I would say that it is equivalent in concept, but it is more of a grammatical rule. For example, "football stadium" is written in two words in English. In German it _must_ be written as "Fußballstadien" -- making it look

I guess it depends on your definition of “a word”. I speak Danish and it shares a lot of concepts with German. Joining or concatenating two nouns or a noun and an adjective form “a new word”, but the meaning is of course based upon the two

As related by others, LTE has a less complicated backhaul network than the 3G networks (My experience is with WCDMA and WiMAX). Part of this is that 3G networks generally consist of several "servers" (in an as abstract sense as po

On the contrary, Susan Kare herself mentioned the Swedish origin as the source for inspiration[0] > So I said, "Let's try something abstract." So I was pouring through books of symbols, and I thought it was a sign on Swedi

It is, however, also ultimately wrong to state the brain is "just a muscle". In "Make it stick" they mention some research into this aspect: practice of a specific mental skill has little influence on other mental skills

It looked like Autodesk Inventor. It is a parametric CAD software like Creo or Solidworks. The parametric part is actually really neat. The lines are drawn and then certain constraints must be applied: These points must be coincident, these

I think I see your point better now. > It would be illogical, perhaps unethical even, for me to want more of that content while not supporting it in any way. So what do you suggest instead? Instead of paying upfront, should the content

Steve Yegge's rant on Google's and Amazon's platforms comes to mind: https://plus.google.com/112678702228711889851/posts/eVeouesv... I couldn't find the original, so this is a copy on Google+. It discusses the difference in how Google and

This kind of reminds me of the Danish Christmas calendar (a TV-show with an episode for each day in December until the 24th). In this show all characters were played by the same actor, Anders Matthesen[1], a Danish stand-up comedian, actor

I've noticed the same with many recent Apple releases. They have gone almost completely away from "Ships in x" and instead it's now almost always "Ships today". I'd like to see some data to confirm this however.

Facepunch, the forum mainly connected to the sandbox game Garry's mod, has had this for a long time. If you broke a rule you were banned to "Refugee Camp" for some amount of time. Only you, the moderators and gold users (paying or 5+ years

I take your point, it's not fair to say that a demo/example/app-in-development shouldn't be optimized for edge cases - no premature optimization and all that jazz. I'm HenrikEnggaard on Twitter, PM me your email and I'll send my thoughts (I

Most of the month (all but a few days) I've only got a 20 kbit/s connection. Let that sink in. Twenty. Kilobits. Per. Second. That's less than the voyager spacecraft (but probably a better ping). --- The front page of Hacker News is 27.75KB

I really wish he (Ian Lurie) spend more time giving examples of great information (/data) graphics and what strategies to take when designing such graphics. To me, this comes off as a mere complain. Lurie links to Mark (Mapstone?) who, also

It bothers me that the "quotes" are all whimsical, ha-ha jokes about some topic. They are punchlines, some even Low-Effort Content (Java is bad, Perl is unreadable.) The quote from Tony Hoare about the null reference was an honest and inter

There are many ways to slice and dice what learning and knowledge can be understood as. I'm no expert, but my daily work is in educating youth organisations (Scouting) and occasionally with training leaders for such organisations. I'm in th
