I didn't see this reply for 3 days so the conversation is probably over, but I think they never actually showed AR promos for the Glass (not at all like Hololens for example). The nerds being excited about it seemed to be excited for A

Google Glass never attempted augmented reality though right? And if it did, it would really need a camera to do it. I'm not sure there is much left after you take away the features you call "privacy invading"

I don't have cookies disabled but I do have adblock and I get the paywall, but if I open it in an incognito window it shows so I'm guessing its also triggered by ABP (or some other condition).

You say that as fact but you must know it is a matter of opinion: I would say you should match the language idioms. For example, Python iterators and generators work by raising/throwing when there are no more items: it is fully expecte

What do you think of Hackeysack? It seems to have all of the characteristics of the "no point anymore without a winner" but people still don't use their hands, they still socialize and have fun and have a (reasonable) thrill

I just meant to point out that if broad usage actually implies worse average code, then the same thing would happen if rust "wins". You can't use it as an argument for what should win since "has won" will always lea

I would be careful about what you generalize from "experts in both generally prefer rust", as there is likely a survivor bias in there. Since C++ has been around much longer the situation is likely "many C++ experts try Rust,

The point is that both are low, I would accept the second metric and I don't think it shows what you seen to claim it does. If you take all the applications submitted, income would be positively correlated with acceptance even though i

Do you think that it how most people search? (I'm not being sarcastic, I doubt they do but I obviously don't know)

sjburt said they are less accessible to poor students, which I was defending as true.

And yet the median income of the students parents at ivy league is something like $125k while the median income in America is more like $50k right?

If Hillary (or Trump) say things so despicable that could reasonably get you fired if you weren't repeating a presidential candidate, then we should despise anyone who repeats those words or explicitly supports those words. I'm no

My latter point was that widespread title inflation has the property that if you "defect" and don't have title inflation it has an actual negative effect on your future employment since it is nearly impossible for a random ob

I don't understand what the advantage is to have a lower title in your examples though: if you were CTO and someone gets inserted above you then your choices for your resume in your two scenarios are (CTO, then Director) or (only CTO,

There are some advantages to being over provisioned though: it is more resilient to disruption and downturns for one.

Not that it justifies anything but that is probably a significant overestimate, Steam takes 30% and most people didn't pay full price for the game.

I'm pretty sure uber doesn't do any of that locations or traffic routing stuff you mentioned. When I take uber the driver just has their favorite app if Waze, Google or Apple Maps for the actual routing or directions.

It is situationally true in the US. Inner city people generally have less access to cheap produce. People who have cars and access to the capability to buy in bulk at places like BJs or Sams also have access to cheaper food, so perversely t

I'm curious how a company ends up with 10 git repositories per microservice, and 4 repositories per engineer?

Except with digital content you must make a copy of it to transfer it as your sale. For that matter, you must make a copy (in some cases several copies) in memory simply to play it. Without any right to copy you have no rights at all. Luck

This actually matches what seems to be the prevailing attitude in the US. There's a lot of hate for Monsanto (extending all the way to conspiracy theories) but I don't hear Bayer especially called out as evil (at least compared wi

I play hearthstone quite a lot and what you are saying is absolutely not true. I'm guessing what you are talking about is that the game let's you play ahead while animations are still running, but the actual effects and results ar

I didn't mean to say that I disagreed with your conclusion about level design mattering a ton, I was just commenting on nomenclature and how it seems to be coming up with this. Most people seem to call Rayman Jungle Run an infinite run

I've noticed that both here and on reddit there's a vocal population that is really upset that this is being called an "infinite runner" because if the non-procedural and therefore not infinite nature. It feels kind of l

Rails at least used to do this when reading back from a database (eg if you had a nullable string field it would come back as nil if it happened to be the literal "nil") Edit: IIRC there was a directive that would prevent the beha

What you are describing is no different than modern Java where variables are marked @Nullable and its a compiler or linter error to dereference it without being inside a null-check conditional. If you don't use this in Java it is just

I think it would register no recognition to the majority of American English speakers. It is a French loan word used essentially only in open source contexts because we don't have an equivilent ("free" is way more ambiguous i

Twitch already actively complies with publishers on this, and does things like blocking games before the street release date. If the publisher doesn't want their game on twitch it isn't there: but the reverse tends to happen (publ

It's by design because the vast majority of people don't care about that information and it makes the website worse for them to have a big ToS banner at the top of your page. I don't think many websites have a secret ToS that
