The analogy reminds me of Shrek. Ogres have layers, so they're like onions, which have layers, but not like cakes that have layers? I think the article would have been fine without…

While that's a nice thought, I don't think that ruling in favor of Oracle will magically make Android poof into a new language/api/framework. It'd take lots of effort, and in the m…

Yeah, there's going to be these trade-offs (complexity/efficiency), but I've seen this end up in fellow student's personal projects after learning it in class. Aside from that thou…

It seems like we're due for a new Google Flagship Tablet device soon, though I haven't seen any news to that effect yet.

If you're counting the Samsung, Google, AccuWeather, and ChatOn logo's, sure. Without those we're left with a still diverse set, but I think reasonably varied. If I could make one …

He doesn't appear to back it well in the article other than as a quality of the plastic. Reviews are subjective, and as the next Google Flagship device, the S3 will be getting lots…

For me the biggest turn-off is the pentile display. I think for now I'll just keep the HTC One X.

Additionally useful: Text file explaining the command and usage (from the commit): https://github.com/gitster/git/blob/634392b26275fe5436c0ea13... Examples are at the bottom.

I hope to see Android's 'repo' tool improved to (optionally) make use of this.

RC Aircraft nerd here. This is very cool, but not at all uncommon (while this particular model is, making scale remote-control versions are not). Pulse-jet aircraft are some of the…

Add it to the other lists of april fools jokes?

Randall will probably put up a way to permalink it after the fact. It looks like http://xkcd.com/1037/ (which should be this comic number) is 404'd.

That was part of the inspiration for mine, https://github.com/machinaut/XeTeX-Resume/blob/master/modern... (the github repo has all of the source). Dario Taraborelli's other articl…

I just use XeTeX so I can get proper kerning and ligatures. Oddly enough, as a typography nerd LaTeX just doesn't cut it.

Maybe I'm not sure about how tech-savvy most people are, but when I get a text message from an unknown number claiming to be my provider asking me to click a web link to update my …

Correlation versus causation, guys. We're better than this.

As someone who did computational modeling of water, this strikes me as kind of odd. The "hello world" of computational molecular dynamics is simulating water in different phases, p…

:-( I was planning on doing this for YC next summer. Looks like I got beat to the punch.

I've actually heard this question asked a lot in a bunch of different forms, and (to me) it basically comes down to: How do I use virtualization to provide additional security to p…

As someone who hopes to be a future professor, posts like this are extremely valuable to me. I hope that some of the good that's come from this media storm is we'll have a surge of…
