I hear FarmVille makes some money. And game development for iOS and Android is perfectly viable in flash since AIR 2.6 and specially 2.7. There are a few features that are ok in PC that kill the performance in mobile, but for the most part

The problem, I believe, is that politicians use the laws as messages instead of as legislation. When there's media outrage about some subject or the other, the response of the clever politician is to reply with a new law that "helps" for th

That's not inherent to Flash, it's just an idiosyncrasy of Flash developers. It can and probably will change.

As a Flash games developer, I don't think I have a real reason to worry about (not that I don't know how to target other platforms, just that currently I use and like Flash). Flash still provides the best experience for browser games (thoug

They did it while playing a game. And there's a certain thrill in scamming people, certainly.

This is for battery performance reasons, not because it's familiar to book readers. An e-ink display only needs to consume battery when the image it's displayng changes. If you scroll, you refresh the whole page and you only show up one new

There are other tangible skills a computer scientist should have, other than programming. The ability to demostrate graph properties, solve computability and complexity problems, explain and develop algorithms are all things that don't requ

Going on a tangent here. While programming is certainly the most marketable skill of a computer scientist, computer science is not about programming . Computer science is the mathematical study of computation; it's the study of processes a

Or Firefox. Firefox will also send you to the open tab if you try to go to an URL you already went to, instead of opening a second instance of the same page.

Everyone everywhere except maybe in Africa is an immigrant of some type. At some point we just stop calling them immigrants, though.

I'm almost embarrassed to ask, but why is this happening? I read that this started saturday as a protest against a policeman who shot someone, but that doesn't seem to be what the protests is about now. The sources I checked don't reach any

Did you see the video? This still works when the light is made so dim that it's invisible to your eyes.

I don't think anybody(or any union for that matter) will stop working just like that. Especially considering the fact that time is equally crucial for them. It happens. The union has a very charismatic "one of us" leader, and when he says

I've seen also some victim blaming in saying "well if the job is hard, ask for a raise or get a union!" Interesting story there. Back in the mid-20th century, trucking was one of the most heavily unionized industries, via the IBT primarily

Couldn't the same point be made about cinema, though? Specially in the early years of the medium, it's easy to say that movies must be entertaining to watch. And yet we got fantastic works of art in cinema.

I'm a native spanish speaker, And I got 26,800. But then again more than half of the culture I consume is in english, and I spends an awful lot of time in forums and such.

Well, I live in Argentina and here the default chat application is MSN. Since MSN from hotmail's page works exactly as good as gtalk from gmail, the reason you us gmail is aprt of the reason I use hotmail.

by Fargren 15y ago
Going on a tangent, but hotmail is really good nowadays. My non-serious-mail-from-friends account is on hotmail, and it's as good as gmail, a bit better in some stuff and a bit worse in others.

I know very little about security, but is there something wrong with using a hash in the client side and then using bcrypt on the server so that you never receive the plain text password?

That's not to say you cannot convey many useful intuitions to students without the somewhat abstruse formal machinery. That's more or less what I was trying to say. There are some deeply intuitive concepts for which limits are, at the ver

by Fargren 15y ago
1. We introduce limits. Which are blindingly artificial, and so it is hard for us to form a concept about why people want this. I don't see limits as artificial as all. For example, Zeno's Paradox[1] is resolved thanks to the limit of a s

Hardly seems like they get better with age, just more active in educating other developers. The quality of posts doesn't look related to age at all. As far as I can tell, that should be the parameter to measure if you are going to make any
