On that list that I've used: Buzz, Pack, Desktop, Reader, iGoogle. To Be Discontinued: Google Drive Hosting, Google Code. I don't think it's tired and overplayed. It's a consequence of how Google works; try lots of thing

Google Drive hosting, to be fair it still works and you guys gave plenty of heads up (August 31, 2016). Just because they are in different divisions doesn't mean Google hasn't shut things down.

I wasn't explicit with my earlier comment, you're right about the beta period. I was referring to after when they exit beta and are a good, useful service for a year or two.

I like this, and it feels "Google-y". Worried that a handful of us will use it, lean on it heavily, and then Google will do what Google does and pull the plug on it.

Do you pronounce Py as 'pee'? If so that's interesting. Py is pronounced 'pie' in my head and when I occasionally say it aloud.

Every time someone gets all giggly about Thorium I'm suspicious. Could you provide some documentation about why this is a viable option in space?

What a contentless article, "Work harder! Grumble grumble grumble." We all know that none of these VC "gurus" are actually cleverer than the rest of us, but yet we give them an audience for empty posts like this because

I think even Feynman would admit this is not the case, he had no simple way of explaining magnetism because it is inherently complicated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO0r930Sn_8

Additional reading material: some of NASA's own rules for safe code (with explanations of each! love the stack one, free memory management :P). http://spinroot.com/gerard/pdf/P10.pdf

I've lived in Korea, my experience was you gave out phone numbers when meeting new people, KakaoTalk automatically scans new contacts and adds them to your KakaoTalk contacts and all subsequent texting and photo sharing was through Kak

There's another city sim in the works called Citybound and the dev is seemingly obsessed with getting roads and traffic right. http://blog.cityboundsim.com/

If imdb's movie /year/1979/ list is to be believed, there was a lot of self loathing going on in films in the late 70s (i.e. Vietnam).

This is speculation, but I think if Linus had a team a tenth of the size of the kernel team in one physical location they could get just as much done. I'd love to see negating or supporting data either way, it's just my opinion th

Good model for maintaining an existing codebase, but not for designing good ones from the ground up. It works best with a singular leader (or geographically centered leaders) who can make the overall architectural and engineering decisions.

I think it's almost impossible given human biology to expect excellent architectural/engineering decisions from remote teams. You need the in-the-flesh discussions, whiteboarding, leadership, etc.

Unless I missed something when we were covering eye physiology at uni, contact lens screens are useless. The area we can actually attend to and process data is tiny, which means the screen has to be directly in the center of the contact. Fo

Nothing like this will ever compare with a submersible in terms of "stealth". Who knows, maybe there already exists a supercavitating shallow draft sub for the spooks to use.

Sony has been competing with their Actioncams. It's a superior product in terms of image quality (according to reviews), and that wrist screen they offer with it is very cool.

I think you're being very hyperbolic. They were very explicit saying the games were Windows only and had DRM (Steam). It was its own isolated bundle.
