A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence "Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality--the study of cause and effect--on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why . |

“This gonzo-journalistic exploration of the Silicon Valley techno-utopians’ pursuit of escaping mortality is a breezy romp full of colorful characters.” — New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice) Transhumanism is a movement pushing the limits of our bodies—our capabilities, intelligence, and lifespans—in the hopes that, through technology, we can become something better than ourselves. It has found support among Silicon Valley billionaires and some of the world’s biggest businesses. In To Be a Machine , journalist Mark O'Connell explores the staggering possibilities and moral quandaries that present themselves when you of think of your body as a device. He visits the world's foremost cryonics facility to witness how some have chosen to forestall death.  He discovers an underground collective of biohackers, implanting electronics under their skin to enhance their senses. He meets a team of scientists urgently investigating how to protect mankind from artificial superintelligence. Where is our obsession with technology leading us? What does the rise of AI mean not just for our offices and homes, but for our humanity? Could the technologies we create to help us eventually bring us to harm?  Addressing these questions, O'Connell presents a profound, provocative, often laugh-out-loud-funny look at an influential movement. In investigating what it means to be a machine, he offers a surprising meditation on what it means to be human. |

What Is This Book About Chapter 1 covers the fundamentals of the object-oriented programming: encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. We will discuss the purpose of abstraction and inheritance, and why you should avoid using inheritance for code reuse. This chapter also covers such language specific features as traits and closures and their role in the object-oriented code. And at the end of the chapter, I will introduce such a powerful tool as Dependency Injection , different types of it and some code smells of its wrong usage.   Chapter 2 is fully devoted to SOLID principles. We will discuss each of them: the main idea behind the principle, how to apply it to your code and some problems that you can face following these principles blindly.   Chapter 3 is an introduction to an object-oriented design. It covers the well knows design principles such as: Tell, don't ask The Law of Demeter YAGNI Kiss Dry This chapter also covers some basic anti-patterns that you can meet in the code with poor design.   Chapter 4 opens the topic of the design patterns and composition. We will discuss the difference between inheritance and composition and when each of them is more appropriate to use. This chapter covers such design patterns as State , Strategy ,  Adapter and their comparison with the inheritance approach.   Chapter 5 describes the problem "I don't have the interface that I want." . We will cover situations when we need to make two incompatible interfaces work together and how to reduce the complexity of the subsystem and hide it behind the friendly interface.    Chapter 6 is about GRASP principles and Responsibility Driven Design. It is often a challenge to choose the right object for a particular job and to decide how the objects should interact with each other. Correct responsibility assignments are the key to a good object oriented design.   Who Is This Book For This is not a beginner's guide to OOP PHP.  We are not going to cover the syntax of classes or the difference between public , protected and private keywords. I assume that you are already familiar with these things.  I assume that you are familiar with the language itself and have been using it in an object-oriented way for several years. The number of years does not matter. You can have a year of personal study and mastered the art of programming or ten years of maintaining the same application. Anyway, you know the basic concepts of the object-oriented programming, such as encapsulation , inheritance and polymorphism . Likely you have used a few of the modern MVC frameworks and even have studied their source code to go deeper.    The book is for you if you have left the basics behind some years ago and now feel free in writing complex OOP code. But you always feel that you don't fully understand why things should be in this way, and not differently. Maybe you know what every letter means in the SOLID acronym but have been always curious why strictly following these principles sometimes makes your application even worse than it was before. |

Taking “Gangnam Style” seriously: what Internet memes can tell us about digital culture. In December 2012, the exuberant video “Gangnam Style” became the first YouTube clip to be viewed more than one billion times. Thousands of its viewers responded by creating and posting their own variations of the video—“Mitt Romney Style,” “NASA Johnson Style,” “Egyptian Style,” and many others. “Gangnam Style” (and its attendant parodies, imitations, and derivations) is one of the most famous examples of an Internet meme: a piece of digital content that spreads quickly around the web in various iterations and becomes a shared cultural experience. In this book, Limor Shifman investigates Internet memes and what they tell us about digital culture. Shifman discusses a series of well-known Internet memes—including “Leave Britney Alone,” the pepper-spraying cop, LOLCats, Scumbag Steve, and Occupy Wall Street's “We Are the 99 Percent.” She offers a novel definition of Internet memes: digital content units with common characteristics, created with awareness of each other, and circulated, imitated, and transformed via the Internet by many users. She differentiates memes from virals; analyzes what makes memes and virals successful; describes popular meme genres; discusses memes as new modes of political participation in democratic and nondemocratic regimes; and examines memes as agents of globalization. Memes, Shifman argues, encapsulate some of the most fundamental aspects of the Internet in general and of the participatory Web 2.0 culture in particular. Internet memes may be entertaining, but in this book Limor Shifman makes a compelling argument for taking them seriously. |

À travers ce guide de 630 pages, richement illustré d’images et proposant pas moins de 40 vidéos environ, découvrez toutes les nouvelles fonctionnalités d’iOS 13 pour votre iPhone ou iPad (mise à jour avec iOS 13.4 incluse). Vous venez de faire l’acquisition d’un nouvel iPhone, d’un nouvel iPad, ou vous avez simplement effectué la mise à jour du système et vous souhaiteriez en apprendre davantage sur les nouveautés d’iOS ? Ce livre est fait pour vous. Dans cet ouvrage, nous parlerons indifféremment d’iOS et d’iPadOS, le nouveau système pour les tablettes de la marque. En effet, pour le moment, ces deux systèmes sont quasiment identiques. Leur évolution et leur spécificité se feront peut-être remarquer dans quelques années. La plupart des améliorations et nouveautés d’iOS 13 se retrouvent dans iPadOS 13. Cependant, certaines sont dédiées à optimiser et rendre plus confortable l’utilisation d’un iPad. En effet, la taille de son écran lui permet des fonctionnalités qui ne sont pas absolument nécessaires sur l’iPhone. Une partie de ce livre est donc plus axée sur les nouvelles fonctions pour la tablette. Par exemple, nous abordons chaque application dans un seul chapitre. Néanmoins, les nouveautés sont abordées sous l’angle de la tablette pour les fonctions qui lui sont propres comme l’agencement des fenêtres ou sous celui du téléphone si cela le concerne directement. C’est notamment le cas avec les améliorations apportées pour lutter contre le démarchage téléphonique. Cette nouvelle mise à jour est réellement majeure. Vous constaterez par vous-même le nombre d’améliorations et de nouveautés dans notre récapitulatif des nouveautés iOS 13 (mise à jour avec iOS 13.4 incluse). Nous avons pris grand soin de faire le tour des nouveautés et améliorations apportées par cette nouvelle version depuis les premières versions bêta. Cependant, ce guide n’est pas exhaustif. C’est pourquoi nous l’enrichirons au fur et à mesure de l’évolution d’iOS 13 par des mises à jour afin que vous possédiez un outil le plus complet possible. Incluses dans cette mise à jour, 10 astuces en vidéo en bonus ainsi que les nouveautés de la version iOS 13.4. |
