Much the same situation in the UK - left and right are remarkably quiet on the issue. Any political party that has held the reins for a term or two has ridden close enough to the devil to know the deal they must make.

Sensationalism aside, this kind of work culture makes for pretty grim reading. "One intern, who worked at one of the American “bulge-bracket” firms, memorably described the experience of working all night only to start the new day an h

If that's all the docs they have, they might have a long way to go. FBX is a pretty huge spec. I find it hard enough understanding the SDK docs.

It seems to be pretty heavy on object allocation, eg: BABYLON.Vector3.prototype.add = function (otherVector) { return new BABYLON.Vector3(this.x + otherVector.x, this.y + otherVector.y, this.z + otherVector.z); }; I do a

If you're interested in consciousness, I recommend reading some of Antonio Damasio's books. I really enjoyed "The Feeling of What Happens". He has some fascinating theories on the machinery of (brain-originated) consciou

I remember an aside in a neuroscience textbook which asked if, one day, a mystery like "where consciousness comes from" might seem as oddly posed as "where life comes from". Once you've broken "life" into

Same thing happened to me. I couldn't even look up reviews of pubs. The funny thing is, mobile porn is a killer app for 3G/4G operators, having the potential to consume so much billable data.

Fantastic news. I've used Web Audio under Chrome for a couple of experimental projects now, and it really is a fun API to work with.

Soho pretty much is both at once. Expensive cocktail bars next to old men's pubs, fancy restaurants next to fish & chip shops, exclusive members' clubs next to dirty downstairs speakeasies.

Maybe this is the crux of the issue. The labels would like to shut down the competition and control the channel as did before. It would explain the PR blitz.

One explanation is a coordinated call for transparency. The last paragraph certainly has greater weight when sung in chorus. If you look at the releases of the EFF and Google over the last 48 hours there seems to be a growing plea for this.

Pixar have a lot of technology, but they come from an animation tradition rather than a studio that is concerned with photoreal CGI. Renderman has always been a system for "painting" the scene you want - it's an artist's toolbox. It's only

I'm no expert in either physics or cog neuroscience, but it sounds similar by name to the Free Energy Principle of brain function. http://neuroticthought.tumblr.com/post/9044776197/is-this-a-...

As I let the words roll of my tongue, "acting offended" sounds just awful doesn't it? Only a Machiavelli would admit to acting offended to achieve their aims! "Getting offended" needs to be seen to be from the heart - as if you really had b

You're right. But it must be pretty terrifying to be caught in a flash-fire internet shitstorm like this - reputation concerns to weigh up on the one hand, and operational concerns on the other.

I love the simplicity. At the risk of adding complexity, there's this Chrome extension I used to love and use all the time called JoinTabs, that unfortunately started shipping with some nasty malware. It did this very simple thing of collec

It does feel to me to be one of the cognitive routes into a depressive state. A cluster of problems can overwhelm thinking and mood to such a deep level that it descends beyond reasoning. It's "analysis paralysis" that has worked its way de

The JavaScript msgpack codec is a couple of years old now, by the looks of the github repository. I see a custom base64 function, and no use of typed arrays. I wonder if these numbers might change a little given more modern features like ty

I used to find that Ryanair had a tendency to lowball the aggregators, and then whack on ridiculous extra charges at the end of a tedious and lengthy purchase process. Have they stopped doing that now?

A therapist can just be someone non-judgemental to talk to, most importantly one not tainted with any particular ties - be they familial, business or whatever. It's amazing how much you can get out of the simple act of talking through your
