This is one of the vanishingly small instances of actually representing the tech industry well in media, even if there's a lot of exaggeration and they elide the boring stuff. Ther…

By "Lightning fast management tool" you mean "virtualised table"?

I too spent far too many years in the adtech industry before realising that what I thought I was doing (helping fund cool things on the web) was not what I was actually doing (dest…

Not even wrong

I think that's a bad misreading of the article, and life in general. When the author is saying "better" he's talking about the whole makeup of a person, not just a single advanced …

+1 for this, I may end up buying this anyway but aside from the piano I have a Arturia Keystep Pro hooked up to a few synths that can sequence 4 channels, would be amazing to have …

This isn't an article for computer scientists, and I think he covers this pretty well: "While Levy calls him a “world-class computer scientist who has authored definitive texts in …

I'm kind of disappointed, Apple make such a big thing of being green but keep making machines that aren't upgradeable in these tiny form factors. I was really hoping for a more aff…

This is really great, would love something like this for pure maths.
