Probably because I can't illustrate! Feeding good illustrations like this through my tool should produce equally good results.

You can do a similar thing with valid PNG files by using the gamma attribute: http://thume.ca/projects/2012/11/14/magic-png-files/ I reverse engineered this technique a few years ago, it doesn'

This looks suspiciously similar to https://github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy which is an older project. It even uses similar naming "toxic" "poisons".

Or it will be, if someone manages to create a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. If nobody does it will stay an academic triviality. If someone builds a useful NP problem solving machine, that will change the world.

This is a really neat idea. I'd love to use this but unfortunately there is no documentation and a total of 2 example programs so I have no clue how to actually use it. My normal approach in this situation is to read the source but the

Neat! I like the idea of having both programmer and non-programmer customizability: it invites collaboration as well as people who start as non-programmers to expand their skills. Side note: clever website domain ( http://about.li

This is awesome, it opens up the possibility of using all sorts of JVM languages (Java, Scala, Clojure ...) for pseudo-systems type programming as well as easier interfacing with libraries.

This is cool, but "on Robots" is a bit dishonest. Really it can only control robots, the "robot" has to have some exposed interface for a computer to control it, like the Firmata firmware for Arduino. I forgive them thou

This actually looks to me like a huge win for Intel. A full fast Intel CPU, with no fan! The ability to be passively cooled was previously one of ARMs serious advantages.

To make this more clear: The original link is not a real leak, it is fake with images stolen from someone else's mockup based on John Gruber's price predictions.

This looks like an awesome update! More convenience, more production, more fat, more science!

Shameless plug for my financial independence analysis app, designed for projecting the future instead of tracking the past: http://thume.ca/stashline Would combo well with this app.

I really enjoyed this article, it touches on so many different areas of math and computer science and connects them in interesting ways.

Derp, just got around to googling fabless semiconductor. I had assumed fabless meant a way of creating integrated circuits without expensive silicon processing facilities, clean rooms, etc... I imagined something like 3D printing/laser

This technology exists? If it does I'm super interested. If you have a link to a source that explains how this works that would be awesome. Edit: I misinterpreted the definition of fabless. This comment makes no sense.

Indeed, I used NVDA for a while when I was working on accessibility for a web app and after a week I could turn it up pretty fast, but nowhere near that fast. (I'm not blind)

On a related note, Blackberry is now hiring hundreds of interns for this summer!

Be careful not to assume too much of Watson. IBM's marketing makes it seem like a do-everything general purpose AI, but that likely isn't the case. The program that won Jeopardy was more of a specialized search engine with really

I would be extremely pleased if the tolerances on this thing were loose enough that you could CNC/3D Print new links for it and install them yourself. Neat idea.

This may well be a very important and interesting discovery but I cringed a few times at the poor explanation of some of the science. Example: "a million times thinner than human hair, yet more than 200 times stronger than steel"

From my limited understanding, it seems that the current prototype requires a ton of power (far more than you could fit in a nanosat) and produces a miniscule amount of thrust (even in space with a nanosat it might not move much).

If this technology is as powerful as it claims to be, I could easily see Magic Leap eclipsing Apple as the most valuable company in the world as long as they hold those patents. I suspect their strategy for finding investors is like this: 1

As the author of the forum posts you linked to: yes Velotype also works on a start-vowels-end system, just with letters instead of sounds.
