It's like a preview of when our highways will be full of self-driving cars - very cool. And I guess the next step is robots actually pulling the merchandise off of the shelves? Or maybe they'll just skip moving the shelves all tog

At first glance, this seems...really solid. Thanks!

I would think the downvoting is from your "UI looks terrible" comment rather than the possible bug you mention.

Stagnating how? Less fancy whiz-bang shiny maybe-novelty features to entertain the tech blogs and mainstream media? Since the iPhone arrived in 2007, phones in general have made incredible advances in mobile performance, networking/cel

Agreed. This article is a good example of #2 when they reference the cartoon that shows the developer using default bootstrap style. Being lazy with Bootstrap does not make Bootstrap itself a bad thing.

Posted this mostly because it's pretty impressive how nVidia has improved efficiency so much without a die shrink. I'm hoping for some big leaps when 20nm (or lower) becomes a reality for GPU vendors.

I agree with the initial impression of a "big rectangular clunky thing", but thankfully the smaller version of the Apple Watch looks more reasonable. That along with the what-seem-like-great strap choices might make it a bit more

And so you don't have to skip through it yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRLy0QQI6xU&feature=youtu.be... Edit: Oh man, he sure doesn't hold back on the technical lingo.

No evidence of course, but I'm going to think most people will say his knowledge of hardware (and his connections).

The most interesting thing about this is that it's being held at a different venue this year, and apparently one that has historical significance. Per MacRumors: > Performing Arts at De Anza College in Cupertino, the same location w

Agreed. Combine that with the Oculus DK2 getting almost universal acclaim from users, with a very small subset of software thus far that supports the new SDK and positional tracking, and this seems like it'll be a very big deal.

That is impressive if true. Does he also figure out how to read the WAD files himself too for level geometry and textures? I just find it hard to believe he isn't referencing the original source at all...

So how does his process work? Does he start with the original C engine source and start porting to Dart? Does he do some of the work beforehand?

I wonder if in the plans for Swift they have some sort of "surpass C performance in all benchmarks" goal. That would be pretty impressive.

First thought: "This is a Gamespot article?" Seems like something you'd see at Anandtech.

Can anyone explain the reasoning behind this difference? The article only mentions "In Objective-C, NSArray and NSNumber are used intentionally as the counterparts to Swift's Array and Int."

This does not make sense to me: > BitcoinJS 1.0 Released! ...further down the page... > Documentation: Soon!

Weird, no pay wall for me. I had ad-block installed in Chrome, so I'm not sure if that is doing something.

Agreed - after a restore usually an iPhone will get unusually warm, I assume because it's doing this indexing and such. I don't recall if it happens after an in-place upgrade, though. I wonder if Apple will ever add some sort of i

Haha, was thinking the same thing. This would make a great xkcd.

I've been using Trello daily for over a year now to keep track of projects and tasks at work, and it has been great. While I sometimes freak out that Trello alone holds my work to-do list (instead of nice, safe paper and pen), I have y

You could attribute that to most things we observe as a society. Let us all reflect on the solitary anecdotes that fuel many technology arguments, especially iOS vs Android in recent years. "All of my friends says iOS sucks and have mo

Make your fantasy a (simulated) reality. With current trends you'd probably be best served by creating "win32js".

This title is way too vague. I know the domain clues you in a bit, but at first glance I was hoping for some nostalgic writing about the 386 and 486 architectures.

Isn't it more about thinking they'll enjoy making games rather than thinking they are good at making them? Games = fun so it must be fun to make them...I assume that's how the initial thinking goes.

Was thinking the same thing about the "painful" descriptor. I'm thinking it was just a joke...?
