If you play the demo, this game is extremely clearly not a rehash of the way bullet-time was used in F.E.A.R. or Max Payne.

In the demo, you could never fully "pause" the game. Even when you stopped moving, everything still moved, just very slowly. The game most definitely turned into a puzzle in the same way that Braid's levels were puzzles. I ca

I'm an avid FPS player (Counter-Strike, Quake, Doom, Halo, Far Cry) so I get what you mean about FPS games, but it's really not applicable. The issue is that Superhot isn't much about the "shooter" part of FPS. It&#

My thought is that it may be applicable if you're looking to find points of convergence, which classification of data by multiple classifiers may seek to do. Would be a fun experiment. Do different classifiers who have been taught with

My grandmother has an iPad. My grandmother does not have Beats. No amount of licensing, etc. is going to get Apple the branding that Beats have right now in the music hardware space.

> iTunes is at risk of aging - kids' parents use it An angle I didn't originally think about, but I think this is a big one. Apple has seen how Facebook has aged, and may be trying to avoid the same thing.

The thing I wonder about their status as a top competitor: how different would their status be in a less restrictive market? How does Alipay's user experience compare to Paypal's? Is it the lack of competition that has enabled the

Exactly my thought. I'll share this article with the majority of the people I know, but there's no way they'll read through the lengthy jargon presented. It's very unfortunate, because I would love to spread the message.

Where does, say, proof by induction fit into that linear set of progressing abstraction? Surely you don't need to understand calculus to understand inductive reasoning?

I wonder how strong of a connection the emphasis on "the individual" has with the decreased anonymity in such technology. It seems that platforms like 4chan provide the capability for more of a "group-think" than platfor

If it's the same thing, find & replace? Just playing devil's advocate, I've never come across a situation where I wanted multiple cursors that sed or macros couldn't do for me.

Interesting, hadn't thought about it that way. Definitely bugs me when I wear two socks of the same color/brand/etc. that fit differently due to age.

Yup. Unless you have millions of socks, you can afford to "hash" each style sock by color + pattern + size + whatever, rather than repeatedly into ever-smaller piles based on just one of the metrics. That's actually how I pai

What you're looking for isn't "how to code ", it's "how to architect ". I'm unaware of any courses that go over the general structure of an entire solution, but that's the direction you want t
