I was planning to reply to your parent comment that discoverability has always been an issue for me when I work with Apple devices. Whenever I use my wife's iPhone or Mac for a couple of minutes, I get frustrated because everything is

Yep, that was my feeling as well. Same for Chinese / Dutch. At first I tried suggesting some names that matched but none of them really stuck for me and my wife. In the end we picked an original Dutch name. Which could be easily pronou

Typical article of the sort these days: 1) pretentious journalist wanting to link it to politics. Picks 2 or 3 "good" examples (like the MDH) to make their point 2) commentors on HN or elsewhere jumping on everything with a notion

Forgive my ignorance, but do you have any good references to multi-threaded cellular automata implementations? This is something I've been dabbling with myself.

The Vice article mentions the video was sent over Dropbox. I'd say the default Gnome videos app making a network request is also possible.

No, I was a heavy LiteStep user during its prime Windows XP days, but even then it was a brittle, badly developed and hard to set up thing. Development has stalled once Vista and 7 came along.

In my opinion, most of the issues leading about AI "failing" in traditional organizations are due to the following: (1) Inflated expectations from higher/middle management which trickle down the organization. AI is seen as a

This extension comes at a good time. Just a couple of weeks ago I was wondering how search would feel if you'd remove all news sites (mainstream and otherwise).

It holds a special place in my heart as well. In 2002, my parents gave me a book "Multitool Linux" [1] which wasn't a spectacularly well received one, containing a mix of wildly different topics, but this was exactly what I n

Very cool -- on a semi-unrelated tangent: I really hope SerenityOS takes off (contributors, supporters), as I've been itching to run some old-looking OS on newer hardware.

If I recall, those first Longhorn builds found a great middle ground between the foundations of XP and the few good parts of what would became Vista, including some nice ui concepts. Sadly, we all know how Vista turned out at the end.

I agree. The only thing I believe the article gets right however is that the naming doesn't expose this default behavior, which might cause problems for people coming from other software. Still, any good data scientist I know actually

I agree. We shouldn't blame the engineer but the managers asking for this in the first place and knowing they can get away with any sort of "small pressures" they put on their employees.

It's strange how many managers and project owners have asked me in the past whether to go for R or Python in their environment, as if the choice for a programming language will break or make your data science initiative. (Even more fun
