The game has increased in scope.

Google felt a little more special. "Don't be evil" and all that. Those were the days.

In BBC's "Race across the world" you aren't allowed a mobile phone to check timetables, so I guess this is in the spirit of that game.

I'm on holiday in NY now - this is so cool

Yes it's annoying, but that's part of the puzzle right?

Opening Claude from the parent directory is what I do, and it seems to work pretty well, but I do like this monorepo idea so that a single commit can change things in the front end and back end together, since this is a use case that's quite common

I love how Django just keeps slowly improving at every release. 6.0 is especially cool, including lots of really useful new features. Who said dependable tech was dull - this is the way is should be done. Well done all who contribute.

This would be great for open source projects

Totally agree, this annoys me to. The gaps between sentences make speech easier to listen to and digest.

This is really well done. I'd love to see some more info about the process of photographing the cars.

This died when the web became mostly a marketing tool for businesses. It's a shame, but inevitable.

Are you willing to share his reply?

Here's the article you're referring to - https://www.sitepoint.com/the-cicada-principle-and-why-it-ma...

Ben Ryan (designer of the prosthetic arm) has an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds to explore the technology further through his startup Ambionics.

Scammer should have asked earlier what OS he was using! Skip to 6.30 if you get bored. In the last 30 seconds, the scammer gives up and says "you are not a journalist, you are a bastard son of Charles Babbage I think so."

Nice product well excecuted. I personally thought the demo was just fine - didn't seem to take too long to understand what was going on. A nice additional feature would be to allow people to type in a question while being shown through a guided tour.

I know this is a very difficult question, but if you could choose only one book to convey the main ideas in each of those four areas you mention (software architecture, system design, algorithms, data structures), what would they be? I ask because I'm looking to buy some good books on the subjects.

This is really nice and clean. Personally, I think it's a bad name though. Minus? I appreciate it does "emphasize simplicity and minimalism", but it's got nothing at all to do with images. Also, it would be even better if you could include some form of federated login so I don't have to sign up.

Personally, I'd rather tell my media centre PC to change channel with a voice command than wave my hand at it. Seems more natural to me. I'm sure flicking through channels would be easy enough with some kind of motion commands, but navigating to specific channels, how would you do that? I guess you could have a specific gesture for each individual channel, but even then, it would me much easier to just say the name of a chennel. Another idea would be a specific gesture to go to the list of channels, which you could then scroll through and select, but this is still more work then voice commands. I'm not saying this technology sucks, I think it's fantastic, but it doesn't solve every UI problem.

Mark Pilgrim's http://diveintopython.org/ is a good continuation to this book if you're interested in learning Python. It's also free, and there's a more recent version for Python 3 at http://diveintopython3.org/

Another idea along these lines would be to present a scene and ask the user how many objects are in the scene. It's a very difficult problem for computers to descern individual objects in a scene, especially if they overlap.
