INDUSTRY INSIGHTS YOUR PEERS ARE READING
MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM) is a digital media and content infrastructure provider that powers an ever-growing number of massively popular media and entertainment properties. MORE
The book is also sprinkled with plenty of humorous bits—making for a very entertaining read (how often can you say that about tech books?). Responsive design has many challenges. Performance. Tables. Images. Content. Testing. Each of these, and so much more, must be carefully considered. Most of the solutions are still coming together. We are, as some have been apt to say, making this up as we go. MORE
Individual anonymity is a contributing factor to protecting those rights, as the individual is free to make decisions - what to do, how to drive, what to eat, what to invest in, what to read, how to be entertained - without fear of repercussion for the choices they make. MORE
We have challenged these teams to create a socialbot, a conversational AI skill for Alexa that converses engagingly and coherently with humans for 20 minutes on popular topics and news events such as Entertainment, Fashion, Politics, Sports, and Technology. MORE
This article titled " Überlebensstrategie für die digitale Transformation " appeared in German last week in the "Die Zukunft beginnt heute (the future starts today)" section of Wirtschaftwoche. Smaller companies have a lot to gain in the digital era – provided they adopt the right mindset. MORE

For those who aren't familiar, Alexa Prize teams use customer feedback to advance several areas of conversational AI, with the grand challenge being a socialbot that can engage coherently for 20 minutes in a fun, high-quality conversation on popular topics such as entertainment, sports, technology, and fashion. A while back I wrote about the Alexa Prize , a university competition where participating teams are creating socialbots focused on advancing computer to human interaction. MORE
It’s also highly entertaining to watch C-Reduce work its magic. Support for a long awaited GNU C extension, asm goto , is in the midst of landing in Clang and LLVM. We want to make sure that we release a high quality implementation, so it’s important to test the new patches on real code and not just small test cases. When we hit compiler bugs in large source files, it can be tricky to find exactly what part of potentially large translation units are problematic. MORE
I also wrote and published an entertaining SMF manifest that played music. Many people have contacted me recently about switching from Solaris (or illumos) to Linux, especially since most of the Solaris kernel team were let go this year (including my former colleagues, I'm sorry to hear). MORE
To wit: it is a little bit shocking that the highest paid public employee is a professional entertainer , rather than a professional administrator or legislator. The chattering classes would have us believe that technology disrupts. It does not. Socio-economic conditions change to create an incongruity that is ripe for exploitation. MORE
Michael Carducci takes an entertaining look at why humans are so easy to fool, and he explores what we can do to overcome our weaknesses and build more secure software. Experts explore software architecture security, design heuristics, Next Architecture, and more. MORE
We needed to serve our growing base of startup, government, and enterprise customers across many vertical industries, including automotive, financial services, media and entertainment, high technology, education, and energy. MORE
I think it does a good job of explaining how I felt about Mat’s excellent book: Image Performance is an entertaining, practical introduction to the finer details of image compression and performance online. I had the best of intentions last year. I was going to make it the fourth year in a row of reading more than I did the prior year. More than that, I was going to write detailed reviews of everything I read. Neither of those things really panned out. MORE
I’ve always wondered why this is: what it is about developers and their experience that tends to make them react to the idea of “root cause is a myth” like an immune system seeking out a foreign agent, while operations engineers tend to at least entertain the idea? MORE
The infotainment and entertainment industry has undergone a phenomenal change with online channels and providing features such as movies and other content on demand. MORE
You can focus on engineering and getting stuff done, with awesome staff who will help you. ## Mission I spoke about this in my 2015 post, but it's worth repeating: our mission is to improve how entertainment is consumed worldwide, by building a great product that people choose to buy. MORE
It's an entertainment website where users can post content or "memes" that they find amusing and share them across social media networks. Today, I am very excited to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in Hong Kong! MORE
I also have to admit to being thoroughly entertained by many of Scott’s delightfully cheesy one-liners. Yesterday Guy Podjarny published his analysis of the use of responsive design among the top 10,000 websites. He found that adoption jumped from 10.8% to 18.7% over the last year. Another recent survey showed that a hefty 90% of publishers are looking at implementing responsive design. However you want to slice it, responsive design is an increasingly popular technique. MORE

It was the first new Pokémon game in years, the first official Pokémon smartphone game, and Niantic’s first project in concert with a major entertainment company. There are a lot of cool nuggets in Google's New Book: The Site Reliability Workbook. MORE
His style of writing is just so pleasant: conversational, informative and entertaining. MORE
Social media is a form of entertainment that shifts people's allocation of their leisure time. Creating new behaviours is more disruptive than being the first to apply technologies established in one market segment into another: streaming video to personal technology on airplanes is interesting, and doubtless it will allow airlines to eliminate in-seat entertainment systems that add weight and burn jet fuel, but it brings established behaviours into a different context. MORE

The book is interspersed with subtle humor that makes the book not just educational, but entertaining as well. According to a recent report , by 2015 more people in the US will be accessing the Internet using mobile devices than through PCs. If this was the only thing mobile had going for it, it would be enough to justify the need for Luke’s new book ‘Mobile First’. Luke argues that you should design, and build, your mobile experience first. MORE
We’re really proud of the improvements we’ve brought to the video experience, but the focus on those makes it easy to overlook the importance of sound , and sound is every bit as important to entertainment as video. MORE

We don't equate investing in Microsoft with investing in King Digital Entertainment. The volatile nature of tech companies makes them better suited to equity funding as opposed to debt. Equity is high-risk capital: owners are exposed to the upside of growth (you stand to make a lot of money), but also the downside of failure (you stand to lose everything you put in). Debt is not: how much risk is there to the lender when the borrower guarantees a return? MORE
Suppose that the operating company is in a firefight for market share, where the primary weapons are customer-facing technology (as is happening in retail, entertainment, and, to a lesser extent, airlines - all of which have capital intensive asset-cos side-by-side with cash generative op-cos.).

Wickedly smart and wildly entertaining – didn’t want it to end — Melissa O’Kane. It wasn’t what I was expecting, but it ended up being just what I needed. When one of the people who attended Breaking Development in Dallas , told me that on the last day of the event, I couldn’t help but smile.

His point, very Neil Postman-esque, is particularly true in today’s world of entertainment-driven news and fast-moving social networks that I’m increasingly convinced that, by default, only amplify existing biases. Williams book is an example of why the pop-sci genre became so popular in the first place—it’s well-written, well-researched, engaging and entertaining. I spent a lot less time this year on social media. MORE
