I'm kind of surprised this list doesn't include Darren Aronofsky's "Pi". The film touches on a lot of interesting topics such as digit repetition in pi, financial market machine learning, fibonacci spirals and numbe

What's funny about this situation is that most of these designers have probably not even tried iOS 7 and they are already judging the design. All of this coming after Apple emphasized the fact that "design is how it works, not how

I use it for setting timers and alarms, but that's about it. For more advanced queries, I am always afraid that Siri will fail me and I will have to look it up on google myself, so I just do that first.

Not sure if I agree with the section about curly braces being vertically aligned. I have seen production code with both and it honestly comes down to personal preference. If you think about aligning the start of the function/if with the clo

People often associate Presidents' public images with how intelligent they are. People look at the videos of Bush making speech gaffes and assume he is a moron because he occasionally uses pseudo-english. What is weird about the presidentia

I've always thought that quantum theory provided some decent evidence for this. Instead of always computing every value for every result, the universe does so only when things are "observed", saving on computation.

Reminds me of when people caught bing stealing google's search results by indexing really long weird urls in google that had no incoming links.

Agreed, I think he fails to see past the idea that bitcoin has its own "gold standard" built in. The idea of a non-inflationary currency to PK is just silly. Perhaps he will change his mind once further adoption has taken place or when a ne

I think that collect-ability doesn't really have anything to do with this situation. This is a classic asset bubble, and people could really care less what the actual asset is.
