For a great account of the history of research in AI, from the 70s to 2020, consider "Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World".
It was very interesting for me to learn about the Symbolic approach to AI, which in the 70s was getting all the hype, while the Connectionist approach was ridiculed. In the end, connectionism is what gave us the stunning results we observe today.
Highly recommended book!
Looks like they're not. From the Rolling Stone article: "the company will also take prescription details to build into the lenses for those who typically wear glasses."
That's not great at all if it means you can't share your headset.
As the article shows, there's always some subjectivity in mapping. It is essential that there be competition and different approaches to that enormous task.
I've used Meteor a lot over the last 4 years. Recently I had to start a new project and I wanted to move away from Meteor because clearly it has less traction lately.
I've considered a lot of things, but I couldn't find a setup as simple as Meteor with database integration. I ended up going back to Meteor and I'm very happy with it.
The tooling keeps getting better (recent 1.6 release), server-side rendering is almost there (already possible but no clear best practices yet), and scaling seems like it will be getting better soon (MongoDB upade + a path toward GraphQL with Apollo).
I had my doubts but I'm back on board. I recommend every JS developer give Meteor a good look.
For me, the best Regex ressource is still
http://regexr.comIt explains what each character does just by hovering over a regex. Best tool to learn or to fine tune your regular expression (with testing included).
Looks great. I like that the documentation already is very comprehensive, with a Hello World and several integration guides. Great launch!
Really nice. I think it would be more helpful if the properties were ordered in a logical order (by "type" of properties) instead of alphabetical order.
Yeah for physical buttons! I miss them on the Paperwhite.
Thanks for the kind words :)
A couple months ago we launched edgee, a platform for sharing high-quality content in carefully curated collections, called edgees. The app runs on Meteor and we're very happy with it.

This is a great way to implement the principles of meaningful transition and visual continuity mentioned in the Material Design doc. When Material Design was introduced I thought that was the most interesting aspect of it, I'm really glad to find an easy way to put it into practice.

I love cheat sheets! I actually consider them the best way to learn a framework. This one's excellent. Wish I could find one as good for Meteor.
Amen to that. I'm trying to do the same move, and I hate it when people say "ah, you too want to leave France".
There are so many things coming into play in the decision to move to another country - most of the time it's in no way a rejection of one's own.
I've often presented offline map as one of the best (or only) reasons to own an Android over an iPhone. That and the keyboard.
I would be mad to see it go.
That free 1 TB of storage is a big deal. 1 TB of storage on Google Drive is currently $49.99 a month! (DropBox is even more expensive). When Google lowers their prices too, we'll quickly arrive to the situation where we can have free/cheap unlimited storage for life. That's amazing.

Many comments here are focusing on negative stuff, so I wanted to say congrats, I find this website incredibly interesting and useful! I learned a lot browsing through it!
