The human records will shift to become about who made the AI. So in case you are afraid to no more be able to brag about having biggest, because of AI, fear not, it's like saying horses beat all human running records. It will just get

How about trying to apply the same logic for communicating with people with Synesthesia? As a synesthete myself, that was the first thought I had after reading this article. It would be interesting to see where this leads.

The problem with this reasoning is that it considers this to be true: if intelligent life exists, we are gonna be able to understand its intelligence. What if there exist an intelligent life, so intelligent that their level of intelligence

Most companies nowadays have some kind of Machine Learning in place, it shouldn't be a surprise if Microsoft uses some of that knowledge to craft their ads. It's not necessarly that they "got it", but maybe just doing wh

We are a team of 25 engineers working on the same sbt based project. I don't see why we would move to pants. Do you have any non-marketing reason for why Pants is better than sbt?

Typesafe apparently knew about the fork and agreed on the direction before Typelevel's annoucement. So it seems to me more like a "joint" announcement than a response.

The title is misleading. The bug was fixed before the release of Ubuntu 14.04, so technically, holding down Enter on Ubuntu 14.04 WILL NOT bypass lockscreen.

Oh, I didn't know Wafty Man was based on the typing tutor code. Wafty's been the most accurate flappy bird clone I could find on the app store by far. It's impressive, same guy behind the two ;)

I think you confused context switching with app switching. Yes having Github activity in the text editor means less app switching, but you are still context switching; from writing code to reading comment, which is the real productivity kil

Why is seeing your friends comments and code reviews in the text editor any better than seeing them in the browser? Are we becoming this lazy? or this busy?

I think there are so many words written on why the available Linux DEs suck that I don't see how is my (yet another) opinion is gonna help you. My point is that the real problem of Linux on the Desktop _is_ the Desktop Environment, and

The scenario of a pool having 51% of the network power has always been known, and it actually already happened with other pools and the result is just people leaving as soon as it's getting closer to 45%. As of writing, Ghash.io (which
