Developers control what goes in front of the user and where, we'll still be able to tell plenty about a user's decision making process given that and how their head and hands navig…

This is pretty much exactly why I vehemently disagree with Apple's decision to draw such a firm line in the sand preventing devs from accessing the eye/gaze data directly. I'm part…

Locking the away the eye data is a big miss for me. With the hololens we were able to get interesting visual confirmation that what you were looking at was indeed focused prior to …

I challenged Sutton's reinforcement learning course this term (in spite lacking the appropriate pre-requisites) and, while my grasp of some of the mathematical theory was indeed la…

Anyone else get tripped up by being able to place bunnies and the dog on the same space? Instinctively I expected that to trigger a failure state.

What a needlessly divisive, inaccurate, and frankly disgusting characterization. The literally definition reads: "Indigenous or less commonly indigenous : of or relating to the ear…

In my experience it's more the latter. Not only is it simpler (no need to maintain parallel ui implementations, easier to update, speed-up implementation time) to use a framework t…

What part of the CNN fact-check was incorrect? It's not listed in the original link.

This period of Trump benefiting off unfettered, direct access to the public, and Twitter benefiting off of greater clout through hosting the president is most definitely coming to …

Bit of an interesting inside perspective on an industry often said to soon be victim to AI/ML advances. Not sure if the intent behind this is to placate current professionals or at…

Hacker news seems to be pretty lukewarm (and getting increasingly cooler) when it comes to getting an MBA when coming from a compsci/engineering background. [1] [2] [3] However, in…

This is actually a really clever project, not sure why this is the first time I'm seeing something like this.

Aside, I can't believe I never realized that was the intended use of the grave key.

No one tell Ray Kurzweil.

I like the apple video more. The music pairing and faster cuts made for a more frenetic experience that is extremely effective at building hype.

For the record, you don't need to use Typescript for Angular 2, you can just use regular JS (or Dart for that matter). The documentation is definitely biased toward Typescript at t…
