On my Acer c720, alt-backspace acts as delete. Not sure if that's ChromeOSes doing or the keyboard firmware. I've gotten so used to it that I had to make my windows machine do the same thing!

I see the relation - but it's also how nearly all information is gathered and infered - even at a human level. You take incomplete information, look at the landscape, and try to fill in the blanks. A friend you're meeting tells yo

It's all about adding bits of information to improve confidence in tracking users across pages. Lets assume that in page visits <10 minutes apart, a users battery won't change by more than 10%. So say I go to volvo.com and then

6-7 hours. Probably averaging 6.5. But I also commute for an hour both ways by bus - I'll often get a half hour or more of sleep both ways. Probably not great sleep (no REM) but better than nothing. I sometimes notice as the week goes

I totally get your opinion that language should be used more freely. But at the end of the day - different things are appropriate in different contexts. Some of these we feel strongly about, others, we may not. > A bathing suit is not co

Anything can be trivialized if you detest social norms enough. Fake examples: > It took me forever to find a good font for my webcomic that wasn't comic sans. I'm astounded that apparently we can't use a perfects good font

I believe UK keyboards? I say this because when installing a new OS and it defaults to en-UK locale, some of my buttons on the right side of the keyboard do unexpected things (US here), and I always have to look up where exactly the single-

It is pricey - but that's kinda the point. The value of the Pixel brand is equally about what it supplies the ecosystem with. Having a Chromebook that is high-end with all the new bells and whistles - and very well designed hardware br

That's an interesting concept - I'm not sure I'm fully understanding though. In your example - in the 'reduce' step - the implication is that the attack and debuff are handled in a deterministic way, regardless of t

I'm working on a toy game engine for fun. What about the pattern of having a globally accessible list of game entities? EG when a bullet hits an object do (psuedocode) Game.getEntityById('player').applyDamage(20); The

That's a clever solution! There's an experimental way to do this in CSS - but it's not well supported yet: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/shape-outsi... And likely this c

I have little faith in this company or approach to holograms. Euclideon has shown off their voxel based renderer for years as something that will revolutionize gaming and real-time production as we know it - but it has done no such thing. I

I don't think there's any mention of NN to create those filters - in fact, not sure if it's ML at all. Very likely some off-the-shelf CV face-detection - especially considering it must run real-time on a phone.

It looks much worse than my imagination accredited for - but Metroid Prime Hunters was a beautiful DS game: http://www.ricedigital.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/hunt... https://www.youtube.

I think because once you get into the range of 20-digit prime numbers, there become quite a lot, such that it's infeasible to test all permutations to find the prime factors.

It means that in the area in which a (failed) business tried to operate, the failure can be more specific than "couldn't cover expenses". For example, a shoe company that makes very cheap shoes. Costs 5 dollars to make, sells

Just tried it, and my first four flips were heads - you may be on to something... I'll keep flipping and come back with my results. Update: Heads stayed ahead by a few for quite a while, until they tied at 45 each. It's a race to

Native speaker - I have the same gut instinct on the connotations. But, the term 'isolationism' refers to an intentionally policy of isolating oneself (a nation, presumably). Solitude is close too - but I think would mean complete

Maybe so, but a Whole Foods branded meal kit, with logistics from Amazon Prime probably doesn't sound gross to many people. That's where I assume they're going with this.

I think the idea is that the original pirate takes on more risk, since whoever they pass the copy around to may trigger the alarm by getting the $5-10. The real question is how easily can this private key be removed from the content?

I think it's partially as a result of early science fiction movies having male-voiced robot antagonists. Mostly HAL.

For traditional 2D screens, I tend to agree with you - that 4K is quite enough. But for Virtual Reality, these higher definitions are a must. 8K per eye will be much better than 4K per eye - at least that's the thought at the moment.

I have no horse in this race - but another anecdote is Tom Brady - who recently mentioned how he has a mostly vegetarian diet, except some chicken in the winter. Granted, Quarterbacks don't put on nearly the same muscle mass as other p

I find it surprising you mentioned electronic transition glass - I had thought it's not used pretty much anywhere as of yet, and prohibitively expensive.

Looks very nice - but I agree with the other feedback - text contrast needs to be reworked in some cases, for instance the warning notification. Keep in mind that different devices will have different color qualities that put some text into

I think they're just being sarcastic and saying as many things as possible to scare people away from their beloved state, by throwing out a bunch of stereotypes about it.

I think the difference is projection versus cross-section. A video game is a 3D world projected on a 2D screen. The game is not a cross-section of the 3D world. In this game, you play within a cross-section of the fourth dimension, which yo

You're probably right - I actually suspected that may be the case - though I was only using that as a parallelism for what I'm saying. Language, in my understanding, operates at a lower level of abstraction in the brain than say,

This looks fantastic. If I had a VR device I would get this immediately. I've always had a fascination with trying to grok higher dimensions. I think it's just about impossible to have an intuitive understanding of it - 3D spacial
