that has an implicit assumption that apple music on android is a nice app. spoiler: it isn't. it hardly works. it will often sputter and think and try to play a song, as if there is a bad internet connection, EVEN when i have the song

i haven't read the book yet, but it has been on my list. do you think that it's useful as something to shoot for? say everything in the book isn't truthful in reference to actual pixar conditions, but is it useful as an &quot

orcas eating sharks is well known. if i am not mistaken, orca pods off of california and south africa are the main ones we know about. great whites have been observed to leave the area off of south africa when orcas roll in.

i am not arguing about orcas eating sharks being new behavior. i was just pointing out that one of the most intelligent species on the planet learning major new behavior is not breathtakingly unlikely.

orcas have very good eyesight, including out of the water. they often use a technique called spyhopping where they intentionally poke out of the water to see along the surface of the water for navigation, to see prey further away, or just t

orcas, with humans, are one of the most widely distributed mammals. they live nearly everywhere.

> Orcas discovering a major new behavior just when we happen to have the means of observing them seems breathtakingly unlikely. i wouldn't be so sure of that. of course just because we witness doing them something for the first time

there is a great documentary called the woman who swims with killer whales which documents dr. ingrid visser's research and rescue efforts of the new zealand orca population. her research has done a lot to showcase that the orcas are

i am firmly of the belief that this is possible and the right direction to go. i primarily use labview, which is arguably the best general purpose visual programming language. there is a lot of power in the visual approach, and i think it c

by nikofeyn 9y ago
i think that's a little off. there is no reason why visual programming cannot be version-able and comparable, and in some cases it is. labview has some facilities for this, however, i will concede they could be better. but there is no

i didn't even know who this guy was and still kind of don't. what makes these tech bloggers such a thing?
