Developers control what goes in front of the user and where, we'll still be able to tell plenty about a user's decision making process given that and how their head and hands navigate the space. There are plenty of companies that

This is pretty much exactly why I vehemently disagree with Apple's decision to draw such a firm line in the sand preventing devs from accessing the eye/gaze data directly. I'm part of an academic spin-off start-up that specia

Locking the away the eye data is a big miss for me. With the hololens we were able to get interesting visual confirmation that what you were looking at was indeed focused prior to selecting objects using an air tap. This also limits enterpr

I challenged Sutton's reinforcement learning course this term (in spite lacking the appropriate pre-requisites) and, while my grasp of some of the mathematical theory was indeed lacking, some pretty foundational messaging really penet

Anyone else get tripped up by being able to place bunnies and the dog on the same space? Instinctively I expected that to trigger a failure state.

What a needlessly divisive, inaccurate, and frankly disgusting characterization. The literally definition reads: "Indigenous or less commonly indigenous : of or relating to the earliest known inhabitants of a place and especially of a

> While the racist violence that happened was deplorable, it is entirely amusing to me that we are fine with calling it UK/Brazil/South African/Indian variant but not call it the China virus/flu. Why is this amusing?

I know a number of engineers/staff that worked/work at Jobber and they all say great things. They're also very supportive of the local start-up scene. Highly recommend.

This would allow TransPod to develop the longest hyperloop test track in Canada to my knowledge. I'm surprised to see this level of interest by the Alberta government on tech that is very much unproven.

In my experience it's more the latter. Not only is it simpler (no need to maintain parallel ui implementations, easier to update, speed-up implementation time) to use a framework that "optimizes" layout for all devices, but i

This period of Trump benefiting off unfettered, direct access to the public, and Twitter benefiting off of greater clout through hosting the president is most definitely coming to a conclusion.

Bit of an interesting inside perspective on an industry often said to soon be victim to AI/ML advances. Not sure if the intent behind this is to placate current professionals or attract new ones, but in any case the author seems to mis

This is actually a really clever project, not sure why this is the first time I'm seeing something like this.

I like the apple video more. The music pairing and faster cuts made for a more frenetic experience that is extremely effective at building hype.

For the record, you don't need to use Typescript for Angular 2, you can just use regular JS (or Dart for that matter). The documentation is definitely biased toward Typescript at the moment, but I anticipate the situation improving as

Casey Neistat made a fun little video[1] that explores this a bit. Without spoilers, it was a bit surprising just how off some of the food is. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE2lna5Wxuo
