I walked through Target's Open House in SF a few weeks ago; I'd recommend visiting if you're in the area. It's pretty slick product display space. Each "room" has a projector which gives an overview of four or

I'd like to C++ support added to Swift, similar to Objective-C with Objective-C++. There are some C++ frameworks which are nice to use in Obj-C, like Box2D. Currently to get them to work with Swift, you have to write an Obj-C or C wrap

What if Apple introduced workstation-class ARM another way; made a really powerful iPad/iPhone which could sit in a dock with keyboard/mouse/monitor, and run both iOS and ARM OSX? x86 computers could continue to exist for hig

One big thing Zacolo has over Dropbox is cheaper pricing. Dropbox for Business is $15/mo [1] per user (can be up to 30% cheaper if you pay in-full for a year), where-as Zacolo is $5/mo [2] per user. That'll put downward press

It's quicker sometimes. This morning I made some oatmeal. I took a 1/2 measuring cup, scooped out some oatmeal, shook it quickly to remove the overflow, threw it in a pot, and dropped the measuring cup in my sink. It took around 5

Perhaps take your own emotions into account, and weigh them against what you're being asked to do? Abstractly: If I do A I'll feel good about A, but terrible about B. If I don't do A I'll feel bad about A, but fantastic

Anecdotical (10+ years running experience). I've found that jogging at slow speeds (~6 MPH) has a similar effect creatively on me as walking does (2-4 MPH). Running at medium speeds (~8 MPH), I still notice an increase in creativity as

I don't believe it's not about "not caring". I think it's more about having a finite number of productive brain-cycles per day, and what you spend them on (opportunity cost). If you spend all day thinking about othe

Also, there's a popular video game also named "Fez" which uses the same fez hat in it. It probably won't lead to confusion since the game isn't a file based build tool, though it'll be something you might have

I guess you could say that HTML meets that standard. For example, <h1> through <h6> headers could be rendered by the browser accordingly; most default renderers still display things mostly the same way Netscape Navigator 2.0 did

I wonder if the right maths applied to existing genetic and forensics big data sets could produce the 33 questions. I'd imagine that genetic markers would be the best way to do to (Disclaimer: I'm no biologist and might have mad

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. You hit on something though; in the U.S. there are tens of thousands of ATM machines all over. They all accept PIN numbers, and I "believe" magnetic-strip as well (not sure if they're doi

The nice thing about reality is that it continues to exist regardless if you believe in it or not. The thing is, what we perceive as reality might be wrong sometimes. Fortunately the scientific method is a pretty good algorithm whose purpos
