It's a shame there is nothing much about animation. The rest is pretty much the simplest possible approach you could take, and nothing special at all... but the animation seems genuinely interesting.

Always always measure. Better than guessing based on wrong or old information

i'm a little skeptical this is the right approach... everytime i've encountered a problem that someone couldn't resolve with apple over the phone, i've managed to resolve it by phoning them. i wonder how much effort the

if this one doesn't turn itself on when its in my pocket, and doesn't start phoning random people without any speech like noises happening, i can see this being slightly less of a gimmick than siri... :P kudos to these guys though

i would say that i think recent windows 8/10 are considerably worse than OS X - they approach iOS levels of undiscoverability. maybe i am overstating it a bit - maybe unforgivable sounds really bad, but what i find it hard to believe t

I don't know, iOS was doing a lot of these things before Windows 8 was even in the earliest of pre-release states. Sure the flat UI thing could be argued to have inspired some of Apple's later work... but I think the lack of disco

i don't understand how apple have a reputation for good ui... all of their stuff is terrible. the main problem: zero discoverablity - i need to google how to do things, then get some snotty fanboy answer about how easy and obvious it i

i am not surprised at all. a lot of this new fancy food type stuff is a scam... in most cases selling inferior products and scams at higher prices. "organic" means "not made with the benefit of modern developments in agricult

what bugs me about the startup community is how things like raising 10M in funding or exiting by IPO are considered success. neither of those things have anything to do with building or running a successful business. they are not even desir

When i get home I'm going to interrogate your code to find the bug in mine... I hope. Although the data source I had was much bigger than 6GB :P I don't know if many existing ray tracers, but if you want to build one give me a sho

i'd say its often too wooly to even call a single data point, but in other cases its obviously very many. if 1000s of people are telling the same story, thats 1000s of potential data points... they lose value from being ill defined rat

having been working with various astronomical data for years now there are a lot of good sources out there. some of my favourites: https://pds.nasa.gov/ - planetary data service has a lot of data collected from space missio

anecdotal evidence is evidence, its just not of a good quality. a lot of things rely on it for their justification. the best example i think i can give in the context of wanky hipster startups would be "agile methodologies"... des

i think there are studies on the much broader range of phenomena associated with meditation in general. its hard to find good examples of such things quickly with google though because there are a large number of poor quality studies too...

quite interesting, but its a bit confused... and its not exactly a revelation that processes involving molecules or particles are best explained by quantum effects. this is precisely where quantum physics came from - trying to explain these

from what i understood it only gets rid of those requirements in some cases.... there is a table i remember in some doc about this, the only reason i listed from memory was the lack of being able to find it quickly on google .. its a shame

you would think 101 would tell you what the hell a mcmansion is, instead of me needing to google it to find out half way through what is otherwise an interesting article.

i'm not sure the problem is the careless messages - its the bad behaviour that is 'let slip' i know its not exactly the point of the article, but the way i deal with my frustration over this is by doing whatever i can wheneve

are you sure? i think in your cosmic ray example, you get well defined behaviour producing unexpected results - its a subtle distinction, but that's part of why UB is horrible, its results can be even less reasonable than those of rand
