These are good suggestions but one of the better ways I think is to get on a call with the person that will be your manager or whoever you'll be reporting to. It cuts through a lot of cruft that you'd have to infer from the job ad and the company's online persona.
I didn't follow. If you take a high dimensional data set and project it are you not going to find patterns? In fact, let me ask it differently. Are there any projections that don't find patterns?
Right. He mentions a few but they again seem to be things chemists were aware of. I really wanted to see the patterns chemists didn't think of instead of the algorithms recovering what was already known.
Blizzard cleaned it all up. Their games were so good no one even bothered to compete. I spent countless hours playing starcraft and warcraft. The other games didn't have the same addictive elements.
Agreed, it's a huge reason. Blizzard is the Nintendo of the PC space. Developers have noted for ages that competing on Nintendo platforms meant you had to match their 1st party titles. Which are held to a higher standard than others and don't get the reviews they deserve. There are few true competitors to the Mario games, Smash Bros, Mario Party, and Mario Kart for the same reason most people don't want to be compared to Blizzard's efforts.
But this is all fame and power. It corrupts the participants of the game. I didn't understand the dig at feminism in the end because the article was about fame and power games and not specific ideologies.
