I would like to see a built-in natural-language interface so I can, for example, "ps -elf | grep something" with a voice command. In the future we will need these interfaces so if this is built in to the OS that would be nice adva

"A fun but largely pointless exercise in setting up a Linux distro." When it comes to using C keep in mind a lot of developers are interested in lower-level interactions--perhaps at the hardware level. There is probably value in c

Honestly, making things up is exactly how we prove if it works or not. For example: Suppose I can talk into a tiny little device and someone can hear me from miles away. That sounded like witchcraft at some point but it became a reality. Fu

The moment Mickey's copyright expires I'm creating a series called Mickey Mouse. There won't be any women though because it's about IT consultants and their daily goings-on.

While some people might not agree with me, I'd say focus on the Math. Machine learning may be easy to use with these toolkits but doing something useful with it will require deeper understanding.

Agreed. We can only get to an estimation of the reality for the real thing is too complex... Until we break through the simulation and end up at the event horizon!

It's so cold on mars we could take advantage of geo-thermal properties of the planet perhaps and dig tunnels. But I think the main problem we need to solve is the overconsumption of the planet we currently inhabit.

Git was designed for the Linux kernel source which everyone using android or another Linux distro is interested in. That helps a lot because if it can handle that project surely it can handle any other codebase.

Well, pretty implies delicate and graceful. While the construction might have been gracefully carried out, it is certainly not delicate.

Architecturally for sure. But, the true feeling of any transportation hub includes the people buzzing through. At least modern-day ones :) I'm sure things were much slower paced back then however. Perhaps it was an entirely different e

Yeah I have to agree. Maybe it's because I don't travel a lot, but it's like watching a big social experiment every time I go through.

Is there any transportation hub that can be categorized as pretty? Bus stations, train stations, whatever else has too much hustle-and-bustle to be categorized as pretty.

I think this is one of those things that is more about wisdom than anything else. You get a sense of what to comment over time and experience. Typically following language best-practices is ideal (pydoc, godoc, Javadoc, etc) so you can get

The design reminds me of a nice, snug pair of underwear :) Clever distinction from the standard devices out there!

Probably why a lot of professors say that University is often about networking opportunities just as much as it is about learning. But aside from knowing talented people, it takes visionaries to generate fantastic outcomes. Walt Disney for

Honestly the day trip people would annoy me if I were a border patrol officer. Commuting in and potentially exploiting economic loopholes or something. That or smugling drugs across the border. Especially given the strength of the USD over

Yes we would. Long before capitalism was invented the great creators of the world made great strides with inventiveness. While necessity is certainly the mother of invention, there's no limit to human curiosity. Examples: Arabic numera

Honestly no one is self-made. People who don't have financial cushions still rely on others to back their idea and hard work. Problem is everyone on HN is talking about how to make millions when that's backwards mentality because

Not to mention when you visit YouTube or any other site they spam the annoying adverts to use chrome. Fuq that. If we want to download another browser we will.

Yeah there seems to be some magic going on behind the scenes. I'm not a huge fan of magic in this case. Though it's just Beta now still right? I like having VMs on my local machine that I can snapshot. I would prefer if MSFT bolst

Tons of resources dont matter if they aren't looking in the right direction. A small shop can make huge progress just need to think "okay they're all doing it this way", and then do the opposite most crazy thing ever. Ho

And you can't even snap windows left-and-right like in other OS's. Apple is too caught up on trying to be that anti-establishment-use-different-key-combos-than-the-standard-and-forget-about-standardized-ports sort of workshop. The

My philosophy is that everyone has useful nuggets of information to share, regardless of age, gender, race, etc. Take it all while ya can. Learn from everyone.

Not stereotyping the best developers but saying that one who keeps an open mind to new ideas will be a better at what they do. Now, obviously there are limits to what people can do but more exposure is generally better. C is all well and go

Well, this is true if all one is interested in is getting a job today . However, the best developers aren't primarily concerned about getting a job or not, they are genuinely interested in programming as both an art and a science. Mon
