That's interface builder ... It's not quite as "RAD" as VB was because you have to wire up all the data sources for things like tables manually, and rather than double clicking to add a click event, you have to this whole weird outlet/act

Maybe you wouldn't get so flustered if you just mentally append " who want it" to the end of phrases like "Programming literacy for all". I mean, is it really so bad to make it as easy and accessible as possible for someone who thinks they

Mad respect dude ... now I feel lame for not going to the gym this morning just because I was tired.

I'm actually really curious, how could the SEC (or any agency) take any action here? Sure, they can make rules that say you shouldn't trade bitcoins, or maybe even threaten fines ... but for someone who doesn't care to report their activity

yeah, but most of the +50 crowd grew up in a time where computers (and more specifically, programming computers) wasn't exactly commonplace. My son (9) plays minecraft everyday where he "programs" traps into his buildings with a combination

So what about boring, measured, and technically correct articles ... with crazily sensational a/b tested titles :P but seriously, I wouldn't have a problem with a sensational title, if the actual article itself does a good job of arguing fo

Looks pretty fun, I like the modular/random board concept as you move around. Backed :)

though, to be fair ... their inbox isn't necessarily something that they have to gaze through search results to find. So that doesn't really apply there.

That's a sample size of one person's experience. I on the other hand am constantly meeting people who's only mode of navigation on the web involves typing the word "facebook", or "gmail", or, yes, even "google" into the address bar, and the

With C# 5's async features ... a lot of code can now easily be non-blocking by default. Even making asynchronous actions in asp.net mvc can have an enormously positive impact on server scalability. Just because you can write synchronous/blo

E3 targets the consumer/sales end of the game market. GDC targets the developer (in the general sense, designers, 3d modelers, etc.) ... so there are marketing and sales types trying to sell developer tools (maya, perforce, etc.)

Hopefully they will share info about how not goes with the public. This is exactly what we need, pilot implementations so we can see what works an what doesn't, and innovate from there.

But that's the problem ... it's not, or at least is very difficult to convince the average person of it. If you're a middle aged dentist in Wyoming making $127k ( http://swz.salary.com/SalaryWizard/Dentist-Salary-Details-Ca... ), what are y

Interesting thought ... have there been any _high profile_ Windows OS vulnerabilities in recent times? I mean, I'm sure there are, there are still tons of patches rolled out on a regular basis. But they're not getting nearly as much media f

About the only time that you have to be really careful with stuff like this is if you're writing something that's super sensitive to GC pauses, such as an XNA game. In those cases, yield return, linq, lambdas, some foreach loops will all ge

I hope this doesn't come across as defensive, or as some form of national pride ... but I'm not sure I agree. If MOOCs deliver on the promise of delivering more education to more people, then the lower cost of obtaining said education shoul

I wholly agree with you, though I will expand it by saying that I hope they bring back some of the other vocational classes as well (woodshop, metalshop, etc). While I can't wait to see what new generations of programmers will bring us, we

Yeah, I agree it looks that way ... I thought it was a scammy site at first, but you can find it referenced on other sites ( http://www.fltreasury.org/ ), and even in the local media as legit (ie. http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2003-0

Hah, I looked up the Florida equivalent of this unclaimed property lookup/site, and it's humorously located at https://www.fltreasurehunt.org Looks like I had some unclaimed cash in lieu of shares from a previous employer. Claimed!
