I think this is a huge misconception and I don't think it works this way. have you heard people say 50 is the new 40, etc.? The same thing would work at older ages. Sure the last 10 years are a decline, but you are pushing those years

Yeah makes sense, if you already have metal ships carrying goods there is no need to make additional ships just for protection. I suppose there could be an economic advantage if the pykrete ships can be made significantly cheaper and faster

This is amazing. The other day I was looking to play "Don't Look Back" by Terry Cavanagh and the game is broken on his website: https://terrycavanaghgames.com/dontlookback/ But this website has it! http

The whole argument comes down to bursty vs. non-bursty workloads. What type of workloads make up the fat part of the distribution? If most use cases are bursty (which I would argue they are) then the author's argument only applies for

The submission page has a text box for submitting the story on a Google form. This seems like a bad experience. Can you also allow for submitting via a link to a Google Doc at least to preserve formatting of the text? I think this might be

Why would it circumvent DRM? I'm assuming they would use the same DVDs for rental they currently use (similar to physical rental DVDs used by Blockbuster in the past).

I don't have a dog in this fight, however, I am curious. Who exactly are you? Who is this "we" you are referencing? And why does this comment need to be avoided?

Does any of this announcement affect Google Datalab? It feels like they keep Datalab as some second class citizen, that doesn't even get a spot in the menu bar in the cloud console and doesn't get any love when all of these let-us

To conclude that: > Google couldn't care less if their customers can figure out how to use their products. That feels like a pretty strong leap to make from your complaint about using the term "reload" when "load&quot

I just did the free trial and pasted in a current JD I have on some job boards. The user interface is nice and easy to use. I like that I was able to make updates and it would show my improved score in real time. However, now that I have im

The number 1 way to conserve water is to eat less meat. I don't think that people have learned this yet and most people have not changed their habits to consume less meat. Serious question: why is it acceptable to change all kinds of b

Ok, so I've been sitting here thinking for awhile now because I have the exact same feelings that you do about the growth hacking buzzword. I went and read your blog post and I have the exact same sentiment. I am a marketer and coder, so in
