Contact: [HN username] [at] gmail.comFirst, in list assignment the first array or hash will soak up all remaining values not yet assigned.
my ($first, $next, @rest, @empty) = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$first is now 1$next is 2
@rest is (3,4,5)
@empty is undefined;

The second issue is that the split() function takes an optional "Limit" argument (split /PATTERN/,EXPR,LIMIT)
This causes the example code (split /-/,$str2, split /;/, $str4) to be evaluated as split /-/,$str2,split(/;/, $str4) which evaluates as split /-/,$str2,2
Here, split /;/,$str4 evaluates to 2 because, in scalar context, split returns the length of the resulting list - since there are two elements after splitting $str4 it returns 2.
In this case, the result of splitting $str2 results in two elements so the limit doesn't matter.
If $str2 were 'This-string-has-many-dashes', the result of (split /-/,$str2, split /;/, $str4) would be:
array 3[0] is: This
array 3[1] is: string-has-many-dashes
array 4[0] is:
array 4[1] is:
see: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/split.htmlThere aren't any, I searched the last time the "Feynman Technique" was posted on HN and found that the term originated on Youtube [0] in 2011.
When challenged by a commenter for a source the Youtuber stated:
> The technique is inspired by Feynman, not used directly by him.
> I was inspired by the story I shared in the beginning to formulate
> his more informal approach into a method. You can see him talk
> about understanding the math ideas in his book "Surely You Must Be
> Joking, Mr. Feynman"
From there it appears that "inspired by" has transformed into "created by"

Like you, I imagine most who use those features are using chromium and not sending those stats to Google.

MDN Javascript resources: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript
Before starting the tutorials, take some time to learn what's available in the Firefox developer tools. You won't need most of them at first, but knowing what's available will help as you gain experience.
The two developer tools you'll probably use most when leaning are the Scratchpad (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Scratchpad) and Console (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console)
https://jsfiddle.net/ & http://jshint.com/ will also be very useful while learning JS
I haven't taken any but Udacity has some javascript courses (https://www.udacity.com/courses/all), just tick the "Javascript" checkbox under "Technology" in the left menu

8. Conclusion
From a modeling perspective, this work has demon-
strated that temporal architectures are particularly efficient
for learning of dynamic features from a large corpus of
noisy temporal signals, and that the learned representations
can be further incorporated in a generative setting. With
respect to the particular application, we have confirmed
that natural human kinematics convey necessary informa-
tion about person identity and therefore can be useful for
user authentication on mobile devices. The obtained results
look particularly promising, given the fact that the system is
completely non-intrusive and non-cooperative,i.e. does not
require any effort from the user’s side.
Non-standard weak biometrics are particularly interest-
ing for providing the context in, for example, face recog-
nition or speaker verification scenarios. Further augmenta-
tion with data extracted from keystroke and touch patterns,
user location, connectivity and application statistics (ongo-
ing work) may be a key to creating the first secure non-
obtrusive mobile authentication frameworkThe Manhattan Project: an interactive history

Does it mean that the new traffic predictions, as well as the
increased waypoints limits, are not accessible via the JavaScript API
except for Google Maps for Work customers, but they are accessible to
the general public via some other API?
It appears so, but they state "for now" so I'm guessing it will be available (hopefully) soon. What is the non-JavaScript Maps API?
There are Java and Python client libraries: https://developers.google.com/maps/web-services/client-libra... You may be thinking this map shows the same patterns you would see in
a population density map. And you’d be right. But more details appear
as you zoom in. Like Nick Bowmen (18) and Nelson Liu (18, pictured left). The duo
forms team ASLSpeak - winner of both the Microsoft Hack Award and the
EMC Isilon Hack Award.
Knowing they wanted to create something to help the disabled in some
way, they came up with an idea that aims to aid American Sign Language
(ASL) speakers.
