I know, but users without touchpad had zoom functionality (like ctrl+wheel or ctrl+scroll) for years. Don't get me wrong I like the zoomability of a calendar, it is an excellent way to visualise information.

I like the idea but semantically, this is confusing. If I want to scroll, it zooms in/out. Even that, it doesn't keep the focus making me wanting to really scroll. Now I'm really confused how to scroll. (I know how but I'

Elm is a great language for web. It's evolving but there are some bits that need some rework/improvement/rethought like the canvas performance and managing random number generation. This is difficult with purely functional ar

You are conflating 'evolution is directionless' with 'no stages'. Stages can only be seen when looking back at the evolutionary history. For example: Study reveals human body has gone through four stages of evolution ( h

What if cancer is the evolution in action. Evolution has to go through a huge number of permutations to get a viable macro organism. By trying to cure cancer, we are trying to withhold the natural selection in some form and preventing the

I think the article does a good job at explaining the major points. But what you have described in here can also be said about MLPs, nothing deep about them on their own. For example XOR function with MLP combines features to come up with m

No. In all supervised learning, the algorithm learns a model from the data and generalise it for unseen data. Better generalisation means better model. In unsupervised learning, (mostly clustering, density estimation etc) the same thing hap

To do increasingly fancy things with feed forward neural networks, we require increasingly many layers. But with many layers, it becomes increasingly difficult to train it (vanishing gradient, explosive growth of connections, etc). But Hint

This type of demonising one over the other is not proper science. Sugar (in various forms) carries the energy needed for the cells to operate well, brain being the highest consumer. Balanced nutrients would be the best bet for overall wellb

From the video they have on youtube, Arnold has over 200bpm and the kid at the end has a 0bpm. That's a pretty useless territory.

Trees take more carbon out in the growth phase. So we need fast growing trees, then cut them down and bury them and repeat until profit.

You misunderstood. People mostly write with C++ when performance is critical. Why? C++ offers deterministic memory management, Specialize to CPU instruction set and better use of CPU caches etc. Those performance benefits would not translat

I wonder what advantages choosing C++ to write web apps would bring. At the end of the day it's all JavaScript so performance is rather moot point.

Many of the founding fathers of modern science were religious. E.g. Isaac Newton, Max Plank etc.. This theory flies in the face of that empirical evidence. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_thinkers_in_s... )
