"Does a mom obsessed with candy crush count" Why wouldn't she count? Cause she's a mom? Cause the game has candy? Or what? As for female assassins, truth is somewhere in the middle. You don't need to make everything…
Autism isn't just a "bad brain" condition that needs a "make brain better" game. Unfortunately it's a very specific condition with very specific needs. Calling Lumosity bullshit due to some expectation towards it that…
http://www.pixeltrek.com/img/crew.png Jean-Luc, you've really let yourself go, dude.
Does Lumosity make any claims about improving autism conditions? It's a pretty big leap of logic to believe that a generic brain game system should improve autism range conditions.
And yet, I wouldn't have opened yet another article on gamer sexism (I get it, gamer sexism is bad mkay?), but I did find the data point of half the gamers being female very compelling (and useful to mention during…
I feel they almost got the reason right, but not quite. We're used to hearing media stories about other people's success stories coming up with exotic, creative ideas. If we're hearing someone else's story, therefore,…
It's sharded, dude. You may want (typically) 3, 5 or 7 machines per shard for redundancy and failover, but there's no limit on the number of shards you may want to have.
This thread is 50 shades of gray, damn.
I actually upvoted the post for the comedy value.
For anyone paying attention, the SDK has been specifically modified to allow for: 1) Smaller satellite devices for iPhone (iWatch? I don't know, but something like it. Look for it in the Continuity & notification widget…
Oh look, it's a Daring Fireball post where Gruber is talking at length about how awesome Apple is.
I understood it won't pick up, and lo and behold, I understood it right. People were right that an x86 sandbox is a silly idea for a web standard, this is why it's no longer one. As it is right now, it's ASM.JS, without…
Random statements alert: - "Cool" fuzzy term, no specific definition given. - "Lose" fuzzy term, no specific definition given.
I'm happy that developers are excited enough about Swift that they can't stop writing about it. But... this is basically reiterating Apple's keynote and WWDC sessions. We already know about those strengths of Swift. And…
Kudos for the effort and so on, but the thing I can't understand is, who would use these backgrounds, unless they specifically want their site to look like their grandmother's house. It's 2014. By now we've realized…
Who is assuming that "system is against me" victim position you're talking about? I don't see it. People do what they can in their position. Spontaneous organization leading to system change happens, but it's…
There are entire countries where the modus operandi is finding a position of some power, then finding a way to cheat there so you can get something for yourself. Corruption is a measure of success. Knowing the loopholes…
Missing features weren't Microsoft's problem with Windows Phone. You can't ship from day one with all the features whether you lead or follow. Waiting until everything is there is a recipe for burning out your team and…
We're carrying cultural inertia from simpler times when people didn't have easy access to the entire world to air their feelings. It's culturally accepted to share your pain with people you know, and it's culturally…
Well I'm saying it tongue in cheek. For a long time I and many others have stuffed JSON in SQL table columns, and I will continue to do so (heck, databases have started supporting JSON as a result). But every time a…
I'm sure the last thing on Eric's mind right now is CSS and especially the implication of a RFC putting the name of his daughter in a technical specification. It's one of those nerdy endearing gestures that, while made…
It's always interesting to observe my bad developer practices (such as stuffing JSON in SQL table columns) become flexible "architectural patterns" for building "schema-free, scalable data storage".
Some nice finds here, but there's an issue. The conclusions are served completely isolated from the kind of people the research was done with. We're not all the same, we don't all react the same to the same traits of…
There are 7 billion of us, so we can take a hit of 50 million. Gimme a shot.
They wanted to study more people, but got distracted.
