Indeed it does. If not, how then can you, "recall" the names of your family upon seeing their faces? You've stored a representation of each face, you've stored their names, and you retrieve that information to maintain t

My brain is not a silicon-based processing unit with a von Neumann architecture. My brain, however, calculates, computes, stores, retrieves... It's a computer more advanced by evolution than we've built through our understanding o

The term "protocol" is held over from Obj-C. I guess because in Obj-C, the declaration of a class is wrapped in @interface...@end (the implementation is inside @implementation...@end) And it's annoying to have to explain this

Have you seen mathematicians write code? For a website? We hired a few (we're in the crypto business) and we don't let them near production code. Ever.

Did you actually mean 'redundant'? If so, you first said 'white male' has no meaning. For it to be redundant in the 'white male and privileged' then it must also mean 'privileged.' I certainly agree o

I swear I thought the presenters at that last media event actually called it "iPad Pro mini." I don't see any references to that on Apple's site so I guess I'll have to rewatch to address my sanity.

Well, that's if Apple does the rounding. It'd be us, the plebeians, doing the rounding. No lawsuits over that.

The author does say the article is about branding rather than hardware. That said, I'd fully expect the current Air devices (even if renamed) to remain in the lineup for quite some time yet. Although the iPad Air and the 10" iPa
