Waterloo is correspondingly one of the only universities with a whole faculty devoted to math. It's one of the reasons I chose to study at Waterloo: I get a lot more math in computer science than I would elsewhere.

I agree that it's mostly a concrete jungle, but there are some new buildings going up. The new Quantum Nano Centre just opened a few months ago, and it looks pretty spiffy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAZXcVLMMG0

If you want to see a video of it in action, look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_WRCyNQ9KY In the video you can see the brain simulator recognizing the shapes and numbers it is shown, performing some task, and outputting by control

At an established company, yes, that's a reasonable salary for a developer. But when you're starting a startup, you don't take a salary of that size. You live cheaply and take only the minimum that you need as you commit yourself to buildin

It's the #1 on Bing and DuckDuckGo as well, though interestingly you can still see links in the .com in both Bing and DuckDuckGo results, but Google has eliminated the .com completely from their results.

Don't forget that if they were to run their own hardware, they'd probably need a couple of sysadmins to manage it. The question is if running their own hardware would be cheaper by more than the salary of a couple employees.

It's interesting that when it comes time to scale to serve enormous loads, you have to be willing to change fundamental parts of your stack which you've made a huge investment in. Ruby holds up well enough on the majority of the sites that

How is it different than me just texting them directly asking for their email? I suspect they'd be more likely to send their email to me than to some random company trying to act as a middleman.

I was talking about organic search results; i.e., the standard list of links that come up for a query. Marissa was talking about this: http://i.imgur.com/RQhOH.png

I'm not convinced that Google moves it's own results up as part of the organic search results. Bing puts Google Finance first before Yahoo Finance as well. Regardless of it's popularity, its position may simply because of other signals in t

How does the restarting affect people filling out the application form? As long as the restart happens between pressing the save button, would there be any problems? The only problem that I can forsee is if the save button is pressed while

It doesn't seem to work offline. It's different than Google Now on Android, as the results are just the Google search results for the query. But when the Google Knowledge Graph provides an actual answer, it puts that up top and reads it out

I just tried it, and it's much faster than Siri. I wish I could have it replace Siri, but alas, iOS would never allow that. I much prefer the Google Now style voice over's Siri's as well. Google originally announced this app back in August,

This isn't new, and it's not as simple as not letting the browser change the URL during the click event. This swapping of addresses is more complicated that it even needs to be, all we need is: <a href="http://google.com" id="link

I don't expect to see much difference in my day-to-day browsing, I can barely remember the last time I encountered a Java applet - most of the time I see them they are some sort of unimportant and old technology demo. However, I'm of the un

Well, this one doesn't seem to be working at the moment, it's giving me errors, though I haven't spent much time trying to figure out what's going on. I'd like to add preset block time to this one though, and / or make it harder to disable.

I've used Self Control, and I like it in principle (it makes it difficult to disable it after it's been turned on, which I like). However, in practice it doesn't work too well for me. If you block youtube.com or plus.google.com it tends to

You can search Google Drive directly from the omnibox by creating a custom search engine in Chrome. Then you only have to type a couple letters, tab, and the search query.

You can see in the screenshot that the results are hidden behind a "Show results" dropdown. There's no risk of people spotting your subject lines by peering over your shoulder at search results.

There are official clients for OSX and Windows. I believe there is also an unofficial client for Linux built with the APIs GDrive provides.

Really? Wow, I'm surprised to see someone with that sort of attitude. What makes you say that Chrome is spyware?

I had heard of her before, but only because I've watched the Safari videos from Apple's WWDC. This is the only place I've encountered her online, and if you're going to call yourself an "evangelist", then I should be seeing you more often t

I'm friends with a few people on Facebook who I'd consider to be very popular. 1000+ friends with many guys vying after their attention. Every time they post a picture of themselves it will be hit with 50 likes (mostly from males) in the fi

1) It might not be difficult, but that doesn't mean they should do it. I don't really think it's "baffling" why they wouldn't build a bunch of extra functionality that probably wouldn't be used by many people. Most people editing documents

Sure. There are already several web-based IDEs that are integrated with Google Docs.
