It's such a shame to see this go away. I really found the idea of carrying around a desktop OS in your pocket really fascinating.

I went to NYU, and I disagree. I am not from a rich family. No one in my family earned a college degree before me and they immigrated to the States with little to nothing. They were smart enough to start saving early for my education so I w

I've been using the hybrid native/web approach to circumvent the downloads as well. I didn't go so far as push actual UI a la HTML to load in a webview, but I made dynamic native UIs that changed according to certain response

That's very true. Though, given the volume of apps and the frequency of updates, I doubt it creates nearly as big of a battery suck than constant background running apps do (I'm looking at you Facebook). Another point is that unle

I have to agree. I was pleasantly surprised by the UI changes for iOS 7, as I think the developers at WWDC were as well (a standing ovation, no less - even from fanboys)

I realize that a lot of people will be focusing on the UI redesign for iOS 7, but the standout thing for me was automatic updates from the App Store. I think it's a huge thing for developers. One of the biggest pains I think we face as

OP here - so the experience may not just be about actually being on websites. The kinds of social technologies I'd like to see probably serve as more of a supporting foundation for social interaction IRL than an experience that lives on the

I used to be a teaching fellow at NYU for iOS programming - what OP says about teaching to learn is absolutely true. I don't think I'd be nearly as skilled or knowledgable about Objective-C, Cocoa, APIs, or mobile development generally if I

I'm certainly aware of ISO 8601 - in fact, what I'm proposing is a more developer-friendly version of it that is conducive to (what should be) standard manipulations on points, intervals, recurrences, and series of recurrences of time. When

OP here. You're right - what I'm proposing is not directly human readable, but I don't think that means the use of SLOPE is delegated for extraordinary or scientific use cases alone. I am certainly thinking about it as a way between differe

For those of you interested in learning more, look up these terms (I studied philosophy related to Complex Systems, and zombies were a central question in my thesis): John Searle's Chinese Room, Turing Test, physicalism, Conway's Game of Li

It is. A lot of what metaphysics is concerned with now has a lot to do with AI. You can think of zombies as the analog to robots (as is canonical with most AI questions). Robots are essentially philosophical zombies, should we get them to a

I like Cube - it's extremely useful for deriving interesting information once you have the "events" that they're talking about (something similar to what I have here). What I'm trying to do here with SLOPE is something much more basic thoug

I'm the front end technical lead for a major department in a top 10 U.S. State (that's all I can say). As much as I love the way that certain public sector entities are embracing modern design principles for their sites, there is a balance

Using GitHub as a first-level defense against spammers is genius. I'd like to see it used for other things too (registration for hackathons, etc.) Any alternatives considered?
