The 4.7 in version bump is negligible for most ppl's palms. Even the majority of people with small hands still engulf the 4 in. size. I think it would be a moot point in a majority of cases unless you are really jones'ing for the pocket space and portability...
This metaphor will probably fly over most people's head.
It makes perfect sense to me if you can imagine the progression of a beginner entering any sport
When you try to become more athletic do you shoot more free throws or run more passing routes ? Neither. Your goal is to build a strong foundation in strength, speed, agility, and power up to an elite level and then specialize once you've decided what sport or position you want to play to tailor your training appropriately.
One of the decisions we made early on was to only hire athletes. Metaphorically speaking, that is. I don’t mean athletes as in people who play sports. Athletes, as in people that can play any position within your startup. It means someone is first and foremost a generalist. They are guys that think and act like founders because they’re not so locked into one individual role that they lose track of the wider needs of the company. They have lots of good skills that can be applicable all over the company but may not be the very best at any particular one skill.
So no a ninja would not necessarily be a generalist if we were to talk about ninjas...
Your example of simplicity is a bit conflated since you don't even need PHP to put hello world on a internet visible web page in the first place:
echo 'hello world' > /var/www/index.html
Set up something a little more useful albeit trite such as a blog and you wouldn't be able to do that in 10 minutes with PHP without using a framework either. PHP is great for "unit testing" of ideas but once it grows out of that it's debateable
I do concur that deploying a Python or Ruby web app is a pain in the ass. Installing git and installing Heroku, you're only 2 lines of code away though.
There are depressed people who don't use the internet at all. Your symptoms would just fall into something like "IRL symptoms". I think the the study is trying to point out a detection mechanism for depressives who use internet. It wouldn't be a holistic diagnosis. That said I'm not sure corelation and causation in this study. I feel like people can use the internet for "escape" and "entertainment" and still lead perfectly fulfilling lives.
I'm not familiar with Civilization resources so how would it be possible to perpetually build Nukes ? Wouldn't there be an energy cap or is there some sort of tech to cotinually generate the needed resources.
I've had my GNexus since January. Still fast and responsive here.
I wonder if certain usage profiles of varying demographics degrades a phone over time analagous to Windows XP needing a reformat every now and then. If unresponsiveness is your only problem I wonder if a factory reset would do it any good ?
A quick answer isn't research anyways. It's like going to a wikipedia page and blaming it for giving the superficial amount of knowledge you needed in the first place. Do we stop there? No, we employ further systematic investigation.
Don't wear em if you know where you're going. I don't think anybody uses Google Maps to get to their own house or anything they're familiar with. I only watched the video without sound but my guess is the use case is to help you interact and get things done when you have no starting point or fishing for something unfamiliar.
Basically its just a HCI transformation from phone to glasses which I personally wouldn't use either. I'm still waiting for the contacts version ;)
He's referring to the fact you have to pay $99.00 to distribute your apps on the App Store.
The IDE's on both OS's are irrelevant arguments. There are free versions of Visual Studio as well that work just as nice as the Professional editions. Those editions are for corporate enterprise architect roles etc.
Isn't Technical Writing a required course for most CS/E curriculum anyways? I know UF requires it. Although knowing it and applying it takes practice and time.
