Is this really what happened? The post from the conference chairs is extremely confusing. Maybe my confusion is because I've never published in a conference with reciprocal reviewers and if I had this experience maybe the post would be

One thing that I find very interesting is that in the past year Apple marketed new iPhones mostly through its supposed AI features while consumers in two major markets (EU and China) can’t use these features. It appears like Apple hastily t

I remember this from the classic Mac OS days (i.e. System 7) circa 1994. It’s probably even older than that.

OneNote is not bad. However, there is no way to export your notes from it and move them to another program. At least with Evernote I was able to export all my notes very easily and then import them to Bear.app.

That’s not at all what the article claims. It presents a hypothetical scenario, based on real SAT average scores, where somebody can reach a very wrong conclusion (teacher unions are bad) based on this data. Then the article proceeds to exp

Two things. First, it is really troubling if Apple wants to impose a tax on transactions between app users. Tipping is used often in China (for example, in the form of "red envelopes" at Chinese New Year) and a 30% cut for Apple i

Yes, despite all the problems in C++ it's just a much better language than C for defining new types that are on par with "native types". std::vector has so many benefits over any possible C implementation that there is no rea

Interesting. It depends on what you mean by better off. I almost never had problems at restaurants with no or optional tipping. The waiters tend to behave professionally and this is what I wish. But in the US, I always feel uncomfortable wi

Does anybody know if the upgrade to Sierra also takes an eternity if you have many files in /usr/local? (homebrew, tex, etc.) Previous upgrades moved all files, one by one, out of /usr/local and then back in during the u

There is something in the article that looks wrong. It's suggesting that `let returnsCat: () -> Cat = animalF` should work, where `animalF` returns `Animal`. The Swift playground agrees with my understanding that this is not correct

If you wipe the system then the time to set it up exactly like it was before is usually orders of magnitude larger than just waiting for the upgrade to move your brew installation out of /usr/local and back again. A better advice

One reason I don't like Automator so much is that it forces me think where to save the workflows I create. Automator has a very iTunes-like interface and I would expect that it takes care of organizing the created workflows. Actually,
