While I’m unsure I’ll be using Swift for the rest of my life, I’ll continue to work on my little tool to detect unused code for as long as I can. It’s my most popular open-source c…

I believe this is the idea behind the Brave browser and their Basic Attention Token https://basicattentiontoken.org

One some larger roundabouts in the UK (and no doubt other European countries), they have traffic lights on the roundabout, between exits (I'm not talking about the entry lights). I…

I hear the argument "Americans don't understand roundabouts, therefore we wont build any" quite often in these kinds of articles. If you survey people about something they've never…

My initial reaction was acquihire. Though given their recent improvements to Pages [1], this acquisition could mean a push into the Easel market space. 1: http://pages.github.com/ …

I haven't tried Netflix, but I love that I can now see all the films in my queue that are available on iTunes.

Another thought is that there may be some ratio between quality and rewatability that signifies the first-time (but not repeated) watchability of a film. For example, 5 stars for q…

It'd be interesting to see the overall variance on quality vs. rewatachability. That could give some clue on the objectivebess of users' answers to quality. Perhaps quality is just…

Also, if you avoid the normalisation step you could easily factor in the degree at which user A liked the quality vs. user B, instead of just a 'more' or 'less' question. If you fa…

I think the weightings I describe above would give you that. Say we start at 0 and user A likes the next move in both directions (+4) and user B only likes it more in one direction…

I assume each vector has its own weight? So better in "Better in both respects" is a stronger sign of similarity than just "Higher quality but same rewatchability." So say.. "Same …

Interesting read. Vector Victor sounds like a linear correlation algorithm. I wonder what coefficient they're using under the hood...

Can be used to diagnose memory bloat issues by inspecting ObjectSpace.
