts, who use their eyes to judge player ability, moneyball uses an analytical, evidence-based approach to build a roster. It’s useful for cash-strapped teams because it typically identifies undervalued, overlooked players. For a while, it worked. This War On Math Is Still Bullshit. In the wake of Paris, San Bernardino, and now Brussels, the encryption debate has become such a potent cocktail of horror, idiocy, and farce that it has become hard to tease out any rational threads of discussion.

Vous tapez à 2 doigts au clavier ? Ce n’est pas forcément plus lent qu’à 10 d’après une étude. À l’université Aalto, en Finlande, on aime bien filmer les mains des gens en train de taper au clavier.
Mais au-delà du simple hobby étrange, cela permet d’apprendre quelques petites choses sur la manière dont nous nous servons de ce périphérique. Notre logique instinctive nous laisse penser que ceux qui tapent au clavier avec leurs dix doigts vont plus vite que ceux qui tapent avec seulement leurs index. Il semblerait en fait que non.

Windows Phone is dead. Windows Phone started off life as a promising alternative to Android and iOS five years ago.
Microsoft positioned its range of Windows Phone 7 handsets as the true third mobile ecosystem, but it's time to admit it has failed. If a lack of devices from phone makers and even Microsoft itself wasn't enough evidence, the final nail in the coffin hit today. Microsoft only sold 4.5 million Lumia devices in the recent quarter, compared to 10.5 million at the same time last year. That's a massive 57 percent drop. Even a 57 percent increase wouldn't be enough to save Windows Phone right now. Microsoft and Nokia have sold a total of 110 million Windows Phones compared to 4.5 billion iOS and Android phones in the same period.

LiquidTalent Launches On-Demand Marketplace For Designers And Developers.
LiquidTalent has today launched out of beta, offering companies a marketplace to find high-quality developer and designer talent on-demand both on the web and mobile. The company was founded by Alex Abelin, Google’s former public affairs manager, and Scott Annan under the premise that developers and designers (as well as the companies hiring them) want to work as freelancers with more freedom as opposed to traditional employees. LiquidTalent also says that most companies are paying a hefty sum to hire through recruiters, and that LiquidTalent can save those companies money by offering high-quality professional connections.
Here’s how it works: On both the talent side and the hiring side, users are asked to enter in some relevant details and connect through social platforms. LiquidTalent then uses social connections, as well as areas of expertise and the details of the project, to pair the company with the right talent to get the job done.
