    But building a machine learning system requires that you make practical decisions: Should you collect more training data? Should you use end-to-end deep learning? How do you deal with your training set not matching your test set? and many more. Historically, the only way to learn how to make these "strategy" decisions has been a multi-year apprenticeship in a graduate program or company. This is a book to help you quickly gain this skill, so that you can become better at building AI systems.

    Witty, commonsensical, and eminently practical, it’s one of the best-loved and most recommended books on the subject.In this 3rd edition, Steve returns with fresh perspective to reexamine the principles that made Don’t Make Me Think a classic-–with updated examples and a new chapter on mobile usability. And it’s still short, profusely illustrated…and best of all–fun to read.If you’ve read it before, you’ll rediscover what made Don’t Make Me Think so essential to Web designers and developers around the world. If you’ve never read it, you’ll see why so many people have said it should be required reading for anyone working on Web sites.

    

    This is not a handbook. It’s more like a history book.Marshall McLuhan once said:We look at the present through a rear‐view mirror. We march backwards into the future.But in the world of web design, we are mostly preoccupied with the here and now. When we think beyond our present moment, it is usually to contemplate the future—to imagine the devices, features, and interfaces that don’t yet exist. We don’t have time to look back upon our past, and yet the history of web design is filled with interesting ideas.The World Wide Web has been around for long enough now that we can begin to evaluate the twists and turns of its evolution. I wrote this book to highlight some of the approaches to web design that have proven to be resilient. I didn’t do this purely out of historical interest (although I am fascinated by the already rich history of our young industry). In learning from the past, I believe we can better prepare for the future.You won’t find any code in here to help you build better websites. But you will find ideas and approaches. Ideas are more resilient than code. I’ve tried to combine the most resilient ideas from the history of web design into an approach for building the websites of the future.I hope you will join me in building a web that lasts; a web that’s resilient.

    The world's first object-oriented shell, the first designed-from-scratch shell for the Windows operating system, and now a cross-platform management shell, PowerShell's technical achievement is significant. It's easy to look at where PowerShell is today, and not realize or remember the long and sometimes-difficult road it took to get there.What if Microsoft's "next-gen" shell had been nothing more than a port of the Unix KornShell to Windows? What if PowerShell had never become a default, built-in component of the Windows operating system? What if PowerShell had simply been called, "Microsoft Shell?" Yeah, all of those things almost happened.In the end, the story of PowerShell is less about the technology, and more about the people who brought it to life, and the people who use it every day. It's about how one small band of passionate, crazy people with a vision can bring something wonderful into the world, in small, incremental, deliberate steps. It's about how the right people came together at the right time and did the right thing, and about the enormous community that rallied around them to make the whole thing an incredible success.Author Don Jones was with PowerShell from the beginning, and through a series of core team interviews, community discussions, and background research, he brings you this: the untold story of PowerShell, a Shell of an Idea.

    Bush and his family at Camp David and at their Texas home on Prairie Chapel Ranch. He offers a collection of recipes, photographs, stories, and memories of daily life as senior advance representative in the Office of Presidential Advance and as the personal chef and personal assistant to the president. Included with recipes of the author's signature hot cinnamon rolls and fried chicken are the Bush family’s favorite dishes, meals that world leaders were served, and a behind-the-scenes look at how he prepared for head of state visits and shopped for the first family. Wendel's account reveals a unique window into the hard work, detail, and protocol involved in working for the first family and reveals how the president welcomed world leaders using both his home and the power of sharing a meal in an intimate setting as a bridge-building diplomatic tool. Smoked beef tenderloin, stacked enchiladas, hot rolls, soups, and plenty of fresh salads were staples for the Bushes, but cheeseburgers became a tradition for their luncheons with world leaders at Prairie Chapel Ranch. Providing wholesome, delicious, comforting food to guests was their way of saying "Welcome. We're glad you are here."

    Great masterpieces of engineering are everywhere. As soon as you get out of bed in the morning, you are putting centuries of scientific and mechanical ingenuity to use. So familiar are these structures, inventions, and services that they are all but invisible. Yet they are just as remarkable as great works such as the Parthenon, the Eiffel Tower, and the Panama Canal.One of the pleasures of Everyday Engineering is the meticulous care that Dr. Ressler has taken in preparing over 150 working models that explain everything from an arch dam to the universal joint in a car's drive shaft. He also delights in the unexpected: in the last lecture he switches gears by examining a famous case when technology failed during the Great Northeast Blackout of 2003. Triggered by high electrical demand during a sweltering summer day, a short circuit due to overgrown trees, and a software bug that disabled a control room alarm system, the cascading series of breakdowns produced the worst-ever electric power blackout in North America. This incident serves as a graduation exercise for the course. Having explored the workings of the electrical power grid in previous lectures, you'll find that you understand the crisis in perfect detail. Indeed, you'll be ready to apply your broad understanding of everyday engineering to any technological issue that crosses your path in the future.

    In 2016, on stage at Wembley Arena in front of thousands of adoring fans, Dr Ruja Ignatova promised her followers a financial revolution. The future, she said, belonged to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. And the Oxford-educated, self-styled cryptoqueen vowed that she had invented the Bitcoin Killer. OneCoin would not only earn its investors untold fortunes, it would change the world.By March 2017 more than $4 billion had been invested in OneCoin in dozens of countries, from the USA to Pakistan, Hong Kong to Yemen, and the UK to Brazil. But by October 2017, Ruja Ignatova had disappeared, and it slowly became clear that her revolutionary cryptocurrency was not all it seemed. In The Missing Cryptoqueen, Jamie Bartlett tells the unbelievable story of the rise, disappearance and fall of Dr Ruja Ignatova, setting out on a globe-crossing investigation into the criminal underworlds, corrupt governments and the super-rich. Along the way, he reveals a very modern tale of intrigue, techno-hype and herd madness that allowed OneCoin to become a million person pyramid scheme – where, at the top, investors were making millions and, at the bottom, people were putting their livelihoods at risk. It’s the inside story of the smartest and biggest scam of the 21st Century – and the genius behind it, who is still on the run.

Her Courageous Brain Process (CBP) provides six science-based steps you can take to successfully manage your fears.

    This beautifully produced book looks at the plants that most of us take for granted, but which have changed the world, for better and for worse. The story of these plants is also the story of human survival and ingenuity (the invention of agriculture); the greed of men and their rulers, and the founding of trade routes and empires (think of opium and spices); advances in science and medicine; of new frontiers such as genetic modification and plants grown by NASA in outer space. The roots of civilisation looks not only at the the better known world-changers like opium, tobacco, cotton and the orchid, but also at the humbler flora that have quietly but profoundly shaped human civilisation. Chapters are divided into areas ranging from fibre plants; foods, herbs and spices; flowers; medicinal; poisonous; psychotropic; and, shelter."--Provided by publisher.

    Hyper-productive teams and organizations have always existed, both in the business and military fields. Naturally, they are rare statistical outliers. The main focus of this book is how one can build and manage a hyper-productive knowledge-work organization, by taking as a source of inspiration the experience matured in the field of software engineering. Software development organizations — like Microsoft, Google, Oracle; but also high profile open source organizations like Apache, Ubuntu, Drupal and others — can be considered as archetypal knowledge­based organizations, because the totality of artifacts produced by a software business is purely immaterial. Software development organizations were the first one to confront the challenges of completely immaterial processes, entirely based on knowledge. They were also the first organizations to experience the socio-technological impact of information technology (especially the development of computer networks) on their internal work processes and organizational structures. Due to its frantic and exponential pace of innovation, the field of software development also became a testbed for a variety of approaches and methods for managing immaterial knowledge work, typically under the form of software development processes and methodologies. Numerous alternatives evolved over a relatively short period, with a lot of healthy competition in between them; with vehement “holy wars” between proponents of one approach or another; and with many anecdotes about both successes and failures. Valuable insights can be gained by studying the organizational and managerial approaches successfully adopted by the industry that produced the information revolution — that is, those organizations that engage first hand in software development — and then by extrapolating those organizational and managerial processes to the more general case of knowledge­based organizations. Nowadays, the majority of organizations have become knowledge-based. Even the most resilient and traditional "brick­ and ­mortar" businesses are forced to become knowledge­based organizations. For instance, consider the impact of large­scale 3D printing on the construction industry ("Contour Crafting"), where bricks and mortar literally become software. Or nanoscale technologies, where manufacturing at the sub-atomic level becomes software. The key tenet of this book is that organizational hyper-productivity stems from the two Noble Patterns of "Unity of Purpose" and "Community of Trust." The leaders and the top executives of the organization play a critical role in creating the conditions for these patterns to become effective. Management must play an active role in leading the organization towards these conditions. In the case of software (and knowledge) organizations, management will have to gain a deep understanding of the nature of software or knowledge work; and that nature is rooted in empiricism. Top executives already have that understanding; though they might not be aware of it, and – unfortunately – do not act consequently. Management must create the conditions for the development of a learning organization. Financial responsibility must be exercised differently, and in way that is compatible with the empirical nature of knowledge work. Key roles must be nurtured, while each team needs to develop their own shared vision of their purpose. Practical help comes from many sources, and we will look specifically, into like: Kanban, Scrum and the Theory of Constraints. The Theory of Constraints nurtures Unity of Purpose and Community of Trust in many ways. In particular, the Theory of Constraints squarely addresses the need to arrive at common metrics by which all and everybody are driven; and overcomes the structural impediments (rooted in the use of cost accounting and efficiency metrics for management purposes) which are the sources of divergence of purpose and hidden agendas. Kanban and Scrum are widely used in modern knowledge work businesses. The Theory of Constraint can extend them in powerful ways, bringing more predictability of behavior of the system as a whole, as well as of the individuals. Their combination becomes a powerful breeding ground for the development of Unity of Purpose and Community of Trust. Both Kanban and Scrum can be extended with features of the Theory of Constraint, and help creating a hyper-productive organization. The book will present practical ways by which such combination might be realized.

    Trance is used consciously and unconsciously not only by psychologists, therapists and hypnotists, but also yogis, priests, magicians, witches, advertisers, politicians, lawyers, addicts and psychotics. Writing from his personal experience, Wier suggests that some of these ideas might represent new practical precision tools for psychologists as well as for those who work with the occult. Practical suggestions for meditators, yogis, witches and others are included to deepen trance and to increase the depth as well as terminating trance. Pathological trance and trance abuse are also described with suggestion on how they may be recognized and prevented.

    The result is surprising history with many oft repeated but inaccurate characterizations of the combatants debunked. In addition to a story about technology this book sheds new light on combat operations and the actual losses (not just claims) each side suffered. "Great air-warfare history. Well-written; extremely well researched (many excellent photographs); exciting reading; and important lessons learned. Highly recommended (Hon. Jacques S. Gansler, Ph.D., Professor, University of Maryland, former Under Secretary of Defense). "Rick Dunn is to be commended for having written the first comprehensive study of a vital subject in aviation history which, all too often, has received only superficial and subjective treatment. His probing analysis strips away widely-held misconceptions and much myth surrounding the issues to reveal a complex multi-layered reality. Every serious student of military aviation history should read this book (Osamu Tagaya, Aviation historian and author). "Rick Dunn tells the fascinating story of how Britain and Germany developed the first 'crash proof fuel tanks,' and how other countries including the United States and Japan scrambled to catch up, to save their pilots from death or disfiguring burns. With many splendid photos and drawings, this is a must for every military aviation library" (Daniel Ford, author of Flying Tigers: Claire Chennault and His American Volunteers).

    The project model doesn't reflect this world because projects end. In the digital world both software and business are continual. So management needs a new model.This books sets out the Continuous Digital model of software development based on continuous work streams. Continuous Digital is a logical continuation of agile software development which enables continuous delivery.The #NoProjects movement has successfully set out the problems with project thinking over the last three years but has rightly been criticised for not elaborating on what should replace the project model. This volume sets out to address that problem. This book focused on describing an alternative to projects and for completeness contains a critique of the project model.

    Meanwhile, all around her, everyone else seems to be getting on with their lives: her corn-fed, relentlessly optimistic boyfriend, Jamie, has no hesitation about committing to a shared future, and even her reserved Japanese father is energized by a new relationship--his first since her mother's passing when Evelyn was just fourteen. The privacy-invading, norm-reinforcing apps, algorithms, and self-optimization messaging that surround her seem more sure of what Evelyn should think and want than she is.Looking for a change, Evelyn accepts a job as a researcher at the third-most popular internet company, housed at a glass and steel office building in downtown San Francisco. There, she is charged with aiding in the development of an app that will help users quantify--and augment--their happiness. As she grapples with the tech world's bewildering work culture and jolting excess, an unexpected development in her personal life upends her assumptions about her future, and Evelyn embarks on a journey towards an authentic happiness all her own.Wry, touching, and sharply attuned to the ambivalence, atomization, and illusion of control that characterize modern life, Happy for You is a story of a young woman at a crossroads that movingly explores how, even in this mediated world, our emotions, contradictions, and vulnerabilities have a transformative power we could never predict.

    You’ll explore real-world scenarios where poor understanding of tradeoffs lead to major problems down the road, to help you make better design decisions.

    Some 85 million anti-personnel weapons now lie scattered around the world, yet little has been published about them outside defence circles. The unique story of their terrifying development and proliferation since World War II makes clear why an entire UN Treaty, the 1980 Conventional Weapons Convention, is now devoted to the subject - and up for review later this year.

    But that territory is not in one place — it’s spread around the world, fully decentralized, hooked together by the internet for a common cause, much like Google’s offices or Bitcoin’s miners. And because every citizen has opted in, it’s a model for 100% democracy rather than the minimum threshold of consent modeled by 51% democracies.Of course, there are countless questions that need to be answered to build something of this scope. How does a network state work socially, technically, logistically, legally, physically, financially? How could such a thing even be viable?That’s why you should read this book.

    With visual programming systems and advanced languages putting huge buffers between users, programmers, and the computer itself, all understanding of what the computer is actually doing goes out the window (...or perhaps we should say out the Windows!). • The simplest way to learn about bits, bytes, and binary is right here!

Want to be a better programmer? Want to make more money by sky-rocketing your skill set above others who want to shortcut their skills? Perhaps you're just curious as to what this binary stuff ids all about? Click to get this book and see how simple bits, bytes, binary, and even a little something called hexadecimal can be! If you're a programmer or want to be one, nothing increases your understanding and skills more than knowing your computer's internals! Knowing what happens inside your machine is your number one key to being a better programmer who actually understands programming! • Did you know that your computer is not even physically capable of subtracting one number from another? All your computer can do is add! (But it does this really fast!) • Did you know that when a computer is said to have 4 gigabytes of memory, it does not actually have 4 gigabytes of memory? (It has more and you should know why!) • Did you know that your computer cannot even manipulate text? The only thing your computer can do is work with 1's and 0's! (It takes a lot of work to make people think computers handle text as easily as they seem to do!)

    Fourteen of the ship's 43 crewmen died in the crash. The Shenandoah was America's first rigid dirigible. It was longer than two football fields and powered by five 300-horsepower Packard engines. Ripped apart by strong winds over rural Ohio, the buoyant nose of the ship circled helplessly in the storm for nearly an hour, finally coming to rest 12 miles away where six crewmen staggered out dazed but alive. Thousands of curiosity-seekers swarmed to the crash sites, trampling crops, flattening fences and stripping the carcass of the great ship almost bare. Army troops were called in to maintain control. The crash made front-page news around the world. But as the years have passed, this historic event has all but faded from our collective memory. Now - this tragic story is told anew, with over 100 photographs and illustrations.

    Written by a high school programming teacher, Learning Computer Programming emphasizes the most relevant topics for beginners and pinpoints the essentials of programming success. There are so many programming languages in use today that it's difficult to decide which one to learn, especially for beginning programmers. With this in mind, Learning Computer Programming: It's Not About Languages focuses on "programming" skills instead of specific languages. Languages will always change so to become an effective programmer, it's important to understand the fundamentals before tackling a specific language. The book is language independent and uses examples from a variety of languages including the most popular C++, JAVA, and HTML, which each have a chapter devoted to them. Using helpful hints, activities, and watchouts, the book gently guides the student through the maze of programming techniques, concepts, and pitfalls.

    Life looked perfect. So why was she unhappy? Tracey’s perfect-looking façade crumbled when thirteen-year-old Amelia was diagnosed with depression and an eating disorder. When Tracey discovered blood around the house, she realized that Amelia was cutting herself. Desperate, she and her husband did everything they could to help Amelia get better—to no avail. As her daughter spiraled out of control, Tracey was confronted with heartbreak she’d never imagined possible, as well as the realization that the system that was supposed to help her daughter was horribly flawed. This descent into darkness and fear for her daughter’s life led Tracey, one painful step at a time, to peel back the layers of armor she’d spent years collecting. She had to reevaluate her values and confront her beliefs, habits, and patterns. In short, she had to lead by example—had to learn how to care, truly care, about herself in order to teach Amelia to do the same. In the end, the key to helping her daughter was first helping herself.

    He also declared that science would make the "remote reaches of the mind accessible" and cure psychiatric illness with breakthrough medications. We were walking on the moon within the decade. But today, psychiatric cures continue to elude us--as does the mind itself. Why is it that we still don't understand how the mind works? What is the difference between the mind and the brain? And given all that we still don't know, how can we make insightful, transformative choices about our psychiatric conditions?When Daniel Bergner's younger brother was diagnosed as bipolar and put on a locked ward in the 1980s, psychiatry seemed to have achieved what JFK promised: a revolution of chemical solutions to treat mental illness. Yet as Bergner's brother was deemed a dire risk for suicide and he and his family were told his disorder would be lifelong, he found himself taking heavy doses of medications with devastating side effects.Now, in recounting his brother's journey alongside the gripping, illuminating stories of Caroline, who is beset by the hallucinations of psychosis, and David, who is overtaken by depression, Bergner examines the evolution of how we treat our psyches. He reveals how the pharmaceutical industry has perpetuated our biological view of the mind and our drug-based assumptions about treatment--despite the shocking price paid by many patients and the problematic evidence of drug efficacy. And he takes us into the pioneering labs of today's preeminent neuroscientists, sharing their remarkably candid reflections and fascinating new theories of treatment.The Mind and the Moon raises profound questions about how we understand ourselves and the essential human divide between our brains and our minds. This is a book of thought-provoking reframings, delving into the science--and spirit--of our psyches. It is about vulnerability and personal dignity, the terrifying choices confronted by families and patients, and the prospect of alternatives. In The Mind and the Moon, Bergner beautifully explores how to seek a deeper engagement with ourselves and one another--and how to find a better path toward caring for our minds.

    Robert Earl Davis Jr., changed rap and hip-hop forever. In the 1990s, in a spare room of his Houston home, he developed a revolutionary mixing technique known as chopped and screwed. Spinning two copies of a record, Screw would “chop” in new rhythms, bring in local rappers to freestyle over the tracks, and slow the recording down on tape. Soon Houstonians were lining up to buy his cassettes—he could sell thousands in a single day. Fans drove around town blasting his music, a sound that came to define the city’s burgeoning and innovative rap culture. June 27 has become an unofficial city holiday, inspired by a legendary mix Screw made on that date.Lance Scott Walker has interviewed nearly everyone who knew Screw, from childhood friends to collaborators to aficionados who evangelized Screw’s tapes—millions of which made their way around the globe—as well as the New York rap moguls who honored him. Walker brings these voices together with captivating details of Screw’s craft and his world. More than the story of one man, DJ Screw is a history of the Houston scene as it came of age, full of vibrant moments and characters. But none can top Screw himself, a pioneer whose mystique has only grown in the two decades since his death.
