That's why when I read literature on how to hook users more, I always get very cynical by the usual footnote on ethics. Please don't pretend, the principle of addiction itself is an extremely grey area and for more vulnerable audi

Reading the thread, my impression is that no one thinks that tech is a Frankenstein. Most are calling for a more balanced use, especially for children. There is strong research showing how getting "sucked" into the internet can ha

I'm honestly disappointed that many commenters here are making a lot of judgment about Pao's intentions. It's like no one read the piece properly. Here, let me help you (and get your walls down!) --- Claim 1: She's over

Nice. I wonder though, will the randomly placed watermarks distract the legit viewer, and affect their judgment of the images? Example: When I go through Adobe stock photos, although I find the watermark initially annoying, I would quickly

And also the output png is sometimes unpredictable. I hate it when what's supposed to be flat-coloured in svg turns out to be this 'pixelated-swirl' in png. I also find minimising operations can reduce this effect.

The trick is to make sure the raster image is as clean as possible. But yeah I agree, this is not its best feature.

Fantastic interview, I relate to many of the things the engineers mentioned. I was also disappointed by the heat and rage from both sides, IMO this whole gender thing is not a debate, it's more like a cat fight that everyone gets hur

I was thinking about your post yesterday, thanks for it :) Sorry, I didn't clarify with what I meant by "visualising." When you think of an abstract entity, like a foreign word for example, you can sort of grasp what it means

I think the concept is awesome and I hope that my comment won't be taken as cynical: I get the dedication part but some people may have commitments that they can't avoid at all - childcare, for example. Having commitments shouldn&

Ah I forgot about the full week schedule (my post was also about your first question). I'm also curious about how the programme is structured on a typical day. For me personally, if there is a part time option (4 days a week even) this

What's the application criteria like? I notice that the current students listed in the website all have some sort of technical/reputable background (one even had an MS in Computer Science already!) Does this mean that the computer

It's funny, I have school-level French and only think in it when I get really angry. Or if I need to vent it all out, I write in French (with a pocket dictionary no less!) Who knows, it could be because I don't use expletives very

Computer, mostly hardware (so heavy on electronics rather than programming) Oh yes no doubt j is very useful - but that's what I meant by it being part of the Toolbox. To visualise it as an entity is something else though, and I kn

I recommend Ian Stewart's Letters to a Young Mathematician. He addresses your question (Platonism vs formalism) pretty succinctly, in my opinion as a noob. Accordingly "the working philosophy of most mathematicians is a mostly u

I was trained as an engineer and the abstract part of maths used to bug me a lot. We were often told to just accept them as they are, that just like everything else they add to your Toolbox. My biggest bugbear is imaginary numbers, can&#x27

The button pusher I think is a bad example. There are not many button pushers, for one, and secondly when we talk about the current industrial revolution, it's about machines replacing humans who are doing jobs with some skills . And

It's a damn shame. "Slower to adapt" is a weak excuse, youth is definitely a large part of startup culture. But imagine all that wealth of experience and wisdom that you potentially miss!

Design is also about self-expression of the designer, and solving problems by way of manufacturing experiences. Sometimes the two conflict at the cost of the other though.

I adore UX brutalism. It's a weird paradox that I enjoy design, but at the same time feel that MOST (caps necessary here) of them are actually faff and pretentious. I keep coming back to brutalist style, as the one I feel the least unc

Someone here mentioned that women are being pressured to join STEM, and that this is "evil." A bit strong but I agree that this may backfire on us. Who doesn't want a more open environment where everyone can feel comfortable

This is great! My smaller siblings say the wittiest things (often without realising) that brighten my day, I often wonder if there's a platform to 'record' them. I hope that your project will eventually turn into that!

Absolutely agree. My profession is more creative and most of my eurekas happen when I'm doing mundane house chores. Something about the mind wandering about I suppose. I don't think it's a coincidence either that some of our

Not all Europeans. Personally I think the French left is generally more right than the British and American left. The Swedish left is regarded by everyone else as utter madness. See how the media covered their refugee policy a few years ago
