Speaking is not about information transmission. Speaking is to make people do something. For example, Steve Jobs keynotes made you go to the Apple Online Store and preorder the latest products; Bret Victor in his "Inventing on Principle" ta

The author argues that high-density displays are a problem, because you have to download roughly twice as big pixel-images for apps and websites. Use vector images instead! Pixel logos are necessary for small resolutions, but 300dpi are goo

There are different levels of "open sourcing": 1. dump the code into a zip and release it under a free licence 2. step 1 + answer to emails 3a. step 2 + provide a hangout for interested developers 3b. step 2 + actively work on the code base

Last time i looked the Python bytecode was not considered stable. This means, Python devs might change syntax and semantics in minor version changes. This would be a major problem for clojure-py.

What will replace Wikipedia? Something which generates that data automatically from the "citations". I imagine Wolfram Alpha, Freebase, DBpedia, Cyc, TrueKnowledge and more all channeled into a single interface.

I wonder why people are so impressed by the compile times. Why it is fast, is obvious: 1. Do not use #include (especially in combination with C++ template instantiation) 2. Do not use a heavily optimizing compiler backend The first point is

Looking the assembly I see two things: (1) no name mangling. So either this was lost in the decompilation/deciphering phase by the Kaspersky guys or mysterious language does not support method overloading. (2) the assembly looks reasonably

Yes, I also have the zig-zag in mind. However, as a point, the lion will never catch him. The lion has to move further to the side than the tamer, so the tamer switches directions after each "step". This works, because within a circle the t
