If the last several iterations of the iPhone have had the same RAM, while being capable of running the newest version of iOS fine, wouldn't that suggest that iOS memory requirements haven't been rising significantly and that somet

This is a brilliantly conceived library. It does one thing well and even within that, decomposes into clear layers of abstraction. I've been using it at work and found the experience much nicer than the various high-level charting libs

Apple don't help by requiring App Store submissions to be compiled with a current version of Xcode, while removing compiler support for older ARM CPUs. Not suggesting that this is a deliberate ploy (it likely makes very little differen

I'm not familiar with Ionic. It describes itself as a framework for Hybrid apps, which sounds interesting, but all I can see described on the website is html and css. Anyone mind enlightening me on what that means here?

I for one can't wait to create circular references between objects that then stay alive together for ever and ever using the ❤❤❤ operator. More seriously, I wonder why user-defined operators are considered any worse than user-defined f

Looks great! Have been looking for a Slate replacement for a while... Have you considered adding Lua calls for accessing and modifying window contents, selections, etc? OS X has a rich collection of APIs for doing this via Scripting Bridge

The fact that there are apps with excessive motion seems like a great argument for better motion design.

I'm no Tor expert so please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't people trading child porn (etc) most likely be entirely within the onion network anyway and therefore have no need for an exit node?

I like the idea of adding a sample of new stories to the front. It would guarantee a number of extremely low quality submissions on the front though, which might affect the overall percieved quality of HN. It also might be a problem if simp

Comparable, I think. Definitely addictive. Less liver toxicity, but easier to overdose fatally (respiratory depression).

Nobody is claiming that all moral theories require agency. The point is that many do, so if there are no agents (as defined above), it means that we should reject moral theories that we might otherwise accept. That's a significant resu

Looks interesting. Curious about how much of an issue you find GC latency and how you're handling it. I tried something vaguely similar and it caused me a few problems with larger compositions.

> What the hell does the term "free will" even mean? Great question. You've more or less just articulated the philosophical problem of free will. Why do we care what the term 'free will' means? Mainly because the

Most philosophy journals wouldn't regard this paper as philosophical either. While nobody agrees exactly what the philosophical method is, being a priori is more or less required.

Meeting real-time guarantees pretty well isn't good enough for a DAW. Not without a lot of buffering (and therefore latency), anyway. The WebWorker proposal is interesting. If the worker has its own heap and realtime scheduling with a

I'm assuming that a full-fledged DAW cares a lot about latency. Live performance becomes difficult when latency creeps much above 5ms, for example. A lot of things that you normally don't think about (like when to allocate a buffe

Yes, and it works by mostly avoiding realtime DSP in javascript. It provides a high-level API for wiring together prebuilt audio processing nodes. Much like using browser animation APIs vs programatic animation. My point is about the feasib
