Calling anybody the 'new Steve Jobs' is pretty tasteless. It's like the heirs fighting over the jewels while grandmother is still alive. Not a Steve Jobs fan, flagged anyway.

A company I work with uses ext.js, it's not open source (unfortunately) but I'm pretty impressed with what those guys can achieve with it and how long it takes them. Thanks for the downvote, whoever it was. If you have had a negative experi

Cool, really! Is there a way to 'hint' to the JIT compiler what layout you'd like to be used?

How do you deal with documenting the way the code gets mapped on to the GPU architecture? I've found that small tweaks in how things are laid out can cause huge performance gains (or losses) and if you've managed to automate that it would b

$2B is a lot of money, indeed. But the trend to hand out large funds to be managed by relatively young people is one that will increase as the margins on the trades decrease. You need to use a lot of money to work with if you want to do arb

Reluctant upvote. The point could have been made more effective without some of the imagery involved. Really, I like your writing James but that wasn't very tasteful.

You should put up a portfolio of the stuff you've done and apply to a start-up that's already funded for the quickest route to what you want. Any other path, including funding your own start-up is possible, but harder because you are now ou

When your logo is 'A large triangle with two triangles 1/3rd the size of the larger one cut out' chances are that you will run in to others that have done the same thing, only slightly different.

It would be cool if Wolfram could write about this kid without trying to subvert his accomplishments into an advertorial for mathematica. It's bad enough that he passes his employees results off as his own (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

So, that gives you your BATNA for negotiations with the dark side... Either google is very confident that they don't have serious bugs or they are setting themselves up for a problem. Imagine the value of finding a serious bug in adsense or

I don't recall a similar email when Yahoo! acquired delicious in the first place, why they should want permission now is beyond me. Hurley & Chen surely can do a better job and it strikes me as though an 'opt-out' would have been better

Given the number of attempted GPL violations I think that the answer is 'yes', it should be enforced legally. Corporations would run roughshod over he rights of their users otherwise. The GPL is one of the most creative uses of the copyrigh

This is true, but it may come down to the hidden cost of switching rather than the actual cost they pay every month.

I think it is just a viewpoint shift. Whether you look at the two people that interact at one instant in time or at one person at two different points in their lives the chain remains the same. I've had plenty of help in the past and I'm gi

Those are the same things no? If you were helped out then someone did a good deed to you, now you repay the favor by doing a good deed to someone else. It's just 'out of phase' with respect to the starting point but otherwise perfectly equi

Flash developers usually get a fixed chunk of space to work with and any trick they can use to squeeze 'more UI' out of that same space will be used. If hovering is no longer an option you can expect the size of these blocks to increase to

Regarding 'new atheism' as a movement, this is a pretty good read: http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?section=library&#38... I think that reviewer used the book to push his own viewpoints at the expense of the author, and does him a

That must be why flash, silverlight and all the other 'goodies' are still supported, just not in one particular view.
