Visited Barcelona a decade ago to see this. It's awesome. I often think calling it "kitsch" is some sort of unfortunate linguistic quirk because Antonio Gaudi's name evokes "gaudy." The thing is a celebration o

Oi! is how I find my friends in crowded places. We've all lived with Australians, who taught us. One quick "oi" will really quick cut through the commotion of a crowd and cause our gazes to practically crash zoom into each ot

This is an incredible bit of footage. It's so cool to see the engines looking sideways like a chameleon. Raises a question: I suppose they fired 2/3 engines not because of a failure, but because 3 engines would produce too much th

It seems like you're fixated on one definition being "standard" and the other being "savings" - as are so many in this debate. When the time shifts, society as a whole moves with in. In general, I find my weekday mo

Most of the modern backpacks portrayed are heavy and designed for 45+lb loads (of which some of these packs will comprise 3+lbs). Would have liked to see more ultralight representation because it serves as a good counterpoint to all the tec

If you do Costco, and you surf, then you have inevitably come across the "Wavestorm" surfboard. The original article brings up the trust consumers place in the products Costco decides to sell, and the Wavestorm is a fun example of

Curious what effect a doubling in the DWave machine's "qubits" would have on this factor and how soon that's likely to be achieved. Does the complexity / cost of building such a machine scale linearly with the numbe

A part of me feels like this would work extremely well as a kind of Vine or Instagram for people with GoPros doing cool shit. Yep, social media features and content hosting might be a bit out of scope but it would really close the loop on t

This one right here. It's really useful for creating relevant commit messages, catching spurious whitespace changes, random debug code etc. I like Sourcetree for history and diffs, but it's CLI all the way for commits.

His point about increasingly non zero-sum games reminds of a Steven Pinker talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ramBFRt1Uzk#t=890 "Technology has increased the number of positive sum games that humans tend to be embro

As you gain weight, you burn more calories passively. I'm 155lbs and could imagine it being difficult walking around with what amounts to nearly a barbell and two 35lb plates should I be in the extremely obese range for a man my size.

Nine is great. I snooze 4 times and it's 4 minutes more time I have than if it were 10 minute intervals. That's 4 extra minutes to ride my bike to work on time for the daily standup at my startup. Now I suppose I could just set my

He's not saying software doesn't run well on multiple cores and we need to learn how to program applications that can utilize multiple cores efficiently. That's a software problem. This is a hardware problem. His argument is

Claims you don't need a DSLR then produces a bunch of amateur photos as evidence. I think computational approaches like the Lytro are the future. But right now, DSLR's still produce markedly better images thanks to faster lenses, larger sen
