Wouldn't a lossy JPEG (or HEIC) compression reduce the entropy?
Something I read a while ago that stuck with me - ‘When you are looking for a new opportunity, you are really just looking for a person.’ This reframing totally changed how I look for new jobs, and what suprised me more…
I think Tufte is great, and his ideas of reductionism should never go away. But, this is giving me MLA flashbacks all over again.
Resetting settings made a huge difference. Does not delete any data, only the settings across the phone
I have to disagree. However well intended, It sets up an unnecessary expectation, similar to your birthday. If you’ve ever gone through a birthday where nobody wished you, I don’t think you would want a maintainer to…
Have you read the book Traction yet? It provides a very usable growth framework. More importantly, It also allows you to start thinking of marketing as a testable iterative process, and this simple change in mindset can…
Slightly OT: The biggest collective fiction today is probably this idea that as tech person, we can change the world, and as a result we should try to change the world. Anything less impactful feels like a waste of…
Selection bias is something worth avoiding in understanding health studies. It’s quite likely that you know about these folks because they had the right genetics to be healthy outliers, and by extension, famous. It’s no…
This comment made me realize why I never remember summaries of self help books. Using examples makes it easier to relate and remember, whereas summaries require an additional step of mapping an ongoing situation to a…
I'll agree on the debt side. The grade issue is infinitely worse in a lot of competitive cultures. Even if you take the money factor away, Have non-US universities really figured out higher education? Most of them tend…
Even though this incident sounds more personal than idealistic, it keeps bringing back up the question of the purpose of universities. I am okay with universities being a medium of education, where one can take any…
It doesn't hurt that Microsoft is able to hire the best engineering grads, pay them 100k, and convince them that writing documentation for .NET is a better deal than building some pseduo cool product somewhere else at…
Three finger scrolling works on a mac (Lion). I think you can enable drag lock on snow leopard for the same effect. EDIT: The mouse does move off the view port during drag, so its probably not that much more efficient.
I'm not sure I understand this correctly. After buying the app and then asking someone for a favor - now they need to plunk down for the app to view the favor? I'm not sure they are going to want to do the favor at that…
I agree with MVP and your anecdotes - less bloat, all the better, but from a UI/UX perspective, let me give you a few examples of what usually gets thrown out in a mobile first design: Dropdown menus - Mobile first…
Good points, but I dont agree with this: >> 14. Design for mobile first (even if a mobile app is not in your roadmap). The constraints of a mobile context will force you to focus on what’s essential, and help…
Estimation becomes a lot easier a few weeks into any project. Once you have the framework and an overall story down, and you start getting your hands dirty with a few classes, the estimation numbers start to have more…
You would surprised to see how mind numbingly similar the middle class is across all the states in India. Or for that matter similar to middle classes across the world. Also - I dont think breaking it up will solve…
Yup. The 3 satellites will be used for primary communication along with an X-band transmitter on the rover itself to talk to earth. Edit: Link (communications): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiosity_rover#Specifications
Is it the angle of the photo - or did he just melt the pcb in Photo#4 in order to wipe out the A and figure out what chip it was?
The book is from 1996, but you are right, I did jump the gun there. It seems the 747 example itself has been around much longer than that - http://www.bpfh.net/sysadmin/never-underestimate-bandwidth.h... Apologies if I…
