Petition to respell the word as “bluebberry.” That the prediction engine so strongly suggests there should be two b’s in the middle implies that we instead may, in fact, be spelling it wrong.

“Quarter” has a nice big plosive at the beginning, which really gives it an impact. The “th” in third pounder makes it sound kind of weak in comparison. Bigger Burger is great! Aliterates, rhyming, and TWO plosives!

And the more you practice directing your attention, the better your skills of awareness become! You can choose positivity over negativity, joy over anger, love over hate.

Is it the business model, or the people apathetic to its problems?

Interesting point. I guess whether it’s human error at the hands of the pilot/driver, or human error at the hands of the engineer/designer, we can never fully remove it from the equation. Should we just give up? Seems the best we

It’s interesting to observe that, if this is indeed caused by a failure in the stall prevention system (and I say “if” since it’s certainly too soon to draw conclusions), the media and discussion around it seems to gravitate towards disab

For me, concocted stories (if done right) are an exercise in human creativity & ingenuity. The characters are an amplification of our own character traits, and the situations are metaphors for our own lives. If done masterfully—this ove

Gotcha. It's not that genetic algorithms are meant to emulate the real-world, but rather that they're inspired by it.

(serious question) Do any genetic algorithms take something like this into account? Seems like it could be a good way to increase the odds of furthering successful generations.

That's a very bold assumption.

This is so romantic! Earth has a little friend that (at least on a human timescale) has always been there, always will be, no questions asked <3

Regarding Kindertotenlieder, he didn't actually lose any children until after he wrote it. Quoth Wikipedia [0]: “I placed myself in the situation that a child of mine had died. When I really lost my daughter, I could not have written

Have you looked at the YouTube reviews on the iOS App Store? They're exceptionally horrible for what really is an A-grade app! I don't know for sure, by my assumption is it's mostly because of material design, but subconsciou

The perceived "if you're keeping quiet, you must have something to hide" aspect of anonymity fascinates me. Does anybody know if you might actually be safer from, say, a theoretical surveillance program by "blending in&q

Abstraction and conceptualization are at the core of what makes us human. Some people think technology is cold and hard and inanimate, but when I look at it I see the exact opposite. A great way to be motivated to write abstract code is to

This is fascinating! They took a medium I had always classified as a cheap imitation of a real piano, and accentuated its strengths to make it something incredibly! Blocks of notes for percussion, impossibly fast trills for a different timb

A fun alternative is to build everything yourself for free, from scratch, as an app! Shameless plug: [1] Some resources for getting started down this path: [2] [3] [4] If anybody wants to chat about audio synthesis on iOS, feel free to get

It is SO GREAT to be able to read things without zooming or scrolling!!! I'm so excited!!! It needs minor tweaks to make it uniformly readable across arbitary screen sizes, but in general this just made my day!

Oh? I was thinking the opposite, that things look super jarring being flush against the borders. EDIT: Ah. It's a different story on iPhone 6s Plus than say, 5s.

Ah. Right! "doesn't solve anything" is definitely not the case:)

I've been using Swift for over a year now, which has had an Optional implementation from day one. I see a lot of people defending Java's implementation in this thread, can someone check my understanding? I did Java in a past life

But surely you can't remember a different poem for every service that requires a password? Relegating you to use a password manager anyway, at which point you might as well just generate random passwords that don't rely on diction

On the topic of boredom and attention lapses while driving, I wonder if it would actually be made safer by being made more difficult, in contrast to the never-ending search for ease of use. Something that's difficult, mentally stimul
