Perfect day for it really with them breaking a few of the rules laid out in another top story "7 rules for creating gorgeous ui" [1]. Having non white text over a high contrast photo with skinny text certainly is bold according to

I think it is just a fact of life, it's the same reason that I can't ever figure out how to really use a microwave. They have to make it different this year to "differentiate" the brand. I've learned to live with a

Very refreshing idea! I can't tell from the site if you let users upload their own ratings after trying a pint but I think that would a great feature and also a great independent source of reviews for the app.

Does Cosmos have any characteristics that would allow easy JIT speed optimizations? I would love to see language design go green by allowing easy optimizations that help us save both our valuable electricity and our time. Are there design p

Very interesting article with some cool approaches. I'd be really interested to know how often the model needs to be trained? Seems like a lot of purchases are holiday/seasonally relevant and you'd hate to be suggesting valen

Great work! I'm a novice in the field of image recognition but do you think that using neural networks to represent both the text and image features in an h-dimensional embedding space could be extended to additional features like soun

Looks amazing and fun, thanks for sharing! Please post if they are ever going on sale or kickstarting as I'd love to have one.

Thanks for the link, haven't tried Blaze yet. Their benchmarks do look a little suspicious, especially as Armadillo will auto detect and link to MKL if installed.

Would be great to offer some performance benchmarks to see if this outperforms similar linear algebra packages like eigen [1] which looks to have all the features they are offering and is headers only c++ library. [1] http://eige

It would be great to see google diversify their business model as well as their technology so they weren't getting most of their profit from advertising.

Can we learn from other industries that are facing similar challenges? I'm certainly impressed with the medical and legal professions for dramatically improving the gender balance in the past 30 years[1]. Can we adopt some of the strat

I'm finding that for compiling code usually it is the configuration that makes life hard rather than the build system part. I've been using cmake [1] which makes the rules to build object files, libraries, executables pretty simpl

Agreed. I'd really like to just be able to look at part of two consecutive months at the same time. Seems silly to have the same visualization constraints as a real calendar that crossing from the 31st of current month to 12th of next

Agreed. Disappointing to have so little technical details on something as critical as email on the blog post. Understand less technical approach in tv ads and such but the blog is the place to provide some actual details about the product.

Maybe I'm not the target audience but I'd love some details or even just some screenshots. Is it a web app? Native app? The parsing of some emails for quick views looks nice but not sure I want to mash my todos and email together.
