I think it wouldn't hurt to use actual stars and such in these games, if only to give people a sense of our astral "neighborhood". I don't know if it would make for good gameplay though.

When I used to play piano as a kid, this happened to me all the time. Sit me in front of the piano and I'll mindlessly bang out the song I've been practicing. Make me think about it in the middle and I'll forget what comes n

Personally I can never get behind any of these food startups, just because I find that they offer extremely little value. Sort of like grocery home-delivery, after awhile you realize the premium you're paying for something you can easi

The difference being that the compiler knows what sort of bit-twiddling it should be doing and what sort of bit-twiddling it should not be doing. I would not use this code without being very thoughtful and intentional about where it was bei

You could also do something like googlebombing. Have lots of people send each other the same question, and all of them reply with the same/similar response.

What's the value gained from using vTune vs xperf sampled profiling? I use xperf and friends a lot and find that they're pretty good, but if vTune offers something substantially better I wouldn't mind taking a look at it. Als

Maybe for some cases, but sometimes (IMO) a compiler is just not going to know. For example, if instead of hitting the network on initialization for some information we delay load that later (say, for example, the MOTD), a compiler is neve

I would honestly be surprised if this was the case, at least for the end customer. At best we'll see immediate drone delivery as an incremental surcharge or a value-add for a subscription service (Prime).

It's possible that the on-land shot was staged and taken pre-flight, or maybe it was a test run to show what the landing would look like. Alternately, hiking in with 20 angry beavers is probably a PITA.
