I wish everyone in the world knew about Snopes. So many times someone posts something on FB, and a quick search inevitably turns up a page on snopes debunking whatever farce they're posting about ... if only they would do the same before po

As others have said, there will come a time which is probably unique for everyone, where things will "click". But a friend of mine had some good insight the other day. We were talking about complexity in software and why at times things see

First time I've heard the term software mechanic ... interesting, I've always thought there was a missing classification for someone who is good at reading specs/documentation and getting something configured and working (even if it takes w

Usually takes about an hour to be replicated out to the store when you upload an APK ... but no humans are involved in that process.

I didn't have quite as bad an experience submitting my app ( http://codecube.net/2012/09/introducing-viewer-for-khan-acad... ) to the w8 store. But it did fail the first time and I was quite annoyed at the reason. It failed for requirement

You should go over all of your side projects and catalog the point in the project and the reason that your interest fell off. Maybe you'll find a common theme such as, "built prototype, now need to add a ton of (tedious) features". Or "buil

Shhh, maybe no one will notice that we've been using these services for months (years?)!

Wow, I clicked on the link out of random curiosity to see what he'd say; but that's pretty disheartening.

This is actually why I tend to be pretty granular with my commits ... I just like looking at the list and saying, well, I done that!

Not my app, but you could check out iCircuit's experience: http://praeclarum.org/post/31799384896/icircuit-code-reuse-t... He achieves anywhere from 69-87% code reuse depending on the platform. They did a bit of a case study a while ago w

I suspect that answer will be different for everyone. Some will have had them as an accident, some will have had them to "save the marriage", some will have had them to bring companionship into their lives, some will have them out of religi

I too have a wife and two children and often feel the same as parent. The choice to get married (at 18) and have kids (first one at 20) was actually quite deliberate. We talked about whether we wanted to live it up now and do all the seriou

Many americans, the ones being discussed here do not think that way . No matter how many times you try to explain how to "save in the long run", up front cost is by far the biggest decision factor. A better way to describe it is not that i

I'm not sure how you got this from that post, if anything the future has never looked brighter for .NET/C# developers. The ability to target all mainstream platforms, a burgeoning open source community, and fantastic tools. Of course, other

I know I am but one data point, but I feel that was a poor investment choice for the windows team. They should have doubled down on XAML/C#, along with unmanaged code to bring in toolkits like unity and other developers that prefer working

What!? this is entirely incorrect ... with MonoDevelop you can use the entire framework (linq, async/await, sqlite, entity framework, etc.). It's possible to build applications without using visual studio at all (minus winrt apps, you need

This is the real story here. C#, as a language is fantastic, especially with the most recent versions which have added things like the Task Parallel Library, dynamic keyword, and the new async/await stuff. It's very easy to write a great pe

Yep, you're 100% correct that freedom of speech, and the first amendment aren't one and the same. But what you're advocating is precisely what I'm talking about. Gawker is free to bring a spotlight to this guy's actions, just as you are fre

I've read some comments in other places to the effect of complaining about free speech rights. As I always say, everyone has the right to say/post what they want (within legal boundaries) ... but everyone else is 100% free to react to what

A person's priorities usually change over time. I've changed jobs in the past for industry (worked at EA for a bit), money (worked at an investment bank for a while), and for culture (currently doing mobile app development). Each choice was

My brother in law, who is a foreman for a crew of painters on Disney property, has been waiting for this, specifically for office. I've often suggested that he could just collaborate on documents (and they do this often) through google docs

I second this ... every job I've had (with the exception of my first programming job) has come through contacts made at meetups/user groups. Although, secondary to that has been keeping up a laundry list of secondary projects that I work on

I am so super excited about this game. Really interested to see what comes of the whole 'shared multiverse' ideas that he was talking about ... especially when joined with the programmable computers, I can't wait!

Not the XNA from Microsoft. But if you use MonoGame, you can publish on the win8 store.

My 8yo son, 11yo daughter, 10yo niece, and 14yo nephew all recently got into it. I set up a server for them. My nephew I think might become an architect, he loves making real-world looking buildings, complete with furniture, rooms, bathroom
