My reaction to this is similar to this one: http://norvig.com/21-days.html (Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years) I've been exercising regularly for a long time and know pretty well what my "equilibrium"

> reading books and writing papers. So you'd argue that football is an intellectual pursuit in the same sense that math, physics, philosophy, or history is? That study of the nuts and bolts of the game is worthy of the attention of

The GPA requirement is incidental. It happens to be the barrier to playing ball. There is a straightforward economic incentive (money) for both the school and the athletes to practice more and win more, and it plainly has nothing to do wit

I suspect the answer has something to do with web design. weather.com has got swarms of designers being paid to make people click on things while weather.gov will only appeal to folks who eschew such things.

I also prefer their website on desktop, but it is perpetually annoying to me that you have to pay a yearly subscription to make ads go away in their Android app. To WU: I will pay whatever you want, just make it one-time.

Rebranding Gmail is a bold move for Google. I have to imagine that this is the culmination of years of strategic planning and some critical mass or convergence of mobile & desktop computing. I just hope that it remains possible to ke

Shouldn't this line of work be some sort of grand meritocracy? Or at least be striving for such a thing? Shouldn't age be 100% irrelevant? But of course it isn't purely a meritocracy, because social factors matter, too. And

The only scenario where the number of pages has any meaning is when the book is meant to be read cover to cover. Otherwise, as is typically the case with dev books, it's really meant as a reference. It seems to me that the page count

But why?? The point is that I would never choose to do development on a smallish device. In fact, I would always choose the largest, most powerful device available! Multiple screens, speakers, lots of ports, power, etc. Maybe there is a m

I agree with you, but the folks who made this app clearly don't. The fact that these devs put so much time and energy into making something that I cannot imagine wanting to use for the reasons you describe makes me think that I have a

Let us reclaim the timeline from Apple and stop caring about their leaks. The cloak and dagger routine seems laughably archaic to me, and they've only been doing it for a few years now.

How little actual information is contained in this "leak". "The Air 2 and Mini 3 exist. With TouchID. They remain physically unchanged."

I don't see the connection with SUVs. They aren't impractical in the same way. For example, for many people (men and women alike), a device above a certain size cannot be carried hands-free. This is a fact. For me, this would

I see an important question looming on the 5-year horizon: how are people going to be carrying these large devices? Clearly carrying large phones in pockets is impossible for many, increasingly impractical for many more, and simply undesi
