The splitscreen implementation is completely different from windowed operating systems. I think every single person on hackernews is at least vaguely aware of the history of computing.

The attempts to resolve cognitive dissonance by fanboys is a sight to behold. I'm not sure why people can't say "I prefer Apple, but iOS 9's split screen multitasking implementation is the same as Microsoft's from y

Nice article, but the whole thing can be summed up by "read Blue Ocean Strategy".

By what metrics is it a failure? Because when I last looked at Microsoft's financial statements, their revenue was up due to the Surface (Profit was down for unrelated reasons). I'm assuming you haven't used a Surface Pro but

Windows 8.1 is amazing on the Surface Pro. W10 is a major step back for me. It's also the perfect form factor for reading graphic novels, although it's easier holding an iPad Air for extended periods.

You may be able to run two apps side by side on the iPad now, but you wont be able to instantly alt/cmd+tab between the fully capable PC versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Chrome running 50 tabs, 500 page Word document, whi

The SP3 is thicker by 2mm and is smaller on the other axes, and is 70g heavier. That's clunky?

If Apple had made the Surface Pro (which hasn't existed for very long) before Microsoft then it would have been the next in that line of major innovations. They didn't, because of a lack of foresight, but the opportunity to create

Agh same here. First my mother's mother did it when I was a child, then my own mother, and now I'm at it. I've often wondered if there's a learned-behaviour aspect to it, because I've been anticipating it happening

I could be totally wrong but, I'm pretty sure that that's just a normal aspect of aging. Every single person I know has experienced some level of cognitive decline with age. The name thing is especially common, I find. So I woul

You should look up the financial statements for one of your local colleges and see if it can't be run like a business. Just one of them costs a lot of money to keep going.. That's why they have to protect IP and commercialise it

This creeps me out for several reasons. One, we don't know why they're targeting certain people. It could be based on their search term, it could be based on their search history. It's a little coincidental that this guy happ

Eh how do you incentivise the creation of this knowledge given that it costs money to do?
767.
by anjc 11y ago
Quick off the mark eh? When was this idea published by those researchers, two days ago? No wonder universities are getting super serious about IP protection/licensing/commercialisation

Yeah it seems to be aimed at teens, but this is so far beyond most excellent high school students. They're dropping in terms and concepts which you don't touch on until the final years in an undergrad, with a focus on graphics.

It's odd that people in the comments seem to think this is for kids. It surely isn't intended to be for children, right? Great lessons.

Uh, you're now using the word 'internship' when your ad specifically used the word 'apprenticeship'. And the HN submission is "Apprenticeships, not internships". If you have requirements for your role, the

Apprenticeship? Any role I looked at there had significant requirements. "Must have intermediate knowledge of Swift" etc etc. That's not how apprenticeships work. If anything, this is a far worse version of an internship give

Great great list. It feels so good remembering all of these. I can't believe Jack the Nipper 2 isn't on your list though. Excellent graphics, great theme, great gameplay.

Eh maybe somebody can explain for me. This is surely just some aberration of using enterprise value as a metric for company health, while ignoring other important metrics, right? Like the 'value' of the company, as described here,

Ah apologies. Not only do I agree with you, but what you're saying IS what 'diversity' is meant to represent.
779.
by anjc 12y ago
That's a limited view of what diversity means, and doesn't jive with full interpretations of it by researchers in the area of organisational behaviour, which would include ethnicity, culture, modes of learning, level of education,

Diversity? Presumably you're also interested in hiring other nationalities, people who were trained in different fields, people who are coming from different functional areas, people who fit within various other of Belbin's team r
