I've never been able to play halo on a console, it feels far too inaccurate to me, now that I'm used to playing with a mouse.

I hate the kerning. The OO just doesn't fit with the rest of the logo in the slightest.

Thanks for saying what I've been finding difficult to put into words.

Your point about choosing the things that matter is the pertinent sentence. Apple doesn't want to put any focus on game, as media streaming is the focus of the device. Consider the possibilities: 1) Apple implements amazing support

I'm willing to bet that the Apple TV has a very weak processor and a similarly weak graphics card, or none at all. Without those, you're limited to (essentially) angry birds, and other games that aren't really associated with

Well yes, as it's unlikely that another school would let him in (post 16 education is no longer compulsory), and as he says, if he'd been kicked out a year earlier it would have essentially forced him to forfeit his a-levels and t

Even if they're not disjoint, you've pissed off what, 1-3% perhaps? now consider the fact that each of the pissed of users has multiple reasons to be pissed off, they're going to be a lot more vocal, which is going to be

The arch wiki is absolutely incredible. I don't know how they've got it so good, but for a reference of all the things that can be layered upon linux it's amazing.

Also, if there is some common code between the examples, include this near the start as scaffolding for the examples. This way the examples are leaner, yet still runnable.

The question mark doesn't even work for me (chrome linux), and no code is shown. [EDIT] My mistake, all you have to do is turn off https everywhere, or reload using http. Frustrating, but not 100% broken...

Sorry that I don't find references, in the middle of a tech article, to killing people in brutal, vicious ways all that appealing. Sure, I'll happily watch a slasher flick, but that's the time and the place for that. This is

mm, I agree with you there. I guess it's because sorts come up so much in a CS curriculum that they're considered to be magnificently important. In other words, they're just really handy bodies for imparting central ideas (

How will this "baffle normal people"? If by normal people you mean people who aren't data scientists, then sure, it will. It'll baffle them in the same way the bar exam will baffle "normal" people, those who ar

I'm shocked that a proper CS course wouldn't teach them. We covered Joins (and the relational maths behind them) in first year, and "nested for loops being bad" would be a necessary by-product of learning anything ab

ah, but HEP is the one where you can write the funding proposals for the big shiny toys, which the uni can show off.

So I'm assuming you missed all the references to murdering ex-girlfriends? I found it really unsettling, and somewhat sickening to read.

By that I'd mean the way more and more complexity has been layered on over the years.

ah, my mistake, I didn't check. mm, It's still (slightly) more effort, and more prone to breaking than pacman.

8pm? that's late...more or less everything (apart from the supermarkets) shuts in the UK at about 5:30-6:00...

The author mentioned using "Chromium with Vimium". For someone wanting easy keyboard shortcuts (like Vim) for a browser, I'd recommend luakit. It's a webkit based browser, scriptable (or written with?) lua, along with v

The germans are the economic titans of the EU, and from the coverage I've seen the population (both young and old) have seemed pretty outraged by the NSA stuff. I don't think this'll translate into EU policy, or even German

Why should the government decide what school is right for you? On the flip side, perhaps the government should refuse to provide loans for programmes without accreditation from a professional organisation?

C++ is a bad example. C itself is mindblowinly complex, and C++ layers more on top of that. A better example might be Python, or possibly Lua. Languages that have been designed, rather than grown organically, unlike C++/C/Javascri

You can. Rollercoaster tycoon was originally written in pure ASM. Allowing programming to be more widespread is a noble cause, but there comes a point (and I think it is approaching rapidly) where you layer so much abstration between the ma

And? That's brilliant, as it provides some progression after learning the language! Once you're confident with Arduino, you can move onto C++, from there ASM, etc...

I think that segregation in of itself can be dangerous too though. People will get stuck in the web programmer mindset, and never progress if they're interested in anything else.

I love python. It's nothing like javascript really. It's more like C, but with an approachable wrapper.

by 14113 13y ago
Personally it worries me because people can build whatever they want and call themselves "programmers". It encourages a state in the industry when knowing about data structures, hardware, turing machines or the other fundamentals

And arduino is even more approachable again.

by 14113 13y ago
But why a dedicated device? Why not just a JS -> ARM/AVR/whatever compiler? Then you can run it on microcontrollers that you can actually build up from. One of the best things about arduino is that it's based upon the ATMe
