Worth underlining that designers work very hard to understand the needs of the particular situation. Usually type designers consider the legibility of 3, 6, 8, 9, 0 (particularly 8…

The leaflet ( https://github.com/polarsys/b612/blob/master/docs/B612-Leafl... ) explains the design thinking behind this. They call them "light traps", though I'm not totally convi…

What does it mean to have less active parameters (36B) than the full model size (132B) and what impact does that have on memory and latency? It seems like this is because it is an …

I'm about to give up on London and move to San Francisco. Both cities are experiencing 10%+ house price inflation and all the pain that goes with it. New York has experienced much …

EFF continues awful tradition of confusing personal digital liberty advocacy with lame complaining about not getting things that cost money for "free".

This map and many others include digital/creative agencies. They may be startups in the sense of new companies, but if we accept that definition why not include every new lawyer, r…

For all this article's many faults, at least it is long-form and has more than two sources. I hope PandoDaily continues to support long-form journalism and I hope they inspire othe…

What exactly is misleading given there are several common algorithms used (cubic by Linux and compound by windows) and the gains are at least an aggregate 2x improvement on key per…

It's a difference in approach that is tied to time: suburban American houses were mostly built after forced air central heating, and in that kind of heating insulation is "less" im…

Amount of head on lager varies from country to country but it is hard to argue with a Czech given that they invented Pilsen lager. A good head has a different taste and adds a diff…

No sorry the "man pushes his car to a hotel and loses his fortune" question from another comment.

Yes lack of dates has always been a big complaint at the Palo Alto MENSA meet ups.

I asked these questions until a year ago. Brain teasers were never ok. They are defined as things that require a single insight and/or domain knowledge and could be communicated in…

Exactly as I read it. The translation is better as "Jana was baffled when the officials showed her a print out of all of her facebook correspondence." The article makes it clear th…

I was ready to say that angularjs plus mobile does not work based on our experience but at least your demo works well, though I think it has few bindings. I'll try it later in andr…

We did something pretty similar to this when we didn't get into YC in W13: https://plus.google.com/u/0/115851397461982481700/posts/AUX1... On review, the meetings and advisory help…

It is impossible to judge the impact from this rant but I can certainly say that ownership of intellectual property is not a human right. Nor does the Berne Convention hold that it…

OP: I remember being in precisely your position when my last year's exams came around many years ago. I remember going from effortlessly succeeding in school to busting my ass to b…

You can also opt out of the scan when you travel which registers your opinion. On average this adds about 3 minutes to the security time, though sometimes longer (up to 7) if other…

ALL these tensions exist in a startup. In the 3 I have been in, all these issues arose to varying degrees. In my second we went to the coffee shop on Monday morning and talked real…

Accusing politics of being the downfall of some enterprise is a highly purist position. Politics is usually meant as "things that aren't coding that I don't like". Even political v…

Given that all work takes energy, it seems vastly stupid to call "a disaster". It also costs money to click cows, watch cat videos, make toast, and cuddle babies. Relatively speaki…

Rather than try to replicate a really complicated set of conditions, why not see if ionized air blown at an object in a wind tunnel causes more pressure than non-ionized air? The c…

I have a friend who uses a wood burning stove to heat his home. This article is so long on claims and insults and so short on facts and references that I would never show it to him…
