IO is the place to launch new products. It's just slightly more impressive than showing a message "And btw. we've lunched this new version of maps. Check it out (with the probability of 0.00053846)".

I don’t like this new “flat and monochrome” thing. I think it’s a fashion. One should always be cautious about simple design rules. As design goes, in one setting the flat, grayscale approach can be dull, in another one, it can be cheerful

Are there any similar tools available for Ruby? When I've checked it a few years ago, there were some projects at very early stages; hardly comparable to their Python counterparts.

As for the integrated stack problem, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Enthought Python Distribution [1]. I've used it on both Windows and Mac. It includes all the important libraries for linear algebra, matrix computation, and visualizati

I was going to read through the comments in my usual routine of gathering insights the original link missed. Then it struck me. I liked that t-shirt. It simply looked good. What comment was I expecting? Some kind of logical reasoning about

They probably do not know much about the banking sector, as most of the banks (I would say 95%) are branches of Western European ones, like the French Societe Generale, Austrian Erste Group, or the Belgian KBC. The way they bought/privatize

It's cultural for the last few generations. From a historical perspective it is rather inaccurate. Let me just scratch the surface of the history of Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It is much more complex, but I hope this simplification wi

Some time ago I took the "Developing iPad Applications for Visualization and Insight" course from CMU [1]. Honestly, I do not remember much from the "visualization theory" part. I have learned more about the tools needed to build those visu

I don't really think that the colors are working out that well. I'm having a hard time imagining the continuum of colors between red and blue. Mapping the variable (percentage of votes for either party) to saturation or brightness of a cert

I don't think that "creative" people would fail the test. Creativity has nothing to do with finding smartass solutions to puzzles. It has little to do with even solving puzzles. Creativity is seeing, connecting and coming up with things oth

I've recently came across a project from Stockholm [1]. They went live before the UK announcement, so I suppose they set up a US entity. [1] http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/martinkallstrom/memoto-l...

What does CoW mean? As in "GC breaks CoW & caching". There are quite a few acronyms and supposedly even some animal with these three letters.

Personally, I'm looking foward to a future where the display of my phone does not get scratched by the keys in my pocket. It will happen, and it will be a good thing. Admittedly, getting rid of my phone would solve the problem equally well.

Which would be the companies mentioned in the essay? I have tried to search for a list of yc companies, but the sites I've found were quite outdated.

I've been programming a 3D application in Objective-C for a few months. There are things I like, dislike and find really confusing about the language. The thing is, you have to learn and understand it before making assumptions based on "hel

Is that irony or ignorance? There are plenty of things worth doing that do not have a viable business model. How would you achieve the goals of the two nonprofits mentioned in the article? There are really no short term benefits from protec

It's such a huge amount of money. Patents are what they officially say. Obviously, they have partners and they don't want to lose them in the short term, so protecting them seems pretty harmless. But they will inevitably compete at some poi

Thanks for sharing this insight. It really struck me with its simplicity. It happens all the time. When I have a clear notion of how to continue, I can't wait to start coding the next day. Just the opposite happens when I am left with a "bl

“Founder unfriendly conditions” do not compare to the way oligarchs operate and the consequences of their actions. Much of the authenticity that comes through in your essays is based on being truly committed to the things you talk about. Th
