Those guys can be amazing game QAs if they make the leap to trying to make a good game great by trying to find all the weird corner cases that can ruin someone's experience of the game. As one described it to me, he's trying to pr

Ther Connection Machine was able to handle arbitrary n-processors-to-n-processors "sends" in (log2 n) time, but only by interconnecting the processors in a (log2 n)-dimensional hypercube. That's a lot of interconnects...

One of the reasons I'm glad I moved from the States to Canada. It's remarkable how once you get used to the idea of a year of parent leave (partly shareable between mother and father), business adjusts to it like any other constra

Seeing as this piece recasts the removal of the headphone jack as a chapter in a cyberpunk dystopian narrative, surely you can form a scrappy band of resistance fighters that will smash the tyrant through some sort of Bluetooth signal.

At Carnegie Mellon, the learning AI crowd was with James McClelland in the psychology department, not the CS department. The shadow of Minsky and Papert over machine learning with neural networks was quite long.

I find it amusing that people in the US have been willing to extend copyright from the original 28 years to 100 years, and in most cases to give no moral rights to the artists involved in the creation of the work. And this is the framework

Exactly. I don't think you can talk about rent control in California without acknowledging property tax control. In the long term, this reduces landlords' expenses, which is a savings they ought to be able to pass on to their re
