Just to be clear for everyone, the 'clear for takeoff' didn't come from Apple execs/devs. It's the author suggesting that now is a good time for the iWatch

It's not about your finger being in the way necessarily, it's about usability. Supppose I'm eating lunch. It would be nice to read an article with my phone in one hand and hold my sandwhich in the other. Or if I'm lying

Right now I'm doing 5/3/1. It works great once your linear gains start to fade. That being said, I feel beginners should do more of a starting strength or strong lifts program since there is so much room for growth and high r

That's true. I really needed to bulk so it worked for me (gained 30 pounds in about half a year). That being said, for those looking to control weight and do something more manageable I would definitely recommend McDonald's guide.

Here's a link to Starting Strength[1]. I highly recommend it for people looking to bulk, tone, and put on some real muscle. It did wonders for me and I'm sure it will for you too. I also recommend doing these powerlifting exercise

Related, I'm sure many people here know this, but it's super useful for those that don't. To undo any uncommitted work and go back to the original state of the branch use: 'git checkout .'

I really don't think there is a good answer for this that a lot of people use right now. It's definitely a project or startup waiting to happen.

I think with many founders being software engineers themselves, they naturally steer away from manual solutions (and usually with good reason). But some problems, such as those faces by Uber and 42Floors, simply need manual solutions. That&

It actually looks pretty interesting and potentially fun. Only criticism would be to improve the site design and functionality. It could use a cleaner look and a more fun atmosphere.

It is very surprising that distributions such as Fibonacci and the powers of two follow this law. Some number sequences that don't are numbers like pi and e. These numbers are said to be normal numbers, meaning they have an equal distr

I wonder if the price will ever become so low and diamonds so common for consumers that the 'diamond ring engagement' trend starts to disappear.

It's completely true. The most valuable part of my CS education has been the general design and problem solving skills. The ability to modularize problems and solve them incrementally, as well as implement correct and efficient solutio

So true. Bad API's can be a programmers greatest nightmare. On a very related note, often installing and setting up SDK's can be a huge pain too. Facebook has an entire longwinded guide to just install their SDK... This whole proc

On a related note, I've noticed I actually never use the actual back button anymore via click or keyboard. Instead I do Chrome's two-finger back swipe on my Mac trackpad. It's the easiest motion to use since my fingers are al

Interesting article. Although to say this is for 'Tech Companies' is a bit off. A lot of the schools on that list are likely only on there due to geographic location (Bay Area or greater California area). There are plenty of Midwe

While I do see this being an excellent acquisition for YouTube if true, I do agree. I don't see how YouTube could reconcile it's copyright stance with how Twitch fundamentally works.

I could certainly see this happening... It makes sense given Square's rough time with going public.[1] That being said, I'm surprised Square would jump on this so soon and not wait longer.. (Much like Andreessen suggests).[2] If a

The difference is that the equation is actually correct for y=2. It doesn't apply for y=4 because it only converges in the range e^-1 < y < e.
