If not for Google's recent spate of scraping people's stuff and publishing it verbatim with zero attribution, they'd get the benefit of the doubt regarding maliciousness. See genius.com's recent accusations The smell lik

They could, should and can be high quality. Which is why there is such outrage when developers show one thing and deliver an early beta build for $80.

Doom 2016 was only dark enough to be atmospheric. Important things like incoming fire are bright and loud. The muted backgrounds and bright targets are needed though. Unlike Doom 3, Doom 4 and now 5 are so fast paced you'd have a bad t

I think it's equivalent to having books open to a page and set to the side of a work area. Whereas a browser bookmark is like it's analog cousin, a mark stuck in the book and returned to the shelf. Tabs allow for better singular f

Ah yes, legislation from a "helpful government" which will ultimately drive companies which depend on quasi-contractors to develop their robot replacements at an accelerated rate. Classic political short-sightedness.

A lot of companies think they need machine learning because the management consultants tell them they do (and hey, we can set it up for you!). And those that are "doing machine learning", often aren't doing it very well and h
